Revamped sample to address PR comments.

Two security fixes for PR #5933:

1. Add safe_mode flag to WorkflowFactory (default True) mirroring
   AgentFactory. Gates =Env.* exposure inside DeclarativeWorkflowState
   PowerFx symbols via _safe_mode_context, so workflow YAML loaded from
   untrusted sources no longer leaks the host's full os.environ snapshot
   into PowerFx evaluation. The flag is also forwarded to the
   internally-constructed AgentFactory so inline agent definitions
   follow the same policy.

2. Pin the invoke_foundry_toolbox_mcp sample's _client_provider to the
   resolved toolbox endpoint. The bearer-authenticated httpx client is
   now only returned when MCPToolInvocation.server_url matches the
   toolbox URL case-insensitively; any other URL gets None (the default
   unauthenticated path), preventing the Foundry AAD bearer token from
   being attached to a mis-configured or injected server URL. Mirrors
   the .NET sample's httpClientProvider guard.

The sample is updated to opt in to safe_mode=False because its YAML
intentionally uses =Env.FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_* to keep configuration in env
vars under the developer's control.

-This project uses GitHub Issues to track bugs and feature requests. Please search the existing

-For help and questions about using this project, please create a GitHub issue.

-AI Support team will support Microsoft Agent Framework issues for customers under a **Unified support agreement when the issue arises from usage of Azure AI services** (Foundry Models, Foundry Agents etc.) in conjunction with the SDK. Conversely, if customer has any other / non unified support agreement and/or Agent Framework SDK is used in a way **not involving an Azure service**, it is treated as a purely open-source tool – Microsoft’s support organization will not handle it, and users should use GitHub or forums for assistance
-
-For Copilot Studio SDK implementation issues, customers should use GitHub Issues for assistance, as outlined above. Conversely, for prerequisites managed within the Copilot Studio portal, customers can rely on the standard Microsoft Copilot Studio support channels.

+This project uses GitHub Issues to track bugs and feature requests. Please search the existing 
+issues before filing new issues to avoid duplicates.  For new issues, file your bug or 
+feature request as a new Issue.
+
+For help and questions about using this project, please create a GitHub issue.
+
+AI Support team will support Microsoft Agent Framework issues for customers under a **Unified support agreement when the issue arises from usage of Azure AI services** (Foundry Models, Foundry Agents etc.) in conjunction with the SDK. Conversely, if customer has any other / non unified support agreement and/or Agent Framework SDK is used in a way **not involving an Azure service**, it is treated as a purely open-source tool – Microsoft’s support organization will not handle it, and users should use GitHub or forums for assistance
+
+For Copilot Studio SDK implementation issues, customers should use GitHub Issues for assistance, as outlined above. Conversely, for prerequisites managed within the Copilot Studio portal, customers can rely on the standard Microsoft Copilot Studio support channels.
+
+## Microsoft Support Policy

-# MCP-Based Agent Skills Sample
-
-This sample demonstrates how to discover **Agent Skills served over MCP** with a `ChatClientAgent`.
-
-## What it demonstrates
-
-- Hosting a small MCP server (in this same executable, launched with `--server`) that
-  exposes skill resources following the SEP-2640 convention.
-- Connecting an `McpClient` to the embedded server via stdio transport.
-- Building an `AgentSkillsProvider` via `UseMcpSkills(client)`, which reads
-  `skill://index.json` (SEP-2640 canonical discovery) and constructs skills from the
-  index entries.
-- The progressive disclosure pattern across MCP: advertise → load → read resources, exactly
-  as for filesystem-backed skills.
-
-## Running the Sample
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- .NET 10.0 SDK
-- Azure OpenAI endpoint with a deployed model
-
-### Setup
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/"
-$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-5.4-mini"
-```

-### Run

-# Foundry Toolbox MCP Skills
-
-This sample uses
-`AgentSkillsProviderBuilder` to discover MCP-based skills from a Foundry Toolbox endpoint
-and inject them as `AIContextProviders` so the agent can discover and use them at runtime.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Connecting to a Foundry toolbox's MCP endpoint via Streamable HTTP transport
-- Injecting a fresh Azure AI bearer token (`https://ai.azure.com/.default`) on every MCP request
-- Using `AgentSkillsProviderBuilder.UseMcpSkills(client)` to discover skills from the toolbox
-- Injecting the discovered skills into `AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(...)` via `AIContextProviders`
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- A Microsoft Foundry project with a toolbox already configured
-- The toolbox MCP endpoint must expose `skill://index.json` with `skill-md` entries (SEP-2640). If the resource is absent, the sample runs but the skills provider will be empty.
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (`az login`)
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-5.4-mini"
