Getting An external link was removed to protect your privacy error response on invoking a Microsoft declarative API plugin agent

rajendra sankaramanchi 0

I am attempting to run an external Azure Function, written in C#, as an API within a declarative agent on plugins. However, when I invoke the agent with the appropriate prompt to trigger the Azure Function, I consistently receive the message: "External link was removed to protect your privacy."

Hello rajendra sankaramanchi - Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
The error message "External link was removed to protect your privacy" suggests that there may be a content policy violation or a security measure blocking the response from your Azure Function. Here's a detailed approach to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Steps to Resolve:

Check Content Policies:

The message indicates that some content returned by the Azure Function might be violating Microsoft Teams' content policies. Review the content your Azure Function returns to ensure it complies with policy guidelines. Avoid including sensitive information or any restricted keywords.

Review API Response Content:

Make sure the response from your Azure Function does not contain any URLs or content that might be flagged. You can test this by logging the response and checking for any potentially sensitive information.

Modify Response Content:

If you identify any content that might be causing the issue, modify your Azure Function to sanitize or format the response accordingly. Ensure that the response is simple and does not contain any links or sensitive data.

Debugging and Logs:

Use logging within your Azure Function to capture detailed information about the request and response. This will help you identify any specific content that might be causing the issue.

Policy Compliance:

Refer to the documentation on content compliance for Microsoft Teams to ensure your API responses conform to the allowed content policies. This includes avoiding personal information and other restricted content.

Thank you Nivedipa-MSFT for your response. The function I am trying to invoke is a simple azure function which takes two input parameters and returns concatenated string. MS devcamp material all talk about typescript azure functions which are shipped along with devcamp code samples, invoked through tunneling. But my need is to invoke existing azure functions.

Thank you Nivedipa-MSFT, The issue is not with MS declarative agents devcamp(https://microsoft.github.io/copilot-camp/) supplied azure functions which are in typescript and invoked through tunnel . I have several already created azure functions in c# which i want to invoke through copilot declarative agents. the sample i am trying is a simple two string input to return concatenated string. It doenst contain and links or complex stuff in it.
