Microsoft said Foundry will get the tool GitHub uses to run AI agents. SAP may cut off agents skipping its approved routes.

GitHub built it to run its own AI services, and the move to Foundry, Microsoft's service for building AI agents, was announced this week, the tech newsletter The Stack reported. Microsoft says it gives companies "a fully managed way to build agents that reason, use tools, and complete complex, long-running tasks." No date or price was given.

The SAP rule is not new. In its current API policy, SAP forbids using its interfaces, the connections other software uses to reach SAP, with AI systems "that plan, select, or execute sequences of API calls", except through routes SAP has endorsed. The policy lets SAP throttle, suspend or end access when the rules are broken.

Enterprise architects sign off the integration design, so the two facts land on the same desk. Once business teams can build agents that call several systems in a row, each agent that reaches SAP needs one of those endorsed routes.

Our reading: Microsoft makes agents easier to build, and SAP's policy decides where they may go. Neither company has said whether Foundry agents will get an endorsed route into SAP.
