Overview
- Agent HQ will host agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and Cognition, with third‑party options rolling out to Copilot subscribers in the coming months.
- An agent control plane and a mission control interface introduce policy enforcement, identity controls, audit logging and real‑time monitoring across agent tasks.
- New Copilot capabilities add an embedded code‑review step via Code Quality plus an organization‑wide metrics dashboard covering acceptance rates, model utilization by language, cost per inference unit and team trends.
- VS Code integrations introduce an AGENTS.md specification for guardrails, a plan mode that guides task creation and access to Model Context Protocol servers through GitHub’s MCP Registry.
- GitHub cites a base of over 180 million developers as it pursues an ecosystem play, while analysts say enterprise use of coding agents remains early with limited governance and measurement frameworks.
