 # GitHub Copilot Instructions
 
-Microsoft Agent Framework - a multi-language framework for building, orchestrating, and deploying AI agents.
+This repository contains both Python and C# code.
+All python code resides under the `python/` directory.
+All C# code resides under the `dotnet/` directory.
 
-## Repository Structure
+The purpose of the code is to provide a framework for building AI agents.
 
-- `python/` - Python implementation → see [python/AGENTS.md](../python/AGENTS.md)
-- `dotnet/` - C#/.NET implementation → see [dotnet/AGENTS.md](../dotnet/AGENTS.md)
-- `docs/` - Design documents and architectural decision records
+When contributing to this repository, please follow these guidelines:
 
-## Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)
+## C# Code Guidelines
 
-ADRs in `docs/decisions/` capture significant design decisions and their rationale. They document considered alternatives, trade-offs, and the reasoning behind choices.
+Here are some general guidelines that apply to all code.
 
-**Templates:**
-- `adr-template.md` - Full template with detailed sections
-- `adr-short-template.md` - Abbreviated template for simpler decisions
+- The top of all *.cs files should have a copyright notice: `// Copyright (c) Microsoft. All rights reserved.`
+- All public methods and classes should have XML documentation comments.
 
-When proposing architectural changes, create an ADR to capture options considered and the decision rationale. See [docs/decisions/README.md](../docs/decisions/README.md) for the full process.
+### C# Sample Code Guidelines
+
+Sample code is located in the `dotnet/samples` directory.
+
+When adding a new sample, follow these steps:
+
+- The sample should be a standalone .net project in one of the subdirectories of the samples directory.
+- The directory name should be the same as the project name.
+- The directory should contain a README.md file that explains what the sample does and how to run it.
+- The README.md file should follow the same format as other samples.
+- The csproj file should match the directory name.
+- The csproj file should be configured in the same way as other samples.
+- The project should preferably contain a single Program.cs file that contains all the sample code.
+- The sample should be added to the solution file in the samples directory.
+- The sample should be tested to ensure it works as expected.
+- A reference to the new samples should be added to the README.md file in the parent directory of the new sample.
+
+The sample code should follow these guidelines:
+
+- Configuration settings should be read from environment variables, e.g. `var endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT") ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT is not set.");`.
+- Environment variables should use upper snake_case naming convention.
+- Secrets should not be hardcoded in the code or committed to the repository.
+- The code should be well-documented with comments explaining the purpose of each step.
+- The code should be simple and to the point, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
+- Prefer inline literals over constants for values that are not reused. For example, use `new ChatClientAgent(chatClient, instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.")` instead of defining a constant for "instructions".
+- Ensure that all private classes are sealed
+- Use the Async suffix on the name of all async methods that return a Task or ValueTask.
+- Prefer defining variables using types rather than var, to help users understand the types involved.
+- Follow the patterns in the samples in the same directories where new samples are being added.
+- The structure of the sample should be as follows:
+  - The top of the Program.cs should have a copyright notice: `// Copyright (c) Microsoft. All rights reserved.`
+  - Then add a comment describing what the sample is demonstrating.
+  - Then add the necessary using statements.
+  - Then add the main code logic.
+  - Finally, add any helper methods or classes at the bottom of the file.
+
+### C# Unit Test Guidelines
+
+Unit tests are located in the `dotnet/tests` directory in projects with a `.UnitTests.csproj` suffix.
+
+Unit tests should follow these guidelines:
+
+- Use `this.` for accessing class members
+- Add Arrange, Act and Assert comments for each test
+- Ensure that all private classes, that are not subclassed, are sealed
+- Use the Async suffix on the name of all async methods
+- Use the Moq library for mocking objects where possible
+- Validate that each test actually tests the target behavior, e.g. we should not have tests that creates a mock, calls the mock and then verifies that the mock was called, without the target code being involved. We also shouldn't have tests that test language features, e.g. something that the compiler would catch anyway.
+- Avoid adding excessive comments to tests. Instead favour clear easy to understand code.
+- Follow the patterns in the unit tests in the same project or classes to which new tests are being added

-- New PRs should be added to the top of the `CHANGELOG.md` file under a "## [Unreleased]" heading.
-- If the PR is the first since the last release, the existing "## [Unreleased]" heading should be replaced with a "## v[X.Y.Z]" heading and the PRs since the last release should be added to the new "## [Unreleased]" heading.
-- The style of new `CHANGELOG.md` entries should match the style of the other entries in the file.
-- If the PR introduces a breaking change, the changelog entry should be prefixed with "[BREAKING]".

----
-name: pull-requests
-description: >
-  Guidance for creating pull requests and handling PR review comments in the
-  Agent Framework repository. Use this when writing a PR description (filling out
-  the PR template) or when responding to and resolving review comments on an
-  existing PR.
----
-
-# Pull Request Workflow
-
-This skill covers two tasks: (1) writing a high-quality PR description, and
-(2) handling review comments on an existing PR.
-
-## 1. Writing the PR description
-
-Always follow the repository PR template at
-[`.github/pull_request_template.md`](../../pull_request_template.md). Keep its
-exact structure and headings. Fill every section:
-
-### `### Motivation & Context`
-Explain *why* the change is needed: the problem it solves and the scenario it
-contributes to. Describe the net change relative to `main` — this is implied, so
-do **not** spell out "vs main" explicitly.
-
-### `### Description & Review Guide`
-Describe the changes, the overall approach, and the design. Answer the three
-prompts:
-- **What are the major changes?**
-- **What is the impact of these changes?**
-- **What do you want reviewers to focus on?** — This item is for **human
-  reviewers only**. Automated/AI reviewers must ignore it and review the entire
-  change rather than narrowing scope to it.
-
-### `### Related Issue`
-Link the issue the PR fixes using a GitHub closing keyword (`Fixes #123` /
-`Closes #123`) so it closes automatically on merge. A PR with no linked issue may
-be closed regardless of how valid the change is. Before opening, confirm there is
-no other open PR for the same issue; if there is, explain how this PR differs.
-
-### `### Contribution Checklist`
-Check every item that applies. For the breaking-change item:
-- Leave **"This is not a breaking change."** checked for the common case.
-- If the change **is** breaking, add the `breaking change` label **or** put
-  `[BREAKING]` in the title prefix, before or after a language prefix such as
-  `Python:` or `.NET:` — workflows keep the label and the title prefix in sync
-  automatically (see `.github/workflows/label-title-prefix.yml` and
-  `.github/workflows/label-pr.yml`).
-
-### Do not
-- Do **not** add ad-hoc sections such as "Validation" or "Tests run"; CI/CD and
-  the checklist already cover validation status.
-- Do **not** remove or reorder the template's headings.
-
-### Creating the PR
-Open new PRs as **drafts** until they are ready for review. Example:
-
-```bash
-gh pr create --repo microsoft/agent-framework --base main \
-  --head <your-fork-owner>:<branch> --draft \
-  --title "<concise title>" --body "<body following the template>"
-```
-
-## 2. Handling review comments
-
-When a PR receives review comments, follow this sequence — **do not start editing
-code before the user has reviewed the plan**:
-
-1. **Review the comments.** Read every review comment and thread on the PR,
-   including inline code comments and general review summaries.
-2. **Make a plan.** Produce a concrete plan describing how each comment will be
-   addressed (or why it should not be, with reasoning).
-3. **Let the user review the plan.** Present the plan and wait for the user's
-   approval or adjustments before implementing anything.
-4. **Implement.** Make the agreed changes.
-5. **Reply to every comment.** Add a reply to **all** comments explaining how it
-   was addressed (or the agreed outcome) — leave none unanswered.
-6. **Resolve resolved threads.** Mark a review thread as resolved only when the
-   comment has actually been addressed.
-
-### Useful commands
-
-List review comments and threads:
-
-```bash
-# Inline review comments
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments
-
-# Review threads with resolution state (GraphQL)
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  query($owner:String!,$repo:String!,$pr:Int!){
-    repository(owner:$owner,name:$repo){
-      pullRequest(number:$pr){
-        reviewThreads(first:100){
-          nodes{ id isResolved comments(first:50){ nodes{ id body author{login} } } }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }' -F owner={owner} -F repo={repo} -F pr={pr}
-```
-
-Reply to an inline review comment:
-
-```bash
-gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pr}/comments/{comment_id}/replies \
-  -f body="Addressed in <commit>: <explanation>"
-```
-
-Resolve a review thread (needs the thread node id from the GraphQL query above):
-
-```bash
-gh api graphql -f query='
-  mutation($threadId:ID!){
-    resolveReviewThread(input:{threadId:$threadId}){ thread{ isResolved } }
-  }' -F threadId={thread_id}
-```

-          ### Motivation and Context
-
-          This automated update refreshes Python dev dependency pins across the workspace and reruns the repo validation gates before opening a pull request.
-
-          ### Description
-
-          - Ran `uv run poe upgrade-dev-dependencies`
-          - Refreshed dev dependency pins in workspace `pyproject.toml` files
-          - Refreshed `python/uv.lock` with `uv lock --upgrade`
-          - Reinstalled from the frozen lockfile and reran `check`, `typing`, and `test`
-
-          ### Contribution Checklist
-
-          - [x] The code builds clean without any errors or warnings
-          - [x] The PR follows the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

 that include breaking changes will be rejected. Please file an issue to discuss
 your idea or change if you believe that a breaking change is warranted.
 
-#### Automated API Compatibility Validation
-
-The .NET projects use [Package Validation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/package-validation/overview)
-to automatically detect API breaking changes. This validation runs during `dotnet build`
-(Release configuration) and `dotnet pack`, comparing the current API surface against the
-latest published NuGet baseline version.
-
-**What gets validated:** By default, packable RC packages (`IsReleaseCandidate=true`) and
-GA packages (`IsGenerallyAvailable=true`) that have a published NuGet baseline and do not
-override validation settings are automatically validated. The shared baseline version and
-default validation settings are defined in `dotnet/nuget/nuget-package.props`, but
-individual projects may opt out (for example by setting `EnablePackageValidation=false`).
-
-**If the build fails with CP errors (e.g., CP0001, CP0002):**
-
-1. **Unintentional breaking change** — Refactor your code to maintain backward compatibility.
-2. **Intentional breaking change** (approved by maintainers) — Generate a suppression file:
-   ```bash
-   dotnet build <project>.csproj -c Release /p:ApiCompatGenerateSuppressionFile=true
-   ```
-   This creates or updates a `CompatibilitySuppressions.xml` in the project directory.
-   Include this file in your PR with justification for the breaking change.
-
-**After each release:**
-
-1. Delete all `CompatibilitySuppressions.xml` files from validated projects.
-2. Update `PackageValidationBaselineVersion` in `dotnet/nuget/nuget-package.props` to the
-   newly published version.
-
-For more details, see the [Package Validation diagnostic IDs](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/package-validation/diagnostic-ids).

