Today we are going to look at the tool available by default in agent_framework pypi package.  A2A tool -  get_a2a_tool Web search tool -  get_web_search_tool File search tool -  get_file_search_tool Azure AI search tool -  get_azure_ai_search_tool bing custom search tool -  get_bing_custom_search_tool bing grounding tool -  get_bing_grounding_tool brower automation tool -  get_browser_automation_tool code interpreter tool -  get_code_interpreter_tool computer use tool -  get_computer_use_tool fabric tool -  get_fabric_tool image generation tool -  get_image_generation_tool mcp tool -  get_mcp_tool memory tool -   get_memory_search_tool shell tool -  get_shell_tool To use these tool here are some code snippet for illustration only :- import asyncio import os from agent_framework import Agent from agent_framework . foundry import FoundryChatClient from azure . identity import AzureCliCredential asyn...

You can now write your own coding editor using copilot SDK - a production ready, mature and well tested framework. For more info, try visiting https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk And the best part with this is that we have some sample implementation code here:- https://github.com/microsoft-foundry/foundry-samples/tree/main/samples/python/hosted-agents/bring-your-own/activity/github-copilot/src/github-copilot-activity And we have some docs to go with it here:- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/how-to/develop/use-microsoft-foundry-skill?tabs=vscode

Some tips when working with agent_framework Approve mode Did you know we can use get away with those manual approval everytime an agent call a remote tool with " approval_mode=never_required " - here is an example code snippet that allows us to do this. @ tool ( description = " List files in a directory. " , approval_mode = " never_require " ) def list_files ( directory : str ) -> list [ str ]:     """ List files in a directory. """     try :         return os . listdir ( directory )     except Exception as e :         return [ f "Error listing files in { directory } : { e } " ]     Azure Foundry Toolkit 

Have you tried Azure Foundry Toolkit - it is an essential toolki that allow us to develop, evaluate model and deploy Azure Agentic Framework app to Azure cloud. All that capabilities into your vscode. 

 File search allow us to feed information into our model  In this implementation we are deploying agent in Azure Foundry and it uses chatgpt-5-mini. I created the file search manually. You agent can only have 1 index.  File search is not RAG.  With RAG you use Azure AI Search. File search is pretty generic. It requires basic setup where you don't necessary have to create a storage account manually to host your file.  As you can see here, I am uploading zippolock product info and it automatically create an index and embedd the info for me. There are limits to the file that you will be uploading.  And then I save this as an agent as shown here :- Ensuring we have the right pypi dependencies dependencies = [      "agent-framework>=1.13.0",      "azure-ai-projects", # Main Azure Foundry SDK      "azure-identity", # For authentication ] And then we can use the following code to query what is zippolock. The magic is...

 Ran into this issue here when setting up Azure Foundry agent to use "chatgpt-4-1-mini".   "<class 'agent_framework_foundry._chat_client.FoundryChatClient'> service failed to complete the prompt: Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': 'Encrypted content is not supported with this model"> The solution - I have to deploy and update my code to use chatpgt-5-mini

Azure Verified module for terraform is great but it does not mean you get everything for free. You still run into isssues like provider versioning and terraform cli versioninig issues.  1. Terraform required providers versioning issue - (same old, same old) - where I started off using old version like 0.1.2. Then I run terraform init and terraform plan - looking good.  terraform {   required_providers {     azurerm = {       source   = " hashicorp/azurerm "       version = " ~> 3.0 "     }   } } provider "azurerm" {   features {} } resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {   name     = " rg-example "   location = " East US " } module "storage_account" {   source   = " Azure/avm-res-storage-storageaccount/azurerm "   version = " = 0.1.2 "   # Pin to exact version   # Required inputs   name           ...

Azure AKS Automatic PDB provides automatic protection for your deployments during kubernetes upgrades or evictions. It supports HPA, KEDA and straight up deployment. One significant benenift is AKS upgrade sometimes are blocked by too restrictive PDB, with this extension we would be able to manage our cluster Installing the extension az feature register --namespace Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration --name Extensions # Verify registration status az feature show --namespace Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration --name Extensions # After the feature shows "Registered", refresh the provider az provider register -n Microsoft.KubernetesConfiguration Verifying the installation  kubectl get pdb -A -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,NAMESPACE:.metadata.namespace,MIN-AVAILABLE:.spec.minAvailable,OWNER:.metadata.annotations.ownedBy | grep EvictionAutoScaler Setting up cluster wide PDB management Here we will target specific all namespaces az k8s-extension create --cluster-name <cluste...

  Reading YAML in Bash with Examples For YAML files, you'll want to use yq (the YAML equivalent of jq ).  Sample YAML File Save this as config.yaml : dev: url: http://dev.com test: url: http://test.com Using yq   Extract dev URL $ yq '.dev.url' config.yaml Output: http://dev.com Extract test URL $ yq '.test.url' config.yaml Output: http://test.com Extract both URLs $ yq '.[] | .url' config.yaml Output: http://dev.com http://test.com Store in variables $ DEV_URL=$(yq '.dev.url' config.yaml) $ TEST_URL=$(yq '.test.url' config.yaml) $ echo "Dev: $DEV_URL" $ echo "Test: $TEST_URL" Output: Dev: http://dev.com Test: http://test.com Extract both conditionally (if they exist) $ yq 'keys[] as $env | {env: $env, url: .[$env].url}' config.yaml Output: env: dev url: http://dev.com --- env: test url: http://test.com Load all environments into variables #!/bin/bash # Using yq DEV_URL=$(yq ...

jq Tutorial with Examples & Output Let me walk through this with real JSON data and actual outputs. Sample Data { "users": [ {"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "age": 28, "dept": "engineering", "salary": 95000}, {"id": 2, "name": "Bob", "age": 35, "dept": "sales", "salary": 75000}, {"id": 3, "name": "Charlie", "age": 24, "dept": "engineering", "salary": 65000}, {"id": 4, "name": "Diana", "age": 42, "dept": "management", "salary": 120000}, {"id": 5, "name": "Eve", "age": 31, "dept": "sales", "salary": 80000} ] } Basic Navigation Get the users array: $ jq '.users' data.json Output: [ {"id": 1, ...

In Azure devops, we can often write and then reference an output variable from a different stage or job.  We can references it via dependencies.job_name.outputs["step_name.variable_name"] - stage : Build     displayName : ' Build Stage '         jobs :             # JOB 2: Output Variables (sharing between jobs)       - job : Job2_OutputVariables         displayName : ' Job 2: Set Output Variables for Later Jobs '                 variables :           jobMessage : ' Hello from Job 2 '                 steps :           # Create a variable that can be used in dependent jobs           - script : |               echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=sharedOutput;isOutput=true]Hello from Job2 Outpu...
