Depending on the type of agent, we can use different authentication methods when connecting to Azure. The easiest method would be to use your personal credentials and allow an agent to log in. Even if it sounds like a quick and easy method, do not attempt to implement it. Not only may such a solution fail in various environments (as authenticating to Microsoft Entra ID may require MFA or be secured with conditional access) but it may also expose your credentials to other people.