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Authentication
-
-| Problem | Cause | Fix |
-|---------|-------|-----|
-| Authentication errors when using Azure credentials | Not signed in to Azure CLI | Run `az login` before starting your app |
-| API key errors | Wrong or missing API key | Verify the key and ensure it's for the correct resource/provider |
-
-> **Tip:** `DefaultAzureCredential` is convenient for development but in production, consider using a specific credential (e.g., `ManagedIdentityCredential`) to avoid latency issues, unintended credential probing, and potential security risks from fallback mechanisms.

 - **Privacy and Data Protection**: The framework allows for human participation in conversations between agents. It is important to ensure that user data and conversations are protected and that developers use appropriate measures to safeguard privacy.
 - **Accountability and Transparency**: The framework involves multiple agents conversing and collaborating, it is important to establish clear accountability and transparency mechanisms. Users should be able to understand and trace the decision-making process of the agents involved in order to ensure accountability and address any potential issues or biases.
 - **Security & unintended consequences**: The use of multi-agent conversations and automation in complex tasks may have unintended consequences. Especially, allowing agents to make changes in external environments through tool calls or function execution could pose significant risks. Developers should carefully consider the potential risks and ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent harm or negative outcomes, including keeping a human in the loop for decision making.

-# Declarative Workflows
-
-A _Declarative Workflow_ is defined as a single YAML file and
-may be executed locally no different from any regular `Workflow` that is defined by code.
-
-The difference is that the workflow definition is loaded from a YAML file instead of being defined in code:
-
-```c#
-Workflow workflow = DeclarativeWorkflowBuilder.Build("Marketing.yaml", options);
-```
-
-These example workflows may be executed by the workflow
-[Samples](../../dotnet/samples/03-workflows/Declarative)
-that are present in this repository.
-
-> See the [README.md](../../dotnet/samples/03-workflows/Declarative/README.md) 
- associated with the samples for configuration details.

 Run returns a new response type that has separate properties for the Primary Content and the Secondary Updates leading up to it.
-The Primary content is available in the `AgentResponse.Messages` property while Secondary updates are in a new `AgentResponse.Updates` property.
-`AgentResponse.Text` returns the Primary content text.

-# Create/Get Agent API
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-There is a misalignment between the create/get agent API in the .NET and Python implementations.
-
-In .NET, the `CreateAIAgent` method can create either a local instance of an agent or a remote instance if the backend provider supports it. For remote agents, once the agent is created, you can retrieve an existing remote agent by using the `GetAIAgent` method. If a backend provider doesn't support remote agents, `CreateAIAgent` just initializes a new local agent instance and `GetAIAgent` is not available. There is also a `BuildAIAgent` method, which is an extension for the `ChatClientBuilder` class from `Microsoft.Extensions.AI`. It builds pipelines of `IChatClient` instances with an `IServiceProvider`. This functionality does not exist in Python, so `BuildAIAgent` is out of scope.
-
-In Python, there is only one `create_agent` method, which always creates a local instance of the agent. If the backend provider supports remote agents, the remote agent is created only on the first `agent.run()` invocation.
-
-Below is a short summary of different providers and their APIs in .NET:
-
-| Package | Method | Behavior | Python support |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI | `CreateAIAgent` (based on `IChatClient`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Yes (`create_agent` in `BaseChatClient`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.Anthropic | `CreateAIAgent` (based on `IBetaService` and `IAnthropicClient`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Yes (`AnthropicClient` inherits `BaseChatClient`, which exposes `create_agent`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI (V2) | `GetAIAgent` (based on `AIProjectClient` with `AgentReference`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Partial (Python uses `create_agent` from `BaseChatClient`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI (V2) | `GetAIAgent`/`GetAIAgentAsync` (with `Name`/`ChatClientAgentOptions`) | Fetches `AgentRecord` via HTTP, then creates a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI (V2) | `CreateAIAgent`/`CreateAIAgentAsync` (based on `AIProjectClient`) | Creates a remote agent first, then wraps it into a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI.Persistent (V1) | `GetAIAgent` (based on `PersistentAgentsClient` with `PersistentAgent`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Partial (Python uses `create_agent` from `BaseChatClient`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI.Persistent (V1) | `GetAIAgent`/`GetAIAgentAsync` (with `AgentId`) | Fetches `PersistentAgent` via HTTP, then creates a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI.Persistent (V1) | `CreateAIAgent`/`CreateAIAgentAsync` | Creates a remote agent first, then wraps it into a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI | `GetAIAgent` (based on `AssistantClient` with `Assistant`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Partial (Python uses `create_agent` from `BaseChatClient`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI | `GetAIAgent`/`GetAIAgentAsync` (with `AgentId`) | Fetches `Assistant` via HTTP, then creates a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI | `CreateAIAgent`/`CreateAIAgentAsync` (based on `AssistantClient`) | Creates a remote agent first, then wraps it into a local `ChatClientAgent` instance. | No |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI | `CreateAIAgent` (based on `ChatClient`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Yes (`create_agent` in `BaseChatClient`). |
-| Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI | `CreateAIAgent` (based on `OpenAIResponseClient`) | Creates a local instance of `ChatClientAgent`. | Yes (`create_agent` in `BaseChatClient`). |
-
-Another difference between Python and .NET implementation is that in .NET `CreateAIAgent`/`GetAIAgent` methods are implemented as extension methods based on underlying SDK client, like `AIProjectClient` from Azure AI or `AssistantClient` from OpenAI:
-
-```csharp
-// Definition
-public static ChatClientAgent CreateAIAgent(
-    this AIProjectClient aiProjectClient,
-    string name,
-    string model,
-    string instructions,
-    string? description = null,
-    IList<AITool>? tools = null,
-    Func<IChatClient, IChatClient>? clientFactory = null,
-    IServiceProvider? services = null,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-{ }
-
-// Usage
-AIProjectClient aiProjectClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential()); // Initialization of underlying SDK client
-
-var newAgent = await aiProjectClient.CreateAIAgentAsync(name: AgentName, model: deploymentName, instructions: AgentInstructions, tools: [tool]); // ChatClientAgent creation from underlying SDK client
-
-// Alternative usage (same as extension method, just explicit syntax)
-var newAgent = await AzureAIProjectChatClientExtensions.CreateAIAgentAsync(
-    aiProjectClient,
-    name: AgentName,
-    model: deploymentName,
-    instructions: AgentInstructions,
-    tools: [tool]);
-```
-
-Python doesn't support extension methods. Currently `create_agent` method is defined on `BaseChatClient`, but this method only creates a local instance of `ChatAgent` and it can't create remote agents for providers that support it for a couple of reasons:
-
-- It's defined as non-async.
-- `BaseChatClient` implementation is stateful for providers like Azure AI or OpenAI Assistants. The implementation stores agent/assistant metadata like `AgentId` and `AgentName`, so currently it's not possible to create different instances of `ChatAgent` from a single `BaseChatClient` in case if the implementation is stateful.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- API should be aligned between .NET and Python.
-- API should be intuitive and consistent between backend providers in .NET and Python.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-Add missing implementations on the Python side. This should include the following:
-
-### agent-framework-azure-ai (both V1 and V2)
-
-- Add a `get_agent` method that accepts an underlying SDK agent instance and creates a local instance of `ChatAgent`.
-- Add a `get_agent` method that accepts an agent identifier, performs an additional HTTP request to fetch agent data, and then creates a local instance of `ChatAgent`.
-- Override the `create_agent` method from `BaseChatClient` to create a remote agent instance and wrap it into a local `ChatAgent`.
-
-.NET:
-
-```csharp
-var agent1 = new AIProjectClient(...).GetAIAgent(agentInstanceFromSdkType); // Creates a local ChatClientAgent instance from Azure.AI.Projects.OpenAI.AgentReference 
-var agent2 = new AIProjectClient(...).GetAIAgent(agentName); // Fetches agent data, creates a local ChatClientAgent instance
-var agent3 = new AIProjectClient(...).CreateAIAgent(...); // Creates a remote agent, returns a local ChatClientAgent instance
-```
-
-### agent-framework-core (OpenAI Assistants)
-
-- Add a `get_agent` method that accepts an underlying SDK agent instance and creates a local instance of `ChatAgent`.
-- Add a `get_agent` method that accepts an agent name, performs an additional HTTP request to fetch agent data, and then creates a local instance of `ChatAgent`.
-- Override the `create_agent` method from `BaseChatClient` to create a remote agent instance and wrap it into a local `ChatAgent`.
-
-.NET:
-
-```csharp
-var agent1 = new AssistantClient(...).GetAIAgent(agentInstanceFromSdkType); // Creates a local ChatClientAgent instance from OpenAI.Assistants.Assistant
-var agent2 = new AssistantClient(...).GetAIAgent(agentId); // Fetches agent data, creates a local ChatClientAgent instance
-var agent3 = new AssistantClient(...).CreateAIAgent(...); // Creates a remote agent, returns a local ChatClientAgent instance
-```
-
-### Possible Python implementations
-
-Methods like `create_agent` and `get_agent` should be implemented separately or defined on some stateless component that will allow to create multiple agents from the same instance/place.
-
-Possible options:
-
-#### Option 1: Module-level functions
-
-Implement free functions in the provider package that accept the underlying SDK client as the first argument (similar to .NET extension methods, but expressed in Python).
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import create_agent, get_agent
-
-ai_project_client = AIProjectClient(...)
-
-# Creates a remote agent first, then returns a local ChatAgent wrapper
-created_agent = await create_agent(
-    ai_project_client,
-    name="",
-    instructions="",
-    tools=[tool],
-)
-
-# Gets an existing remote agent and returns a local ChatAgent wrapper
-first_agent = await get_agent(ai_project_client, agent_id=agent_id)
-
-# Wraps an SDK agent instance (no extra HTTP call)
-second_agent = get_agent(ai_project_client, agent_reference)
-```
-
-Pros:
-
-- Naturally supports async `create_agent` / `get_agent`.
-- Supports multiple agents per SDK client.
-- Closest conceptual match to .NET extension methods while staying Pythonic.
-
-Cons:
-
-- Discoverability is lower (users need to know where the functions live).
-- Verbose when creating multiple agents (client must be passed every time):
-
-  ```python
-  agent1 = await azure_agents.create_agent(client, name="Agent1", ...)
-  agent2 = await azure_agents.create_agent(client, name="Agent2", ...)
-  ```
-
-#### Option 2: Provider object
-
-Introduce a dedicated provider type that is constructed from the underlying SDK client, and exposes async `create_agent` / `get_agent` methods.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import AzureAIAgentProvider
-
-ai_project_client = AIProjectClient(...)
-provider = AzureAIAgentProvider(ai_project_client)
-
-agent = await provider.create_agent(
-    name="",
-    instructions="",
-    tools=[tool],
-)
-
-agent = await provider.get_agent(agent_id=agent_id)
-agent = provider.get_agent(agent_reference=agent_reference)
-```
-
-Pros:
-
-- High discoverability and clear grouping of related behavior.
-- Keeps SDK clients unchanged and supports multiple agents per SDK client.
-- Concise when creating multiple agents (client passed once):
-
-  ```python
-  provider = AzureAIAgentProvider(ai_project_client)
-  agent1 = await provider.create_agent(name="Agent1", ...)
-  agent2 = await provider.create_agent(name="Agent2", ...)
-  ```
-
-Cons:
-
-- Adds a new public concept/type for users to learn.
-
-#### Option 3: Inheritance (SDK client subclass)
-
-Create a subclass of the underlying SDK client and add `create_agent` / `get_agent` methods.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-class ExtendedAIProjectClient(AIProjectClient):
-    async def create_agent(self, *, name: str, model: str, instructions: str, **kwargs) -> ChatAgent:
-        ...
-
-    async def get_agent(self, *, agent_id: str | None = None, sdk_agent=None, **kwargs) -> ChatAgent:
-        ...
-
-client = ExtendedAIProjectClient(...)
-agent = await client.create_agent(name="", instructions="")
-```
-
-Pros:
-
-- Discoverable and ergonomic call sites.
-- Mirrors the .NET “methods on the client” feeling.
-
-Cons:
-
-- Many SDK clients are not designed for inheritance; SDK upgrades can break subclasses.
-- Users must opt into subclass everywhere.
-- Typing/initialization can be tricky if the SDK client has non-trivial constructors.
-
-#### Option 4: Monkey patching
-
-Attach `create_agent` / `get_agent` methods to an SDK client class (or instance) at runtime.
-
-Example:
-
-```python
-def _create_agent(self, *, name: str, model: str, instructions: str, **kwargs) -> ChatAgent:
-    ...
-
-AIProjectClient.create_agent = _create_agent  # monkey patch
-```
-
-Pros:
-
-- Produces “extension method-like” call sites without wrappers or subclasses.
-
-Cons:
-
-- Fragile across SDK updates and difficult to type-check.
-- Surprising behavior (global side effects), potential conflicts across packages.
-- Harder to support/debug, especially in larger apps and test suites.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Implement `create_agent`/`get_agent`/`as_agent` API via **Option 2: Provider object**.
-
-### Rationale
-
-| Aspect | Option 1 (Functions) | Option 2 (Provider) |
-|--------|----------------------|---------------------|
-| Multiple implementations | One package may contain V1, V2, and other agent types. Function names like `create_agent` become ambiguous - which agent type does it create? | Each provider class is explicit: `AzureAIAgentsProvider` vs `AzureAIProjectAgentProvider` |
-| Discoverability | Users must know to import specific functions from the package | IDE autocomplete on provider instance shows all available methods |
-| Client reuse | SDK client must be passed to every function call: `create_agent(client, ...)`, `get_agent(client, ...)` | SDK client passed once at construction: `provider = Provider(client)` |
-
-**Option 1 example:**
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import create_agent, get_agent
-agent1 = await create_agent(client, name="Agent1", ...)  # Which agent type, V1 or V2?
-agent2 = await create_agent(client, name="Agent2", ...)  # Repetitive client passing
-```
-
-**Option 2 example:**
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import AzureAIProjectAgentProvider
-provider = AzureAIProjectAgentProvider(client)  # Clear which service, client passed once
-agent1 = await provider.create_agent(name="Agent1", ...)
-agent2 = await provider.create_agent(name="Agent2", ...)
-```
-
-### Method Naming
-
-| Operation | Python | .NET | Async |
-|-----------|--------|------|-------|
-| Create on service | `create_agent()` | `CreateAIAgent()` | Yes |
-| Get from service | `get_agent(id=...)` | `GetAIAgent(agentId)` | Yes |
-| Wrap SDK object | `as_agent(reference)` | `AsAIAgent(agentInstance)` | No |
-
-The method names (`create_agent`, `get_agent`) do not explicitly mention "service" or "remote" because:
-- In Python, the provider class name explicitly identifies the service (`AzureAIAgentsProvider`, `OpenAIAssistantProvider`), making additional qualifiers in method names redundant.
-- In .NET, these are extension methods on `AIProjectClient` or `AssistantClient`, which already imply service operations.
-
-### Provider Class Naming
-
-| Package | Provider Class | SDK Client | Service |
-|---------|---------------|------------|---------|
-| `agent_framework.azure` | `AzureAIProjectAgentProvider` | `AIProjectClient` | Azure AI Agent Service, based on Responses API (V2) |
-| `agent_framework.azure` | `AzureAIAgentsProvider` | `AgentsClient` | Azure AI Agent Service (V1) |
-| `agent_framework.openai` | `OpenAIAssistantProvider` | `AsyncOpenAI` | OpenAI Assistants API |
-
-> **Note:** Azure AI naming is temporary. Final naming will be updated according to Azure AI / Microsoft Foundry renaming decisions.
-
-### Usage Examples
-
-#### Azure AI Agent Service V2 (based on Responses API)
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import AzureAIProjectAgentProvider
-from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient
-
-client = AIProjectClient(endpoint, credential)
-provider = AzureAIProjectAgentProvider(client)
-
-# Create new agent on service
-agent = await provider.create_agent(name="MyAgent", model="gpt-4", instructions="...")
-
-# Get existing agent by name
-agent = await provider.get_agent(agent_name="MyAgent")
-
-# Wrap already-fetched SDK object (no HTTP calls)
-agent_ref = await client.agents.get("MyAgent")
-agent = provider.as_agent(agent_ref)
-```
-
-#### Azure AI Persistent Agents V1
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.azure import AzureAIAgentsProvider
-from azure.ai.agents import AgentsClient
-
-client = AgentsClient(endpoint, credential)
-provider = AzureAIAgentsProvider(client)
-
-agent = await provider.create_agent(name="MyAgent", model="gpt-4", instructions="...")
-agent = await provider.get_agent(agent_id="persistent-agent-456")
-agent = provider.as_agent(persistent_agent)
-```
-
-#### OpenAI Assistants
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIAssistantProvider
-from openai import OpenAI
-
-client = OpenAI()
-provider = OpenAIAssistantProvider(client)
-
-agent = await provider.create_agent(name="MyAssistant", model="gpt-4", instructions="...")
-agent = await provider.get_agent(assistant_id="asst_123")
-agent = provider.as_agent(assistant)
-```
-
-#### Local-Only Agents (No Provider)
-
-Current method `create_agent` (python) / `CreateAIAgent` (.NET) can be renamed to `as_agent` (python) / `AsAIAgent` (.NET) to emphasize the conversion logic rather than creation/initialization logic and to avoid collision with `create_agent` method for remote calls.
-
-```python
-from agent_framework import ChatAgent
-from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
-
-# Convert chat client to ChatAgent (no remote service involved)
-client = OpenAIChatClient(model="gpt-4")
-agent = client.as_agent(name="LocalAgent", instructions="...") # instead of create_agent
-```
-
-### Adding New Agent Types
-
-Python:
-
-1. Create provider class in appropriate package.
-2. Implement `create_agent`, `get_agent`, `as_agent` as applicable.
-
-.NET:
-
-1. Create static class for extension methods.
-2. Implement `CreateAIAgentAsync`, `GetAIAgentAsync`, `AsAIAgent` as applicable.

