Sample: Human in the loop guessing game
An agent guesses a number, then a human guides it with higher, lower, or
correct via RequestInfoExecutor. The loop continues until the human confirms
correct, at which point the workflow completes when idle with no pending work.
Purpose:
Show how to integrate a human step in the middle of an LLM workflow using RequestInfoExecutor and correlated
RequestResponse objects.
Demonstrate:
- Alternating turns between an AgentExecutor and a human, driven by events.
- Using Pydantic response_format to enforce structured JSON output from the agent instead of regex parsing.
- Driving the loop in application code with run_stream and send_responses_streaming.
Prerequisites:
- Azure OpenAI configured for AzureOpenAIChatClient with required environment variables.
- Authentication via azure-identity. Use AzureCliCredential and run az login before executing the sample.
- Basic familiarity with WorkflowBuilder, executors, edges, events, and streaming runs.
"""
# What RequestInfoExecutor does:
# RequestInfoExecutor is a workflow-native bridge that pauses the graph at a request for information,
# emits a RequestInfoEvent with a typed payload, and then resumes the graph only after your application
# supplies a matching RequestResponse keyed by the emitted request_id. It does not gather input by itself.
# Your application is responsible for collecting the human reply from any UI or CLI and then calling
# send_responses_streaming with a dict mapping request_id to the human's answer. The executor exists to
# standardize pause-and-resume human gating, to carry typed request payloads, and to preserve correlation.
# Request type sent to the RequestInfoExecutor for human feedback.
# Including the agent's last guess allows the UI or CLI to display context and helps
# the turn manager avoid extra state reads.
# Why subclass RequestInfoMessage:
# Subclassing RequestInfoMessage defines the exact schema of the request that the human will see.
# This gives you strong typing, forward-compatible validation, and clear correlation semantics.
# It also lets you attach contextual fields (such as the previous guess) so the UI can render a rich prompt
# without fetching extra state from elsewhere.
