Triage and analysis

Investigating OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Custom Agent Published

A custom agent was published. Published agents with connectors, skills, and store visibility can establish durable automation and broaden data access.

Escalate when visibility is broader than expected, connectors are sensitive, or the publisher is not authorized to release agents. Close as a false positive for approved platform rollouts.

Possible investigation steps

Identify the actor and agent identifiers on the alert.
Review connectors, skills, store visibility, and any release notes or description fields.
Confirm whether publication matches an approved change request.
Look for related trigger creation or OAuth link events from the same actor.

False positive analysis

Platform teams publish approved custom agents during controlled workspace rollouts.

Response and remediation

Unpublish or delete unauthorized agents and revoke connected OAuth links.
Review recent agent runs if the agent may already have executed.
