Getting started with AI agent discovery

Written by Velizar Demirev

What's an AI agent?

An AI agent is a persistent automation built on a platform like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or n8n. Unlike one-off AI queries, agents stay active, connect to other tools, and can process data continuously—often without the security team knowing they exist.

Supported platforms

AI agent discovery works with the following platforms:

  • Microsoft Copilot Studio

  • Salesforce Agentforce

  • Make

  • ServiceNow

  • n8n

  • Tines

  • Workato

  • Abacus

  • ChatGPT

  • Claude managed agents

  • LangSmith Fleet

  • Gemini for Google Workspace

To start discovering agents, you need to have the relevant connected apps set up in Nudge Security. If a platform isn't connected yet, you'll see a prompt to connect it.

Connecting apps

Go to Settings → Connected Apps in the left sidebar. Use the capability filter to show the connected apps that support AI agent discovery. From there you can connect your company organization for each AI app into Nudge Security.

Where to find AI agent details

Go to Identities → AI Agents in the left sidebar. You'll also find an AI Agents sub-tab under Dashboards → AI.

If no agents have been discovered yet, you'll see an empty state with a link to connect your AI platforms.

How often does discovery refresh?

Agent data refreshes approximately every 24 hours as part of the connected app sync cycle. New agents—or changes to existing ones—may take up to 24 hours to appear after initial discovery.