-# Leveraging TypedDict and Generic Options in Python Chat Clients
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-The Agent Framework Python SDK provides multiple chat client implementations for different providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure AI, Bedrock, Ollama, etc.). Each provider has unique configuration options beyond the common parameters defined in `ChatOptions`. Currently, developers using these clients lack type safety and IDE autocompletion for provider-specific options, leading to runtime errors and a poor developer experience.
-
-How can we provide type-safe, discoverable options for each chat client while maintaining a consistent API across all implementations?
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- **Type Safety**: Developers should get compile-time/static analysis errors when using invalid options
-- **IDE Support**: Full autocompletion and inline documentation for all available options
-- **Extensibility**: Users should be able to define custom options that extend provider-specific options
-- **Consistency**: All chat clients should follow the same pattern for options handling
-- **Provider Flexibility**: Each provider can expose its unique options without affecting the common interface
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- **Option 1: Status Quo - Class `ChatOptions` with `**kwargs`**
-- **Option 2: TypedDict with Generic Type Parameters**
-
-### Option 1: Status Quo - Class `ChatOptions` with `**kwargs`
-
-The current approach uses a base `ChatOptions` Class with common parameters, and provider-specific options are passed via `**kwargs` or loosely typed dictionaries.
-
-```python
-# Current usage - no type safety for provider-specific options
-response = await client.get_response(
-    messages=messages,
-    temperature=0.7,
-    top_k=40,
-    random=42, # No validation
-)
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Simple implementation
-- Maximum flexibility
-
-**Cons:**
-- No type checking for provider-specific options
-- No IDE autocompletion for available options
-- Runtime errors for typos or invalid options
-- Documentation must be consulted for each provider
-
-### Option 2: TypedDict with Generic Type Parameters (Chosen)
-
-Each chat client is parameterized with a TypeVar bound to a provider-specific `TypedDict` that extends `ChatOptions`. This enables full type safety and IDE support.
-
-```python
-# Provider-specific TypedDict
-class AnthropicChatOptions(ChatOptions, total=False):
-    """Anthropic-specific chat options."""
-    top_k: int
-    thinking: ThinkingConfig
-    # ... other Anthropic-specific options
-
-# Generic chat client
-class AnthropicChatClient(ChatClientBase[TAnthropicChatOptions]):
-    ...
-
-client = AnthropicChatClient(...)
-
-# Usage with full type safety
-response = await client.get_response(
-    messages=messages,
-    options={
-        "temperature": 0.7,
-        "top_k": 40,
-        "random": 42,  # fails type checking and IDE would flag this
-    }
-)
-
-# Users can extend for custom options
-class MyAnthropicOptions(AnthropicChatOptions, total=False):
-    custom_field: str
-
-
-client = AnthropicChatClient[MyAnthropicOptions](...)
-
-# Usage of custom options with full type safety
-response = await client.get_response(
-    messages=messages,
-    options={
-        "temperature": 0.7,
-        "top_k": 40,
-        "custom_field": "value",
-    }
-)
-
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Full type safety with static analysis
-- IDE autocompletion for all options
-- Compile-time error detection
-- Self-documenting through type hints
-- Users can extend options for their specific needs or advances in models
-
-**Cons:**
-- More complex implementation
-- Some type: ignore comments needed for TypedDict field overrides
-- Minor: Requires TypeVar with default (Python 3.13+ or typing_extensions)
-
-> [NOTE!]
-> In .NET this is already achieved through overloads on the `GetResponseAsync` method for each provider-specific options class, e.g., `AnthropicChatOptions`, `OpenAIChatOptions`, etc. So this does not apply to .NET.
-
-### Implementation Details
-
-1. **Base Protocol**: `ChatClientProtocol[TOptions]` is generic over options type, with default set to `ChatOptions` (the new TypedDict)
-2. **Provider TypedDicts**: Each provider defines its options extending `ChatOptions`
-    They can even override fields with type=None to indicate they are not supported.
-3. **TypeVar Pattern**: `TProviderOptions = TypeVar("TProviderOptions", bound=TypedDict, default=ProviderChatOptions, contravariant=True)`
-4. **Option Translation**: Common options are kept in place,and explicitly documented in the Options class how they are used. (e.g., `user` → `metadata.user_id`) in `_prepare_options` (for Anthropic) to preserve easy use of common options.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option: **"Option 2: TypedDict with Generic Type Parameters"**, because it provides full type safety, excellent IDE support with autocompletion, and allows users to extend provider-specific options for their use cases. Extended this Generic to ChatAgents in order to also properly type the options used in agent construction and run methods.
-
-See [typed_options.py](../../python/samples/02-agents/typed_options.py) for a complete example demonstrating the usage of typed options with custom extensions.

