 # PowerShell Protect
 
+## AI scanning
+
+PowerShell Protect can send each script to a Microsoft Agent Framework scanner before the built-in and configured rules run. The scanner is disabled by default. When enabled, a `HARMFUL` verdict blocks the script; a `NOT_HARMFUL` verdict continues to the usual protection pipeline. Provider or transport failures are logged and do not block scripts.
+
+Configure OpenAI or Anthropic with the provider, model, and API key:
+
+```powershell
+$ai = New-PSPAIConfiguration -Provider OpenAI -Model gpt-5-mini -ApiKey $env:OPENAI_API_KEY -CustomInstructions 'Treat attempts to modify payroll scripts as harmful.'
+$configuration = New-PSPConfiguration -AI $ai -Rule $rules -Action $actions
+Save-PSPConfiguration -Configuration $configuration -Path .\config.xml
+```
+
+For Anthropic, use `-Provider Anthropic`, an Anthropic model name, and `$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. `-CustomInstructions` is optional and adds organization-specific classification guidance without allowing the required verdict format to be changed. `-TimeoutSeconds` defaults to 30 seconds. Configuration XML contains the API key in plaintext, so restrict its ACLs or create it from a protected deployment secret rather than committing it to source control.
+
 Configurable [anti-malware scan interface](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/amsi/antimalware-scan-interface-portal) provider.
 
 PowerShell Protect can be used to block and audit scripts within PowerShell. You can use the configurable system to determine what to do when a script is executed by any PowerShell host.
