agent-framework-purview
Microsoft Purview (Graph dataSecurityAndGovernance) integration for Microsoft Agent Framework.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are building agents on the Microsoft Agent Framework and have Purview configured in your Azure tenant. The middleware integrates cleanly, adds low install friction, and solves a real compliance problem. However, the Beta status and recent release date mean you should expect API changes and test thoroughly before production use. Not applicable if you lack Purview infrastructure or are not using the Microsoft Agent Framework.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Microsoft Azure subscription with Purview configured and Microsoft 365 E5 license; also requires Entra app registration with dataSecurityAndGovernance Graph permissions.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel and three runtime dependencies (agent-framework-core, azure-core, httpx).
- Package is in active development with recent releases; marked Beta status and released just 15 days ago, so expect ongoing changes.

What it is and what it does
agent-framework-purview is a middleware layer that integrates Microsoft Purview's data governance engine into the Microsoft Agent Framework. It intercepts both user prompts and model responses, evaluating them against centrally managed Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and security policies before allowing them to proceed. When a violation is detected, the middleware blocks the content and substitutes a system message, preventing sensitive data from reaching the LLM or leaving your system.
The package handles authentication via azure-identity credentials, includes built-in caching (4-hour default TTL, 200MB default size) to reduce API calls, and supports both synchronous and asynchronous credential flows. Configuration is done through PurviewSettings, which lets you customize blocked messages, set cache parameters, and scope policies by application location. It's designed to work with any Agent or orchestration using the standard Agent Framework middleware pipeline.
Use it for
- Prevent sensitive customer data, PII, or trade secrets from being sent to an LLM by blocking prompts that violate DLP policies.
- Audit and log all AI interactions in Purview for compliance, eDiscovery, and insider risk management without rewriting agent logic.
- Block model responses containing regulated data (e.g., financial records, health information) before they leave your system.
- Enforce centrally managed security policies across multiple agents without duplicating policy logic in each agent.
- Test agent behavior under governance constraints using Purview's policy simulation and offline evaluation features.