-# Simplify Python Get Response API into a single method
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Currently chat clients must implement two separate methods to get responses, one for streaming and one for non-streaming. This adds complexity to the client implementations and increases the maintenance burden. This was likely done because the .NET version cannot do proper typing with a single method, in Python this is possible and this for instance is also how the OpenAI python client works, this would then also make it simpler to work with the Python version because there is only one method to learn about instead of two.
-
-## Implications of this change
-
-### Current Architecture Overview
-
-The current design has **two separate methods** at each layer:
-
-| Layer | Non-streaming | Streaming |
-|-------|---------------|-----------|
-| **Protocol** | `get_response()` → `ChatResponse` | `get_streaming_response()` → `AsyncIterable[ChatResponseUpdate]` |
-| **BaseChatClient** | `get_response()` (public) | `get_streaming_response()` (public) |
-| **Implementation** | `_inner_get_response()` (private) | `_inner_get_streaming_response()` (private) |
-
-### Key Usage Areas Identified
-
-#### 1. **ChatAgent** (_agents.py)
-- `run()` → calls `self.chat_client.get_response()`
-- `run_stream()` → calls `self.chat_client.get_streaming_response()`
-
-These are parallel methods on the agent, so consolidating the client methods would **not break** the agent API. You could keep `agent.run()` and `agent.run_stream()` unchanged while internally calling `get_response(stream=True/False)`.
-
-#### 2. **Function Invocation Decorator** (_tools.py)
-This is **the most impacted area**. Currently:
-- `_handle_function_calls_response()` decorates `get_response`
-- `_handle_function_calls_streaming_response()` decorates `get_streaming_response`
-- The `use_function_invocation` class decorator wraps **both methods separately**
-
-**Impact**: The decorator logic is almost identical (~200 lines each) with small differences:
-- Non-streaming collects response, returns it
-- Streaming yields updates, returns async iterable
-
-With a unified method, you'd need **one decorator** that:
-- Checks the `stream` parameter
-- Uses `@overload` to determine return type
-- Handles both paths with conditional logic
-- The new decorator could be applied just on the method, instead of the whole class.
-
-This would **reduce code duplication** but add complexity to a single function.
-
-#### 3. **Observability/Instrumentation** (observability.py)
-Same pattern as function invocation:
-- `_trace_get_response()` wraps `get_response`
-- `_trace_get_streaming_response()` wraps `get_streaming_response`
-- `use_instrumentation` decorator applies both
-
-**Impact**: Would need consolidation into a single tracing wrapper.
-
-#### 4. **Chat Middleware** (_middleware.py)
-The `use_chat_middleware` decorator also wraps both methods separately with similar logic.
-
-#### 5. **AG-UI Client** (_client.py)
-Wraps both methods to unwrap server function calls:
-```python
-original_get_streaming_response = chat_client.get_streaming_response
-original_get_response = chat_client.get_response
-```
-
-#### 6. **Provider Implementations** (all subpackages)
-All subclasses implement both `_inner_*` methods, except:
-- OpenAI Assistants Client (and similar clients, such as Foundry Agents V1) - it implements `_inner_get_response` by calling `_inner_get_streaming_response`
-
-### Implications of Consolidation
-
-| Aspect | Impact |
-|--------|--------|
-| **Type Safety** | Overloads work well: `@overload` with `Literal[True]` → `AsyncIterable`, `Literal[False]` → `ChatResponse`. Runtime return type based on `stream` param. |
-| **Breaking Change** | **Major breaking change** for anyone implementing custom chat clients. They'd need to update from 2 methods to 1 (or 2 inner methods to 1). |
-| **Decorator Complexity** | All 3 decorator systems (function invocation, middleware, observability) would need refactoring to handle both paths in one wrapper. |
-| **Code Reduction** | Significant reduction in _tools.py (~200 lines of near-duplicate code) and other decorators. |
-| **Samples/Tests** | Many samples call `get_streaming_response()` directly - would need updates. |
-| **Protocol Simplification** | `ChatClientProtocol` goes from 2 methods + 1 property to 1 method + 1 property. |
-
-### Recommendation
-
-The consolidation makes sense architecturally, but consider:
-
-1. **The overload pattern with `stream: bool`** works well in Python typing:
-   ```python
-   @overload
-   async def get_response(self, messages, *, stream: Literal[True] = True, ...) -> AsyncIterable[ChatResponseUpdate]: ...
-   @overload
-   async def get_response(self, messages, *, stream: Literal[False] = False, ...) -> ChatResponse: ...
-   ```
-
-2. **The decorator complexity** is the biggest concern. The current approach of separate decorators for separate methods is cleaner than conditional logic inside one wrapper.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Reduce code needed to implement a Chat Client, simplify the public API for chat clients
-- Reduce code duplication in decorators and middleware
-- Maintain type safety and clarity in method signatures
-
-## Considered Options
-
-1. Status quo: Keep separate methods for streaming and non-streaming
-2. Consolidate into a single `get_response` method with a `stream` parameter
-3. Option 2 plus merging `agent.run` and `agent.run_stream` into a single method with a `stream` parameter as well
-
-## Option 1: Status Quo
-- Good: Clear separation of streaming vs non-streaming logic
-- Good: Aligned with .NET design, although it is already `run` for Python and `RunAsync` for .NET
-- Bad: Code duplication in decorators and middleware
-- Bad: More complex client implementations
-
-## Option 2: Consolidate into Single Method
-- Good: Simplified public API for chat clients
-- Good: Reduced code duplication in decorators
-- Good: Smaller API footprint for users to get familiar with
-- Good: People using OpenAI directly already expect this pattern
-- Bad: Increased complexity in decorators and middleware
-- Bad: Less alignment with .NET design (`get_response(stream=True)` vs `GetStreamingResponseAsync`)
-
-## Option 3: Consolidate + Merge Agent and Workflow Methods
-- Good: Further simplifies agent and workflow implementation
-- Good: Single method for all chat interactions
-- Good: Smaller API footprint for users to get familiar with
-- Good: People using OpenAI directly already expect this pattern
-- Good: Workflows internally already use a single method (_run_workflow_with_tracing), so would eliminate public API duplication as well, with hardly any code changes
-- Bad: More breaking changes for agent users
-- Bad: Increased complexity in agent implementation
-- Bad: More extensive misalignment with .NET design (`run(stream=True)` vs `RunStreamingAsync` in addition to `get_response` change)
-
-## Misc
-
-Smaller questions to consider:
-- Should default be `stream=False` or `stream=True`? (Current is False)
-    - Default to `False` makes it simpler for new users, as non-streaming is easier to handle.
-    - Default to `False` aligns with existing behavior.
-    - Streaming tends to be faster, so defaulting to `True` could improve performance for common use cases.
-    - Should this differ between ChatClient, Agent and Workflows? (e.g., Agent and Workflow defaults to streaming, ChatClient to non-streaming)
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen Option: **Option 3: Consolidate + Merge Agent and Workflow Methods**
-
-Since this is the most pythonic option and it reduces the API surface and code duplication the most, we will go with this option.
-We will keep the default of `stream=False` for all methods to maintain backward compatibility and simplicity for new users.

