Today, we’re excited to announce the public preview of a Sentinel connector builder agent, via VS code extension, that helps developers build Microsoft Sentinel codeless connectors faster with low-code and AI-assisted prompts. This new capability brings guided workflows directly into the tooling developers already use, helping accelerate time to value as the Sentinel ecosystem continues to grow.

Why this matters
As the Microsoft Sentinel ecosystem continues to expand, developers are increasingly tasked with delivering high‑quality, production‑ready connectors at a faster pace, often while working across different cloud platforms and development environments. Building these integrations involves coordinating schemas, configuration artifacts, Azure deployment concepts, and validation steps that provide flexibility and control, but can span multiple tools and workflows. As connector development scales across more partners and scenarios, there is a clear opportunity to better integrate these capabilities into the developer environments teams already rely on.
The new Sentinel connector builder agent, using GitHub Copilot in the Sentinel VS code extension, brings more of the connector development lifecycle -- authoring, validation, testing, and deployment into a single, cohesive workflow. By consolidating these common steps, it helps developers move more easily from design to validation and deployment without disrupting established processes.
