# Effective Steps for Troubleshooting Business Central Agents

[Read the post](https://aardvarklabs.blog/2026/04/24/effective-steps-for-troubleshooting-business-central-agents/) · Aardvark Labs (Marcel Chabot) · 2026-04-24 · 1181 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> This post explains how to troubleshoot Business Central agents by examining task logs, step-by-step operations, and detailed agent actions. It covers analyzing agent reasoning, reviewing data visibility, adjusting agent permissions and profiles, and monitoring Copilot credit consumption.

## Key points

- Agents perform work in discrete steps, and you can view each step's description, reasoning, and details in the Agent Tasks page
- The View Log Entries shows how an agent navigated pages and invoked actions; View Details reveals what data and tools the agent accessed
- Adjusting agent permissions, creating tuned profiles with limited role options, and controlling data visibility improves agent performance and reduces token usage
- Monitor Copilot credit consumption to understand agent costs; each credit costs $0.01