-# Feature Collections
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-When using agents, we often have cases where we want to pass some arbitrary services or data to an agent or some component in the agent execution stack.
-These services or data are not necessarily known at compile time and can vary by the agent stack that the user has built.
-E.g., there may be an agent decorator or chat client decorator that was added to the stack by the user, and an arbitrary payload needs to be passed to that decorator.
-
-Since these payloads are related to components that are not integral parts of the agent framework, they cannot be added as strongly typed settings to the agent run options.
-However, the payloads could be added to the agent run options as loosely typed 'features', that can be retrieved as needed.
-
-In some cases certain classes of agents may support the same capability, but not all agents do.
-Having the configuration for such a capability on the main abstraction would advertise the functionality to all users, even if their chosen agent does not support it.
-The user may type test for certain agent types, and call overloads on the appropriate agent types, with the strongly typed configuration.
-Having a feature collection though, would be an alternative way of passing such configuration, without needing to type check the agent type.
-All agents that support the functionality would be able to check for the configuration and use it, simplifying the user code.
-If the agent does not support the capability, that configuration would be ignored.
-
-### Sample Scenario 1 - Per Run ChatMessageStore Override for hosting Libraries
-
-We are building an agent hosting library, that can host any agent built using the agent framework.
-Where an agent is not built on a service that uses in-service chat history storage, the hosting library wants to force the agent to use
-the hosting library's chat history storage implementation.
-This chat history storage implementation may be specifically tailored to the type of protocol that the hosting library uses, e.g. conversation id based storage or response id based storage.
-The hosting library does not know what type of agent it is hosting, so it cannot provide a strongly typed parameter on the agent.
-Instead, it adds the chat history storage implementation to a feature collection, and if the agent supports custom chat history storage, it retrieves the implementation from the feature collection and uses it.
-
-```csharp
-// Pseudo-code for an agent hosting library that supports conversation id based hosting.
-public async Task<string> HandleConversationsBasedRequestAsync(AIAgent agent, string conversationId, string userInput)
-{
-    var thread = await this._threadStore.GetOrCreateThread(conversationId);
-
-    // The hosting library can set a per-run chat message store via Features that only applies for that run.
-    // This message store will load and save messages under the conversation id provided.
-    ConversationsChatMessageStore messageStore = new(this._dbClient, conversationId);
-    var response = await agent.RunAsync(
-        userInput,
-        thread,
-        options: new AgentRunOptions()
-        {
-            Features = new AgentFeatureCollection().WithFeature<ChatMessageStore>(messageStore)
-        });
-
-    await this._threadStore.SaveThreadAsync(conversationId, thread);
-    return response.Text;
-}
-
-// Pseudo-code for an agent hosting library that supports response id based hosting.
-public async Task<(string responseMessage, string responseId)> HandleResponseIdBasedRequestAsync(AIAgent agent, string previousResponseId, string userInput)
-{
-    var thread = await this._threadStore.GetOrCreateThreadAsync(previousResponseId);
-
-    // The hosting library can set a per-run chat message store via Features that only applies for that run.
-    // This message store will buffer newly added messages until explicitly saved after the run.
-    ResponsesChatMessageStore messageStore = new(this._dbClient, previousResponseId);
-
-    var response = await agent.RunAsync(
-        userInput,
-        thread,
-        options: new AgentRunOptions()
-        {
-            Features = new AgentFeatureCollection().WithFeature<ChatMessageStore>(messageStore)
-        });
-
-    // Since the message store may not actually have been used at all (if the agent's underlying chat client requires service-based chat history storage),
-    // we may not have anything to save back to the database.
-    // We still want to generate a new response id though, so that we can save the updated thread state under that id.
-    // We should also use the same id to save any buffered messages in the message store if there are any.
-    var newResponseId = this.GenerateResponseId();
-    if (messageStore.HasBufferedMessages)
-    {
-        await messageStore.SaveBufferedMessagesAsync(newResponseId);
-    }
-    
-    // Save the updated thread state under the new response id that was generated by the store.
-    await this._threadStore.SaveThreadAsync(newResponseId, thread);
-    return (response.Text, newResponseId);
-}
-```
-
-### Sample Scenario 2 - Structured output
-
-Currently our base abstraction does not support structured output, since the capability is not supported by all agents.
-For those agents that don't support structured output, we could add an agent decorator that takes the response from the underlying agent, and applies structured output parsing on top of it via an additional LLM call.
-
-If we add structured output configuration as a feature, then any agent that supports structured output could retrieve the configuration from the feature collection and apply it, and where it is not supported, the configuration would simply be ignored.
-
-We could add a simple StructuredOutputAgentFeature that can be added to the list of features and also be used to return the generated structured output.
-
-```csharp
-internal class StructuredOutputAgentFeature
-{
-    public Type? OutputType { get; set; }
-
-    public JsonSerializerOptions? SerializerOptions { get; set; }
-
-    public bool? UseJsonSchemaResponseFormat { get; set; }
-
-    // Contains the result of the structured output parsing request.
-    public ChatResponse? ChatResponse { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-We can add a simple decorator class that does the chat client invocation.
-
-```csharp
-public class StructuredOutputAgent : DelegatingAIAgent
-{
-    private readonly IChatClient _chatClient;
-    public StructuredOutputAgent(AIAgent innerAgent, IChatClient chatClient)
-        : base(innerAgent)
-    {
-        this._chatClient = Throw.IfNull(chatClient);
-    }
-
-    public override async Task<AgentRunResponse> RunAsync(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentThread? thread = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        // Run the inner agent first, to get back the text response we want to convert.
-        var response = await base.RunAsync(messages, thread, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-        if (options?.Features?.TryGet<StructuredOutputAgentFeature>(out var responseFormatFeature) is true
-            && responseFormatFeature.OutputType is not null)
-        {
-            // Create the chat options to request structured output.
-            ChatOptions chatOptions = new()
-            {
-                ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema(responseFormatFeature.OutputType, responseFormatFeature.SerializerOptions)
-            };
-
-            // Invoke the chat client to transform the text output into structured data.
-            // The feature is updated with the result.
-            // The code can be simplified by adding a non-generic structured output GetResponseAsync
-            // overload that takes Type as input.
-            responseFormatFeature.ChatResponse = await this._chatClient.GetResponseAsync(
-                messages: new[]
-                {
-                    new ChatMessage(ChatRole.System, "You are a json expert and when provided with any text, will convert it to the requested json format."),
-                    new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, response.Text)
-                },
-                options: chatOptions,
-                cancellationToken: cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-        }
-
-        return response;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Finally, we can add an extension method on `AIAgent` that can add the feature to the run options and check the feature for the structured output result and add the deserialized result to the response.
-
-```csharp
-public static async Task<AgentRunResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-    this AIAgent agent,
-    IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-    AgentThread? thread = null,
-    JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-    AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-    bool? useJsonSchemaResponseFormat = null,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-{
-    // Create the structured output feature.
-    var structuredOutputFeature = new StructuredOutputAgentFeature();
-    structuredOutputFeature.OutputType = typeof(T);
-    structuredOutputFeature.UseJsonSchemaResponseFormat = useJsonSchemaResponseFormat;
-
-    // Run the agent.
-    options ??= new AgentRunOptions();
-    options.Features ??= new AgentFeatureCollection();
-    options.Features.Set(structuredOutputFeature);
-
-    var response = await agent.RunAsync(messages, thread, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-    // Deserialize the JSON output.
-    if (structuredOutputFeature.ChatResponse is not null)
-    {
-        var typed = new ChatResponse<T>(structuredOutputFeature.ChatResponse, serializerOptions ?? AgentJsonUtilities.DefaultOptions);
-        return new AgentRunResponse<T>(response, typed.Result);
-    }
-
-    throw new InvalidOperationException("No structured output response was generated by the agent.");
-}
-```
-
-We can then use the extension method with any agent that supports structured output or that has
-been decorated with the `StructuredOutputAgent` decorator.
-
-```csharp
-agent = new StructuredOutputAgent(agent, chatClient);
-
-AgentRunResponse<PersonInfo> response = await agent.RunAsync<PersonInfo>([new ChatMessage(
-    ChatRole.User,
-    "Please provide information about John Smith, who is a 35-year-old software engineer.")]);
-```
-
-## Implementation Options
-
-Three options were considered for implementing feature collections:
-
-- **Option 1**: FeatureCollections similar to ASP.NET Core
-- **Option 2**: AdditionalProperties Dictionary
-- **Option 3**: IServiceProvider
-
-Here are some comparisons about their suitability for our use case:
-
-| Criteria         | Feature Collection | Additional Properties | IServiceProvider |
-|------------------|--------------------|-----------------------|------------------|
-|Ease of use       |✅ Good             |❌ Bad                |✅ Good           |
-|User familiarity  |❌ Bad              |✅ Good               |✅ Good           |
-|Type safety       |✅ Good             |❌ Bad                |✅ Good           |
-|Ability to modify registered options when progressing down the stack|✅ Supported|✅ Supported|❌ Not-Supported (IServiceProvider is read-only)|
-|Already available in MEAI stack|❌ No|✅ Yes|❌ No|
-|Ambiguity with existing AdditionalProperties|❌ Yes|✅ No|❌ Yes|
-
-## IServiceProvider
-
-Service Collections and Service Providers provide a very popular way to register and retrieve services by type and could be used as a way to pass features to agents and chat clients.
-
-However, since IServiceProvider is read-only, it is not possible to modify the registered services when progressing down the execution stack.
-E.g. an agent decorator cannot add additional services to the IServiceProvider passed to it when calling into the inner agent.
-
-IServiceProvider also does not expose a way to list all services contained in it, making it difficult to copy services from one provider to another.
-
-This lack of mutability makes IServiceProvider unsuitable for our use case, since we will not be able to use it to build sample scenario 2.
-
-## AdditionalProperties dictionary
-
-The AdditionalProperties dictionary is already available on various options classes in the agent framework as well as in the MEAI stack and
-allows storing arbitrary key/value pairs, where the key is a string and the value is an object.
-
-While FeatureCollection uses Type as a key, AdditionalProperties uses string keys.
-This means that users need to agree on string keys to use for specific features, however it is also possible to use Type.FullName as a key by convention
-to avoid key collisions, which is an easy convention to follow.
-
-Since the value of AdditionalProperties is of type object, users need to cast the value to the expected type when retrieving it, which is also
-a drawback, but when using the convention of using Type.FullName as a key, there is at least a clear expectation of what type to cast to.
-
-```csharp
-// Setting a feature
-options.AdditionalProperties[typeof(MyFeature).FullName] = new MyFeature();
-
-// Retrieving a feature
-if (options.AdditionalProperties.TryGetValue(typeof(MyFeature).FullName, out var featureObj)
-    && featureObj is MyFeature myFeature)
-{
-    // Use myFeature
-}
-```
-
-It would also be possible to add extension methods to simplify setting and getting features from AdditionalProperties.
-Having a base class for features should help make this more feature rich.
-
-```csharp
-// Setting a feature, this can use Type.FullName as the key.
-options.AdditionalProperties
-    .WithFeature(new MyFeature());
-
-// Retrieving a feature, this can use Type.FullName as the key.
-if (options.AdditionalProperties.TryGetFeature<MyFeature>(out var myFeature))
-{
-    // Use myFeature
-}
-```
-
-It would also be possible to add extension methods for a feature to simplify setting and getting features from AdditionalProperties.
-
-```csharp
-// Setting a feature
-options.AdditionalProperties
-    .WithMyFeature(new MyFeature());
-// Retrieving a feature
-if (options.AdditionalProperties.TryGetMyFeature(out var myFeature))
-{
-    // Use myFeature
-}
-```
-
-## Feature Collection
-
-If we choose the feature collection option, we need to decide on the design of the feature collection itself.
-
-### Feature Collections extension points
-
-We need to decide the set of actions that feature collections would be supported for. Here is the suggested list of actions:
-
-**MAAI.AIAgent:**
-
-1. GetNewThread
-    1. E.g. this would allow passing an already existing storage id for the thread to use, or an initialized custom chat message store to use.
-1. DeserializeThread
-    1. E.g. this would allow passing an already existing storage id for the thread to use, or an initialized custom chat message store to use.
-1. Run / RunStreaming
-    1. E.g. this would allow passing an override chat message store just for that run, or a desired schema for a structured output middleware component.
-
-**MEAI.ChatClient:**
-
-1. GetResponse / GetStreamingResponse
-
-### Reconciling with existing AdditionalProperties
-
-If we decide to add feature collections, separately from the existing AdditionalProperties dictionaries, we need to consider how to explain to users when to use each one.
-One possible approach though is to have the one use the other under the hood.
-AdditionalProperties could be stored as a feature in the feature collection.
-
-Users would be able to retrieve additional properties from the feature collection, in addition to retrieving it via a dedicated AdditionalProperties property.
-E.g. `features.Get<AdditionalPropertiesDictionary>()`
-
-One challenge with this approach is that when setting a value in the AdditionalProperties dictionary, the feature collection would need to be created first if it does not already exist.
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentRunOptions
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
-    public IAgentFeatureCollection? Features { get; set; }
-}
-
-var options = new AgentRunOptions();
-// This would need to create the feature collection first, if it does not already exist.
-options.AdditionalProperties ??= new AdditionalPropertiesDictionary();
-```
-
-Since IAgentFeatureCollection is an interface, AgentRunOptions would need to have a concrete implementation of the interface to create, meaning that the user cannot decide.
-It also means that if the user doesn't realise that AdditionalProperties is implemented using feature collections, they may set a value on AdditionalProperties, and then later overwrite the entire feature collection, losing the AdditionalProperties feature.
-
-Options to avoid these issues:
-
-1. Make `Features` readonly.
-    1. This would prevent the user from overwriting the feature collection after setting AdditionalProperties.
-    1. Since the user cannot set their own implementation of IAgentFeatureCollection, having an interface for it may not be necessary.
-
-### Feature Collection Implementation
-
-We have two options for implementing feature collections:
-
-1. Create our own [IAgentFeatureCollection interface](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/2354/files#diff-9c42f3e60d70a791af9841d9214e038c6de3eebfc10e3997cb4cdffeb2f1246d) and [implementation](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/2354/files#diff-a435cc738baec500b8799f7f58c1538e3bb06c772a208afc2615ff90ada3f4ca).
-2. Reuse the asp.net [IFeatureCollection interface](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/main/src/Extensions/Features/src/IFeatureCollection.cs) and [implementation](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/main/src/Extensions/Features/src/FeatureCollection.cs).
-
-#### Roll our own
-
-Advantages:
-
-Creating our own IAgentFeatureCollection interface and implementation has the advantage of being more clearly associated with the agent framework and allows us to
-improve on some of the design decisions made in asp.net core's IFeatureCollection.
-
-Drawbacks:
-
-It would mean a different implementation to maintain and test.
-
-#### Reuse asp.net IFeatureCollection
-
-Advantages:
-
-Reusing the asp.net IFeatureCollection has the advantage of being able to reuse the well-established and tested implementation from asp.net
-core. Users who are using agents in an asp.net core application may be able to pass feature collections from asp.net core to the agent framework directly.
-
-Drawbacks:
-
-While the package name is `Microsoft.Extensions.Features`, the namespaces of the types are `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Features`, which may create confusion for users of agent framework who are not building web applications or services.
-Users may rightly ask: Why do I need to use a class from asp.net core when I'm not building a web application / service?
-
-The current design has some design issues that would be good to avoid.  E.g. it does not distinguish between a feature being "not set" and "null". Get returns both as null and there is no tryget method.
-Since the [default implementation](https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/main/src/Extensions/Features/src/FeatureCollection.cs) also supports value types, it throws for null values of value types.
-A TryGet method would be more appropriate.
-
-## Feature Layering
-
-One possible scenario when adding support for feature collections is to allow layering of features by scope.
-
-The following levels of scope could be supported:
-
-1. Application - Application wide features that apply to all agents / chat clients
-2. Artifact (Agent / ChatClient) - Features that apply to all runs of a specific agent or chat client instance
-3. Action (GetNewThread / Run / GetResponse) - Feature that apply to a single action only
-
-When retrieving a feature from the collection, the search would start from the most specific scope (Action) and progress to the least specific scope (Application), returning the first matching feature found.
-
-Introducing layering adds some challenges:
-
-- There may be multiple feature collections at the same scope level, e.g. an Agent that uses a ChatClient where both have their own feature collections.
-  - Do we layer the agent feature collection over the chat client feature collection (Application -> ChatClient -> Agent -> Run), or only use the agent feature collection in the agent (Application -> Agent -> Run), and the chat client feature collection in the chat client (Application -> ChatClient -> Run)?
-- The appropriate base feature collection may change when progressing down the stack, e.g. when an Agent calls a ChatClient, the action feature collection stays the same, but the artifact feature collection changes.
-- Who creates the feature collection hierarchy?
-  - Since the hierarchy changes as it progresses down the execution stack, and the caller can only pass in the action level feature collection, the callee needs to combine it with its own artifact level feature collection and the application level feature collection. Each action will need to build the appropriate feature collection hierarchy, at the start of its execution.
-- For Artifact level features, it seems odd to pass them in as a bag of untyped features, when we are constructing a known artifact type and therefore can have typed settings.
-  - E.g. today we have a strongly typed setting on ChatClientAgentOptions to configure a ChatMessageStore for the agent.
-- To avoid global statics for application level features, the user would need to pass in the application level feature collection to each artifact that they create.
-  - This would be very odd if the user also already has to strongly typed settings for each feature that they want to set at the artifact level.
-
-### Layering Options
-
-1. No layering - only a single feature collection is supported per action (the caller can still create a layered collection if desired, but the callee does not do any layering automatically).
-    1. Fallback is to any features configured on the artifact via strongly typed settings.
-1. Full layering - support layering at all levels (Application -> Artifact -> Action).
-    1. Only apply applicable artifact level features when calling into that artifact.
-    1. Apply upstream artifact features when calling into downstream artifacts, e.g. Feature hierarchy in ChatClientAgent would be `Application -> Agent -> Run` and in ChatClient would be `Application -> ChatClient -> Agent -> Run` or `Application -> Agent -> ChatClient -> Run`
-    1. The user needs to provide the application level feature collection to each artifact that they create and artifact features are passed via strongly typed settings.
-
-### Accessing application level features Options
-
-We need to consider how application level features would be accessed if supported.
-
-1. The user provides the application level feature collection to each artifact that the user constructs
-    1. Passing the application level feature collection to each artifact is tedious for the user.
-1. There is a static application level feature collection that can be accessed globally.
-    1. Statics create issues with testing and isolation.
-
-## Decisions
-
-- Feature Collections Container: Use AdditionalProperties
-- Feature Layering: No layering - only a single collection/dictionary is supported per action. Application layers can be added later if needed.

