In this post we will review how to subscribe to Microsoft Copilot events.
Notice that the Microsoft Copilot uses a totally different mechanism than the Microsoft Copilot Studio agents, see the Microsoft External Threat Detection post.
Create Encryption Key
We start by create an a-symmetric encryption key:
openssl genrsa -out private.key 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -key private.key -out publicCert.cer -days 365
base64 publicCert.cer > publicCertBase64.txt
awk 'NF {printf "%s", $0}' publicCertBase64.txt > cert_clean.txt
Create App Registration
Use Microsoft Entra to create a new App Registration with permissions: AiEnterpriseInteraction.Read.All. Notice this permission is under the "Microsoft graph” section.
After adding the permissions to the AppRegistration, click the Grant Admin Consent button for the permissions.
We also add client secret allowing to use the AppRegistration in a script. As far as I could see, there is not GUI available for this, and we must use a script.
Create a Service
To supply a subscribe endpoint that Microsoft would send the messages to, create a public available service using a valid TLS certificate. For example, the endpoint can be:
https://my-site.com/interactions
Notice this endpoint should accept both GET and POST requests.
A very simple example of such endpoint is below.
func (e *Executor) Execute(p web.Parser) interface{} {
log.Info("interactions starting")
validation := p.QueryParam("validationToken")
log.Info("token: %v", validation)
data, err := p.GetBodyAsBytes()
if err != nil {
kiterr.RaiseIfError(err)
}
log.Info("body: %v", string(data))
p.SetHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain")
p.WriteStreamingResponse([]byte(validation))
return nil
}
Call the Subscribe API
Use the following to subscribe to events:
#!/bin/bash
TENANT_ID="12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
CLIENT_ID="12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
CLIENT_SECRET="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890abcd"
request_token(){
SCOPE=graph.microsoft.com
curl -s -X POST "https://login.microsoftonline.com/$TENANT_ID/oauth2/v2.0/token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "client_id=$CLIENT_ID&scope=https%3A%2F%2F${SCOPE}%2F.default&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials" \
| jq -r '.access_token'
}
request_subscription(){
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '

ACCESS_TOKEN=$(request_token_graph)
request_subscription
Notice the subscription is limit to up to 2 days in the future, and should be renew to continue to get events.
The encryption certification is the content of the cert_clean.txt that we've created.
Decryption of the Messages
A simple bash to handle the encrypted parts of the messages is below.
dataKey_base64=$(jq -r '.value[].encryptedContent.dataKey' event/event.json)
encrypted_data_base64=$(jq -r '.value[].encryptedContent.data' event/event.json)
dataSignature_base64=$(jq -r '.value[].encryptedContent.dataSignature' event/event.json)
# Decode the base64-encoded symmetric key
echo "$dataKey_base64" | base64 --decode > encrypted_key.bin
# Decrypt the symmetric key using your RSA private key with OAEP padding
openssl pkeyutl -decrypt -inkey key/private.key -pkeyopt rsa_padding_mode:oaep -in encrypted_key.bin -out symmetric_key.bin
# Extract first 16 bytes of symmetric key as IV (hex)
iv=$(xxd -p -l 16 symmetric_key.bin)
# Decode encrypted data
echo "$encrypted_data_base64" | base64 --decode > encrypted_data.bin
# Decrypt using AES-CBC with PKCS7 padding
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in encrypted_data.bin -out decrypted_data.json \
-K $(xxd -p -c 256 symmetric_key.bin) \
-iv "$iv"
Final Note
As expected for a Microsoft API this is a complicated method to get data.
Why is double encryption of the messages required? We are already using TLS.
Why can't we subscribe forever?
Anyway, eventually it works and can be used to store the agents interactions.
Have fun.
