Copilot Studio agents sound confident but cannot see the customer and order data that lives in on-prem SQL Server. This episode shows Power Platform makers and architects how to connect SQL through the on-premises data gateway as a knowledge source and with write-back actions, without opening the firewall or moving the data.

Key takeaways
Worth quoting
“Directly exposing SQL data to the cloud is corporate self-harm. Firewalls, network zones, and authentication boundaries exist precisely because someone once tried just opening a port and spent the next quarter explaining the breach.” – Mirko Peters (02:04)
“The gateway maintains sovereignty by initiating every conversation outward, picture it like an employee who only makes phone calls. They never accept incoming ones.” – Mirko Peters (03:48)

Key takeaways
- The on-premises data gateway lets Copilot Studio query and update on-prem SQL Server through outbound-only, encrypted connections without copying the database to the cloud.
- Expose only well-named, read-optimized views as knowledge sources and clearly labeled parameters for SQL actions, so the agent queries precisely and asks for missing inputs.
- Use gateway clusters for resilience, separate read and write credentials, and export Power Platform telemetry for auditing.
