🤖 AI-Generated Preliminary Analysis:

This is a known issue in the Microsoft Teams and Copilot Agents documentation: several GitHub issues (#13260, #12984, #13181) reported missing or outdated information, especially regarding manifest requirements for Copilot scopes and agent configuration details.

Workarounds:

• For Copilot-enabled apps, ensure your app manifest includes 'Copilot' in both bot.scopes and bot.commandList.scopes.
• In copilotAgents, include either declarativeAgents or customEngineAgents, but not both.

If the Developer Portal or Toolkit strips out "copilot" scopes on save (see issue), keep your toolkit up to date, and manually update your manifest as needed—then repackage before submission.

If you want more details or official sample manifests, see:

• Known GitHub agent documentation issues & fixes

If you need help with a specific agent or manifest, please provide:

• Your development environment (VS Code/VS/CLI)
• Toolkit version
• Reproduction steps
• Any error logs

✨We'd love your feedback! Please take a moment to fill out our survey.