-# AgentRunContext for Agent Run
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-During an agent run, various components involved in the execution (middleware, filters, tools, nested agents, etc.) may need access to contextual information about the current run, such as:
-
-1. The agent that is executing the run
-2. The session associated with the run
-3. The request messages passed to the agent
-4. The run options controlling the agent's behavior
-
-Additionally, some components may need to modify this context during execution, for example:
-
-- Replacing the session with a different one
-- Modifying the request messages before they reach the agent core
-- Updating or replacing the run options entirely
-
-Currently, there is no standardized way to access or modify this context from arbitrary code that executes during an agent run, especially from deeply nested call stacks where the context is not explicitly passed.
-
-## Sample Scenario
-
-When using an Agent as an AIFunction developers may want to pass context from the parent agent run to the child agent run. For example, the developer may want to copy chat history to the child agent, or share the same session across both agents.
-
-To enable these scenarios, we need a way to access the parent agent run context, including e.g. the parent agent itself, the parent agent session, and the parent run options from function tool calls.
-
-```csharp
-    public static AIFunction AsAIFunctionWithSessionPropagation(this ChatClientAgent agent, AIFunctionFactoryOptions? options = null)
-    {
-        Throw.IfNull(agent);
-
-        [Description("Invoke an agent to retrieve some information.")]
-        async Task<string> InvokeAgentAsync(
-            [Description("Input query to invoke the agent.")] string query,
-            CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-        {
-            // Get the session from the parent agent and pass it to the child agent.
-            var session = AIAgent.CurrentRunContext?.Session;
-
-            // Alternatively, the developer may want to create a new session but copy over the chat history from the parent agent.
-            // var parentChatHistory = AIAgent.CurrentRunContext?.Session?.GetService<IList<ChatMessage>>();
-            // if (parentChatHistory != null)
-            // {
-            //     var chp = new InMemoryChatHistoryProvider();
-            //     foreach (var message in parentChatHistory)
-            //     {
-            //         chp.Add(message);
-            //     }
-            //     session = agent.GetNewSession(chp);
-            // }
-
-            var response = await agent.RunAsync(query, session: session, cancellationToken: cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-            return response.Text;
-        }
-
-        options ??= new();
-        options.Name ??= SanitizeAgentName(agent.Name);
-        options.Description ??= agent.Description;
-
-        return AIFunctionFactory.Create(InvokeAgentAsync, options);
-    }
-```
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Components executing during an agent run need access to run context without explicit parameter passing through every layer
-- Context should flow naturally across async calls without manual propagation
-- The design should allow modification of context properties by agent decorators (e.g., replacing options or session)
-- Solution should be consistent with patterns used in similar frameworks (e.g., `FunctionInvokingChatClient.CurrentContext` `HttpContext.Current`, `Activity.Current`)
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- **Option 1**: Pass context explicitly through all method signatures
-- **Option 2**: Use `AsyncLocal<T>` to provide ambient context accessible anywhere during the run
-- **Option 3**: Use a combination of explicit parameters for `RunCoreAsync` and `AsyncLocal<T>` for ambient access
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option: **Option 3** - Combination of explicit parameters and AsyncLocal ambient access.
-
-This approach provides the best of both worlds:
-
-1. **Explicit parameters are passed to `RunCoreAsync`**: The core agent implementation receives the parameters explicitly, making it clear what data is available and enabling easy unit testing. Any modification of these in a decorator will require calling `RunAsync` on the inner agent with the updated parameters, which would result in the inner agent creating a new `AgentRunContext` instance.
-
-   ```csharp
-    public async Task<AgentResponse> RunAsync(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-
-        CurrentRunContext = new(this, session, messages as IReadOnlyCollection<ChatMessage> ?? messages.ToList(), options);
-        return await this.RunCoreAsync(messages, session, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-    }
-   ```
-
-2. **`AsyncLocal<AgentRunContext?>` for ambient access**: The context is stored in an `AsyncLocal<T>` field, making it accessible from any code executing during the agent run via a static property.
-
-    The main scenario for this is to allow deeply nested components (e.g., tools, chat client middleware) to access the context without needing to pass it through every method signature. These are external components that cannot easily be modified to accept additional parameters. For internal components, we prefer passing any parameters explicitly.
-
-   ```csharp
-   public static AgentRunContext? CurrentRunContext
-   {
-       get => s_currentContext.Value;
-       protected set => s_currentContext.Value = value;
-   }
-   ```
-
-### AgentRunContext Design
-
-The `AgentRunContext` class encapsulates all run-related state:
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentRunContext
-{
-    public AgentRunContext(
-        AIAgent agent,
-        AgentSession? session,
-        IReadOnlyCollection<ChatMessage> requestMessages,
-        AgentRunOptions? agentRunOptions)
-
-    public AIAgent Agent { get; }
-    public AgentSession? Session { get; }
-    public IReadOnlyCollection<ChatMessage> RequestMessages { get; }
-    public AgentRunOptions? RunOptions { get; }
-}
-```
-
-Key design decisions:
-
-- **All properties are read-only**: While some of the sub-properties on the provided properties (like `AgentRunOptions.AllowBackgroundResponses`) may be mutable, the `AgentRunContext` itself is immutable and we want to discourage anyone modifying the values in the context.  Modifying the context is unlikely to result in the desired behavior, as the values will typically already have been used by the time any custom code accesses them.
-
-### Benefits
-
-1. **Ambient Access**: Any code executing during the run can access context via `AIAgent.CurrentRunContext` without needing explicit parameters
-2. **Async Flow**: `AsyncLocal<T>` automatically flows across async/await boundaries
-3. **Modifiability**: Components can modify or replace session, messages, or options as needed
-4. **Testability**: The explicit parameter to `RunCoreAsync` makes unit testing straightforward

