# Get the source organization for custom agents in an enterprise

`GET /enterprises/{enterprise}/copilot/custom-agents/source`

Gets the organization and repository configured as the source for custom agent definitions and Copilot CLI client settings in an enterprise.

Custom agents are enterprise-defined AI agents stored as markdown files in a special repository.
An enterprise admin configures one organization as the "source" for custom agents and
Copilot CLI client settings, and that org must have a repo named `.github-private` containing agent
definitions in `/agents/*.md`, or enterprise-managed AI standards in `copilot/managed-settings.json` (with fallback to `.github/copilot/settings.json`). [Learn more about configuring enterprise-managed AI standards for Copilot clients](https://docs.github.com/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-for-enterprise/manage-agents/configure-enterprise-plugin-standards).

Enterprise owners with read access to AI Controls can use this endpoint.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the `admin:enterprise` scope to use this endpoint.
