Ask for a demonstration
Demonstrate discovering an n8n or Copilot Studio agent an employee built last week, showing the creator, its OAuth grants, and any unauthenticated MCP connection.
Capabilities and evidence
Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.
Vendor claim
Discovers AI agents as employees create them, including agents deployed without approval, showing who created each agent, what it is connected to, its permissions and capabilities, and what data it can access, across Copilot Studio, Agentforce, Gemini, OpenAI, n8n, ServiceNow, Databricks, Workato and Tines.
Limit: Explicitly labelled a research preview; the page does not document the technical connector used per platform.

Vendor claim
Surfaces AI connections created through OAuth grants and API tokens and answers what MCP activity exists in an environment, flagging MCP connections with no authentication.
Limit: No documentation reviewed on how MCP activity is observed or how complete that view is.

Vendor claim
Nudge describes four shadow AI detection methods - email-based discovery, browser-based discovery, network monitoring, and SaaS API connections used by SSPM tools - and states each has blind spots so comprehensive solutions combine several.
Limit: This is Nudge's own framing of the market; it does not state which combination Nudge itself implements for every platform.

Limitations to discuss
- Research preview status means feature set and platform coverage may change