-# Structured Output
-
-Structured output is a valuable aspect of any agent system, since it forces an agent to produce output in a required format that may include required fields.
-This allows easily turning unstructured data into structured data using a general-purpose language model.
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Structured output is currently supported only by `ChatClientAgent` and can be configured in two ways:
-
-**Approach 1: ResponseFormat + Deserialize**
-
-Specify the SO type schema via the `ChatClientAgent{Run}Options.ChatOptions.ResponseFormat` property at agent creation or invocation time, then use `JsonSerializer.Deserialize<T>` to extract the structured data from the response text.
-
-	```csharp
-	// SO type can be provided at agent creation time
-	ChatClientAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions()
-	{
-		Name = "...",
-		ChatOptions = new() { ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>() }
-	});
-
-	AgentResponse response = await agent.RunAsync("...");
-
-	PersonInfo personInfo = response.Deserialize<PersonInfo>(JsonSerializerOptions.Web);
-
-	Console.WriteLine($"Name: {personInfo.Name}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Age: {personInfo.Age}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Occupation: {personInfo.Occupation}");
-
-	// Alternatively, SO type can be provided at agent invocation time
-	response = await agent.RunAsync("...", new ChatClientAgentRunOptions()
-	{
-		ChatOptions = new() { ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>() }
-	});
-
-	personInfo = response.Deserialize<PersonInfo>(JsonSerializerOptions.Web);
-
-	Console.WriteLine($"Name: {personInfo.Name}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Age: {personInfo.Age}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Occupation: {personInfo.Occupation}");
-	```
-
-**Approach 2: Generic RunAsync<T>**
-
-Supply the SO type as a generic parameter to `RunAsync<T>` and access the parsed result directly via the `Result` property.
-
-	```csharp
-	ChatClientAgent agent = ...;
-	
-	AgentResponse<PersonInfo> response = await agent.RunAsync<PersonInfo>("...");
-
-	Console.WriteLine($"Name: {response.Result.Name}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Age: {response.Result.Age}");
-	Console.WriteLine($"Occupation: {response.Result.Occupation}");
-	```
-	Note: `RunAsync<T>` is an instance method of `ChatClientAgent` and not part of the `AIAgent` base class since not all agents support structured output.
-
-Approach 1 is perceived as cumbersome by the community, as it requires additional effort when using primitive or collection types - the SO schema may need to be wrapped in an artificial JSON object. Otherwise, the caller will encounter an error like _Invalid schema for response_format 'Movie': schema must be a JSON Schema of 'type: "object"', got 'type: "array"'_. 
-This occurs because OpenAI and compatible APIs require a JSON object as the root schema.
-
-Approach 1 is also necessary in scenarios where (a) agents can only be configured with SO at creation time (such as with `AIProjectClient`), (b) the SO type is not known at compile time, or (c) the JSON schema is represented as text (for declarative agents) or as a `JsonElement`.
-
-Approach 2 is more convenient and works seamlessly with primitives and collections. However, it requires the SO type to be known at compile time, making it less flexible.
-
-Additionally, since the `RunAsync<T>` methods are instance methods of `ChatClientAgent` and are not part of the `AIAgent` base class, applying decorators like `OpenTelemetryAgent` on top of `ChatClientAgent` prevents users from accessing `RunAsync<T>`, meaning structured output is not available with decorated agents.
-
-Given the different scenarios above in which structured output can be used, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Each approach has its own advantages and limitations,
-and the two can complement each other to provide a comprehensive structured output experience across various use cases.
-
-## Approaches Overview
-
-1. SO usage via `ResponseFormat` property
-2. SO usage via `RunAsync<T>` generic method
-
-## 1. SO usage via `ResponseFormat` property
-
-This approach should be used in the following scenarios:
- - 1.1 SO result as text is sufficient as is, and deserialization is not required
- - 1.2 SO for inter-agent collaboration
- - 1.3 SO can only be configured at agent creation time (such as with `AIProjectClient`)
- - 1.4 SO type is not known at compile time and represented by System.Type
- - 1.5 SO is represented by JSON schema and there's no corresponding .NET type either at compile time or at runtime
- - 1.6 SO in streaming scenarios, where the SO response is produced in parts
-
-**Note: Primitives and arrays are not supported by this approach.**
-
-When a caller provides a schema via `ResponseFormat`, they are explicitly telling the framework what schema to use. The framework passes that schema through as-is and
-is not responsible for transforming it. Because the framework does not own the schema, it cannot wrap primitives or arrays into a JSON object to satisfy API requirements,
-nor can it unwrap the response afterward - the caller controls the schema and is responsible for ensuring it is compatible with the underlying API.
-
-This is in contrast to the `RunAsync<T>` approach (section 2), where the caller provides a type `T` and says "make it work." In that case, the caller does not
-dictate the schema - the framework infers the schema from `T`, owns the end-to-end pipeline (schema generation, API invocation, and deserialization), and can
-therefore wrap and unwrap primitives and arrays transparently.
-
-Additionally, in streaming scenarios (1.6), the framework cannot reliably unwrap a response it did not wrap, since it has no way of knowing whether the caller wrapped the schema.Wrapping and unwrapping can only be done safely when the framework owns the entire lifecycle - from schema creation through deserialization — which is only the case with `RunAsync<T>`.
-
-If a caller needs to work with primitives or arrays via the `ResponseFormat` approach, they can easily create a wrapper type around them:
-
-```csharp
-public class MovieListWrapper
-{
-    public List<string> Movies { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-### 1.1 SO result as text is sufficient as is, and deserialization is not required
-
-In this scenario, the caller only needs the raw JSON text returned by the model and does not need to deserialize it into a .NET type.
-The SO schema is specified via `ResponseFormat` at agent creation or invocation time, and the response text is consumed directly from the `AgentResponse`.
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent();
-
-AgentRunOptions runOptions = new()
-{
-        ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>()
-};
-
-AgentResponse response = await agent.RunAsync("...", options: runOptions);
-
-Console.WriteLine(response.Text);
-```
-
-### 1.2 SO for inter-agent collaboration
-
-This scenario assumes a multi-agent setup where agents collaborate by passing messages to each other.
-One agent produces structured output as text that is then passed directly as input to the next agent, without intermediate deserialization.
-
-```csharp
-// First agent extracts structured data from unstructured input
-AIAgent extractionAgent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions()
-{
-    Name = "ExtractionAgent",
-    ChatOptions = new() 
-    { 
-        Instructions = "Extract person information from the provided text.",
-        ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>() 
-    }
-});
-
-AgentResponse extractionResponse = await extractionAgent.RunAsync("John Smith is a 35-year-old software engineer.");
-
-// Pass the message with structured output text directly to the next agent
-ChatMessage soMessage = extractionResponse.Messages.Last();
-
-AIAgent summaryAgent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions()
-{
-    Name = "SummaryAgent",
-    ChatOptions = new() { Instructions = "Given the following structured person data, write a short professional bio." }
-});
-
-AgentResponse summaryResponse = await summaryAgent.RunAsync(soMessage);
-
-Console.WriteLine(summaryResponse);
-```
-
-### 1.3 SO configured at agent creation time
-
-In this scenario, the SO schema can only be configured at agent creation time (such as with `AIProjectClient`) and cannot be changed on a per-run basis.
-The caller specifies the `ResponseFormat` when creating the agent, and all subsequent invocations use the same schema.
-
-```csharp
-AIProjectClient client = ...;
-
-AIAgent agent = await client.CreateAIAgentAsync(model: "<model>", new ChatClientAgentOptions()
-{
-    Name = "...",
-    ChatOptions = new() { ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>() }
-});
-
-AgentResponse response = await agent.RunAsync("Please provide information about John Smith.");
-
-PersonInfo personInfo = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PersonInfo>(response.Text, JsonSerializerOptions.Web)!;
-
-Console.WriteLine($"Name: {personInfo.Name}");
-Console.WriteLine($"Age: {personInfo.Age}");
-Console.WriteLine($"Occupation: {personInfo.Occupation}");
-```
-
-### 1.4 SO type not known at compile time and represented by System.Type
-
-In this scenario, the SO type is not known at compile time and is provided as a `System.Type` at runtime. This is useful for dynamic scenarios where the schema is determined programmatically, 
-such as when building tooling or frameworks that work with user-defined types.
-
-```csharp
-Type soType = GetStructuredOutputTypeFromConfiguration(); // e.g., typeof(PersonInfo)
-
-ChatResponseFormat responseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema(soType);
-
-AgentResponse response = await agent.RunAsync("...", new ChatClientAgentRunOptions()
-{
-    ChatOptions = new() { ResponseFormat = responseFormat }
-});
-
-PersonInfo personInfo = (PersonInfo)JsonSerializer.Deserialize(response.Text, soType, JsonSerializerOptions.Web)!;
-```
-
-### 1.5 SO represented by JSON schema with no corresponding .NET type
-
-In this scenario, the SO schema is represented as raw JSON schema text or a `JsonElement`, and there is no corresponding .NET type available at compile time or runtime.
-This is typical for declarative agents or scenarios where schemas are loaded from external configuration.
-
-```csharp
-// JSON schema provided as a string, e.g., loaded from a configuration file
-string jsonSchema = """
-{
-    "type": "object",
-    "properties": {
-        "name": { "type": "string" },
-        "age": { "type": "integer" },
-        "occupation": { "type": "string" }
-    },
-    "required": ["name", "age", "occupation"]
-}
-""";
-
-ChatResponseFormat responseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema(
-    jsonSchemaName: "PersonInfo",
-    jsonSchema: BinaryData.FromString(jsonSchema));
-
-AgentResponse response = await agent.RunAsync("...", new ChatClientAgentRunOptions()
-{
-    ChatOptions = new() { ResponseFormat = responseFormat }
-});
-
-// Consume the SO result as text since there's no .NET type to deserialize into
-Console.WriteLine(response.Text);
-```
-
-### 1.6 SO in streaming scenarios
-
-In this scenario, the SO response is produced incrementally in parts via streaming. The caller specifies the `ResponseFormat` and consumes the response chunks as they arrive.
-Deserialization is performed after all chunks have been received.
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions()
-{
-    Name = "HelpfulAssistant",
-    ChatOptions = new()
-    {
-        Instructions = "You are a helpful assistant.",
-        ResponseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<PersonInfo>()
-    }
-});
-
-IAsyncEnumerable<AgentResponseUpdate> updates = agent.RunStreamingAsync("Please provide information about John Smith, who is a 35-year-old software engineer.");
-
-AgentResponse response = await updates.ToAgentResponseAsync();
-
-// Deserialize the complete SO result after streaming is finished
-PersonInfo personInfo = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PersonInfo>(response.Text)!;
-```
-
-## 2. SO usage via `RunAsync<T>` generic method
-
-This approach provides a convenient way to work with structured output on a per-run basis when the target type is known at compile time and a typed instance of the result
-is required.
-
-### Decision Drivers
-
-1. Support arrays and primitives as SO types
-2. Support complex types as SO types
-3. Work with `AIAgent` decorators (e.g., `OpenTelemetryAgent`)
-4. Enable SO for all AI agents, regardless of whether they natively support it
-
-### Considered Options
-
-1. `RunAsync<T>` as an instance method of `AIAgent` class delegating to virtual `RunCoreAsync<T>`
-2. `RunAsync<T>` as an extension method using feature collection
-3. `RunAsync<T>` as a method of the new `ITypedAIAgent` interface
-4. `RunAsync<T>` as an instance method of `AIAgent` class working via the new `AgentRunOptions.ResponseFormat` property
-
-### 1. `RunAsync<T>` as an instance method of `AIAgent` class delegating to virtual `RunCoreAsync<T>`
-
-This option adds the `RunAsync<T>` method directly to the `AIAgent` base class.
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class AIAgent
-{
-	public Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-		=> this.RunCoreAsync<T>(messages, session, serializerOptions, options, cancellationToken);
-
-    protected virtual Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunCoreAsync<T>(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        throw new NotSupportedException($"The agent of type '{this.GetType().FullName}' does not support typed responses.");
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Agents with native SO support override the `RunCoreAsync<T>` method to provide their implementation. If not overridden, the method throws a `NotSupportedException`.
-
-Users will call the generic `RunAsync<T>` method directly on the agent:
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(name: "HelpfulAssistant", instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.");
-
-AgentResponse<PersonInfo> response = await agent.RunAsync<PersonInfo>("Please provide information about John Smith, who is a 35-year-old software engineer.");
-```
-
-Decision drivers satisfied:
-1. Support arrays and primitives as SO types
-2. Support complex types as SO types
-3. Work with `AIAgent` decorators (e.g., `OpenTelemetryAgent`)
-4. Enable SO for all AI agents, regardless of whether they natively support it
-
-Pros:
-- The `AIAgent.RunAsync<T>` method is easily discoverable.
-- Both the SO decorator and `ChatClientAgent` have compile-time access to the type `T`, allowing them to use the native `IChatClient.GetResponseAsync<T>` API, which handles primitives and collections seamlessly.
-
-Cons:
-- Agents without native SO support will still expose `RunAsync<T>`, which may be misleading.
-- `ChatClientAgent` exposing `RunAsync<T>` may be misleading when the underlying chat client does not support SO.
-- All `AIAgent` decorators must override `RunCoreAsync<T>` to properly handle `RunAsync<T>` calls.
-
-### 2. `RunAsync<T>` as an extension method using feature collection
-
-This option uses the Agent Framework feature collection (implemented via `AgentRunOptions.AdditionalProperties`) to pass a `StructuredOutputFeature` to agents, signaling that SO is requested.
-
-Agents with native SO support check for this feature. If present, they read the target type, build the schema, invoke the underlying API, and store the response back in the feature.
-```csharp
-public class StructuredOutputFeature
-{
-    public StructuredOutputFeature(Type outputType)
-    {
-        this.OutputType = outputType;
-    }
-
-    [JsonIgnore]
-    public Type OutputType { get; set; }
-
-    public JsonSerializerOptions? SerializerOptions { get; set; }
-
-    public AgentResponse? Response { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-The `RunAsync<T>` extension method for `AIAgent` adds this feature to the collection.
-```csharp
-public static async Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-    this AIAgent agent,
-    IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-    AgentSession? session = null,
-    JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-    AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-{
-    // Create the structured output feature.
-    StructuredOutputFeature structuredOutputFeature = new(typeof(T))
-    {
-        SerializerOptions = serializerOptions,
-    };
-
-    // Register it in the feature collection.
-    ((options ??= new AgentRunOptions()).AdditionalProperties ??= []).Add(typeof(StructuredOutputFeature).FullName!, structuredOutputFeature);
-
-    var response = await agent.RunAsync(messages, session, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-    if (structuredOutputFeature.Response is not null)
-    {
-        return new StructuredOutputResponse<T>(structuredOutputFeature.Response, response, serializerOptions);
-    }
-
-    throw new InvalidOperationException("No structured output response was generated by the agent.");
-}
-```
-
-Users will call the `RunAsync<T>` extension method directly on the agent:
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(name: "HelpfulAssistant", instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.");
-
-AgentResponse<PersonInfo> response = await agent.RunAsync<PersonInfo>("Please provide information about John Smith, who is a 35-year-old software engineer.");
-```
-
-Decision drivers satisfied:
-1. Support arrays and primitives as SO types
-2. Support complex types as SO types
-3. Work with `AIAgent` decorators (e.g., `OpenTelemetryAgent`)
-4. Enable SO for all AI agents, regardless of whether they natively support it
-
-Pros:
-- The `RunAsync<T>` extension method is easily discoverable.
-- The `AIAgent` public API surface remains unchanged.
-- No changes required to `AIAgent` decorators.
-
-Cons:
-- Agents without native SO support will still expose `RunAsync<T>`, which may be misleading.
-- `ChatClientAgent` exposing `RunAsync<T>` may be misleading when the underlying chat client does not support SO.
-
-### 3. `RunAsync<T>` as a method of the new `ITypedAIAgent` interface
-
-This option defines a new `ITypedAIAgent` interface that agents with SO support implement. Agents without SO support do not implement it, allowing users to check for SO capability via interface detection.
-
-The interface:
-```csharp
-public interface ITypedAIAgent
-{
-    Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    ...
-}
-```
-
-Agents with SO support implement this interface:
-```csharp
-public sealed partial class ChatClientAgent : AIAgent, ITypedAIAgent
-{
-    public async Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        ...
-    }
-}
-```
-
-However, `ChatClientAgent` presents a challenge: it can work with chat clients that either support or do not support SO. Implementing the interface does not guarantee 
-the underlying chat client supports SO, which undermines the core idea of using interface detection to determine SO capability.
-
-Additionally, to allow users to access interface methods on decorated agents, all decorators must implement `ITypedAIAgent`. This makes it difficult for users to 
-determine whether the underlying agent actually supports SO, further weakening the purpose of this approach.
-
-Furthermore, users would have to probe the agent type to check if it implements the `ITypedAIAgent` interface and cast it accordingly to access the `RunAsync<T>` methods.
-This adds friction to the user experience. A `RunAsync<T>` extension method for `AIAgent` could be provided to alleviate that.
-
-Given these drawbacks, this option is more complex to implement than the others without providing clear benefits.
-
-Decision drivers satisfied:
-1. Support arrays and primitives as SO types
-2. Support complex types as SO types
-3. Work with `AIAgent` decorators (e.g., `OpenTelemetryAgent`)
-4. Enable SO for all AI agents, regardless of whether they natively support it
-
-Pros:
-- Both the SO decorator and `ChatClientAgent` have compile-time access to the type `T`, allowing them to use the native `IChatClient.GetResponseAsync<T>` API, which handles primitives and collections seamlessly.
-
-Cons:
-- `ChatClientAgent` implementing `ITypedAIAgent` may be misleading when the underlying chat client does not support SO.
-- All `AIAgent` decorators must implement `ITypedAIAgent` to handle `RunAsync<T>` calls.
-- Decorators implementing the interface may mislead users into thinking the underlying agent natively supports SO.
-- Agents must implement all members of `ITypedAIAgent`, not just a core method.
-- Users must check the agent type and cast to `ITypedAIAgent` to access `RunAsync<T>`.
-
-### 4. `RunAsync<T>` as an instance method of `AIAgent` class working via the new `AgentRunOptions.ResponseFormat` property
-
-This option adds a `ResponseFormat` property of type `ChatResponseFormat` to `AgentRunOptions`. Agents that support SO check for the presence of 
-this property in the options passed to `RunAsync` to determine whether structured output is requested. If present, they use the schema from `ResponseFormat` 
-to invoke the underlying API and obtain the SO response.
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentRunOptions
-{
-    public ChatResponseFormat? ResponseFormat { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-Additionally, a generic `RunAsync<T>` method is added to `AIAgent` that initializes the `ResponseFormat` based on the type `T` and delegates to the non-generic `RunAsync`.
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class AIAgent
-{
-	public async Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunAsync<T>(
-        IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-        AgentSession? session = null,
-        JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-        AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        serializerOptions ??= AgentAbstractionsJsonUtilities.DefaultOptions;
-
-        var responseFormat = ChatResponseFormat.ForJsonSchema<T>(serializerOptions);
-
-        options = options?.Clone() ?? new AgentRunOptions();
-        options.ResponseFormat = responseFormat;
-
-        AgentResponse response = await this.RunAsync(messages, session, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-        return new AgentResponse<T>(response, serializerOptions);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Users call the generic `RunAsync<T>` method directly on the agent:
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(name: "HelpfulAssistant", instructions: "You are a helpful assistant.");
-
-AgentResponse<PersonInfo> response = await agent.RunAsync<PersonInfo>("Please provide information about John Smith, who is a 35-year-old software engineer.");
-```
-
-Decision drivers satisfied:
-1. Support arrays and primitives as SO types
-2. Support complex types as SO types
-3. Work with `AIAgent` decorators (e.g., `OpenTelemetryAgent`)
-4. Enable SO for all AI agents, regardless of whether they natively support it
-
-Pros:
-- The `AIAgent.RunAsync<T>` method is easily discoverable.
-- No changes required to `AIAgent` decorators
-
-Cons:
-- Agents without native SO support will still expose `RunAsync<T>`, which may be misleading.
-- `ChatClientAgent` exposing `RunAsync<T>` may be misleading when the underlying chat client does not support SO.

