I've been attempting to create and connect an Azure SQL database as a Knowledge source for a Copilot Agent and before getting to any connection options, it shows an error message "There was a problem connecting to Azure SQL.".

There are no details beyond this and all other knowledge sources I've tried have been working. Please help me understand what is going on.

I create an Agent in Copilot Studio:

Once created I navigate to the Knowledge tab:

Select Azure SQL from the popup:

See this error and nothing else:

Anyone know what is going on here?
