Local AI agent discovery on Windows endpoints

Why it matters: In preview

Local AI agent discovery on Windows endpoints: as part of the Defender AI agents experience, Microsoft Defender now automatically discovers supported local AI agents running on onboarded Windows devices - including coding agents and IDE extensions, desktop AI assistants, local AI runtimes, and agent platforms. Discovered agents appear as assets in the AI agent inventory, exposure map, and advanced hunting, giving security teams visibility into local AI agent usage across the organization. For more information, see Discover local AI agents.

Affected: Microsoft Defender XDR, Advanced Hunting
