Note: This changelog only includes the changes for the stable versions of Teams Toolkit. For the changelog of pre-released versions, please refer to the Teams Toolkit Pre-release Changelog.
This patch version update of Teams Toolkit introduces several incremental enhancements:
- Terminology Update: The term
Copilot Agenthas been updated toAgentin the user interface. #12672 - Debug Session Improvement: Resolved an issue where child processes were not fully terminated when a debug session was stopped. #12673
- Manifest Validation Fix: Addressed a problem where manifest validation failed with multi-line user instructions for declarative agents. #12677
- Schema Validation Fix: Corrected an issue where manifest schema validation was unsuccessful for projects that included an API Plugin. #12679
This update represents a minor version increment of the Teams Toolkit, introducing new features and addressing user-reported bugs. These incremental enhancements were previously documented in the prerelease version and a series of blog posts:
- July Prerelease: You can now debug Teams apps directly in the desktop client, use managed identities for better security, and clean up development resources more easily.
- August Prererelease: This update adds enhanced app validation, Python support for intelligent chatbots, and the ability to create custom copilots. It also introduces the Assistant API on Azure OpenAI Service for AI Agents.
Below is a comprehensive list of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes implemented since the last stable release.
-
External File Support for Declarative Copilot Instructions: Developers now have the ability to use an external file to author instructions for their declarative copilots and reference it in the manifest file. This greatly improves the authoring experience for longer instructions compared to using JSON files.
-
Plugin Integration for Declarative Copilot: Teams Toolkit now allows developers to add a plugin as a skill to the declarative copilot. Developers can either add a new API plugin using an OpenAPI description document or reference an existing API plugin via its manifest file.
-
Enhanced App Validation: Developers can now evaluate their app packages using the same test cases Microsoft employs during app review. The Enhanced App Validation feature in Teams Toolkit identifies any errors or warnings within your app package and provides clear guidelines for resolution. For more details on Microsoft test cases, refer to the Teams Store validation guidelines and Commercial marketplace certification policies.
-
Generate an Intelligent Chatbot with Python: Following the release of support for building Custom Engine Copilot during Build 2024, which included the ability to "chat with" your own API, Teams Toolkit now extends this capability to the Python programming language.
-
Create Declarative Copilot: Teams Toolkit now allows you to build a declarative copilot, enabling you to customize Microsoft 365 Copilot by declaring specific instructions, actions, and knowledge. Declarative copilots run on the same orchestrator, foundation models, and trusted AI services that power Microsoft Copilot. You can learn more about declarative copilots here. The toolkit supports the creation of both basic declarative copilots and those with an API plugin.
-
Using Assistant API on Azure OpenAI Service: The Teams Toolkit has updated the
AI Agent(Python) app template to support the Assistant API on Azure OpenAI Service. You can now build your own AI Agents on Microsoft 365 using Python, with the option to use either Azure OpenAI Service or OpenAI directly. Support for TypeScript and JavaScript is forthcoming. -
Debug Apps in Teams Desktop Client: The Teams desktop client now offers a faster and more reliable way to debug your Teams applications, with the same capabilities available in the Teams web client, such as breakpoints and hot reload. This feature is now available for Custom Engine Copilots, Bots, and Message Extensions apps.
-
Use Managed Identity for Bot and Message Extension when deploying to Azure: The Teams Toolkit has transitioned from client ID and secret-based identity to user-assigned managed identity for Bot and Message Extension application templates, enhancing security. Learn more about the benefits of using managed identities for Azure resources.
-
Clean Up Resources Created After Development: You can now safely clean up resources created after application development by deleting the application registration in the Teams Developer Portal and Bot Framework Portal, and removing uploaded custom apps in Microsoft 365 applications. This can be done via the
teamsapp uninstallcommand, either by using the App ID in the Teams application manifest file or by specifying an environment if your project is managed by the Teams Toolkit.
-
Integrated CodeTour Instructions for Using Graph Connector Data Source: The
Chat With Your Data - Microsoft 365app template in Teams Toolkit now includes interactive CodeTour instructions. By default, the app uses content uploaded to SharePoint, but with these instructions, you can easily switch to a Graph connector data source if you have external content. Learn more about using the Graph connector.
-
Build AI Agent With Assistant API and Python: Previously we have included the AI Assistant Bot app template to help you get started with building a GPT-like chat bot with AI capabilities using
Teams AI Library. Now we have added a new AI Agent app template to help you build an AI agent with Assistant API and Python. This template showcases how to build an intelligent chat bot in Teams capable of helping users accomplish a specific task using natural language right in the Teams conversations, such as solving a math problem.
- Teams Toolkit will continue to update scaffold app templates to ensure compliance with Teams Store validation guidelines. The first round of updates focuses on bot templates, including:

Four types of data sources are available:
Customize: Load data from a custom data source, for example, the file system or vector Database.Azure AI Search: Load data from Azure AI Search service and use it in conversation with users.Custom API: Invoke the API defined in the OpenAPI description document to retrieve domain data from the API service.Microsoft 365: Query Microsoft 365 data from the Microsoft Graph Search API as a data source in the conversation.