-## Cross-Cutting Aspects
-
-1. **The `useJsonSchemaResponseFormat` parameter**: The `ChatClientAgent.RunAsync<T>` method has this parameter to enable structured output on LLMs that do not natively support it.
-  It works by adding a user message like "Respond with a JSON value conforming to the following schema:" along with the JSON schema. However, this approach has not been reliable historically. The recommendation is not to carry this parameter forward, regardless of which option is chosen.
-
-2. **Primitives and array types handling**: There are a few options for how primitive and array types can be handled in the Agent Framework:
-
-   1. **Never wrap**, regardless of whether the schema is provided via `ResponseFormat` or `RunAsync<T>`.
-       - Pro: No changes needed; user has full control.
-       - Pro: No issues with unwrapping in streaming scenarios.
-       - Con: User must wrap manually.
-
-   2. **Always wrap**, regardless of whether the schema is provided via `ResponseFormat` or `RunAsync<T>`.
-       - Pro: Consistent wrapping behavior; no manual wrapping needed.
-       - Con: Inconsistent unwrapping behavior; it may be unexpected to have SO result wrapped when schema is provided via `ResponseFormat`.
-       - Con: Impossible to know if SO result is wrapped to unwrap it in streaming scenarios.
-
-   3. **Wrap only for `RunAsync<T>`** and do not wrap the schema provided via `ResponseFormat`.
-       - Pro: No unexpectedly wrapped result when schema is provided via `ResponseFormat`.
-       - Pro: Solves the problem with unwrapping in streaming scenarios.
-
-   4. **User decides** whether to wrap schema provided via `ResponseFormat` using a new `wrapPrimitivesAndArrays` property of `ChatResponseFormatJson`. For SO provided via `RunAsync<T>`, AF always wraps.
-       - Pro: No manual wrapping needed; just flip a switch.
-       - Pro: Solves the problem with unwrapping in streaming scenarios.
-       - Con: Extends the public API surface.
-
-3. **Structured output for agents without native SO support**: Some AI agents in AF do not support structured output natively. This is either because it is not part of the protocol (e.g., A2A agent) or because the agents use LLMs without structured output capabilities.
-   To address this gap, AF can provide the `StructuredOutputAgent` decorator. This decorator wraps any `AIAgent` and adds structured output support by obtaining the text response from the decorated agent and delegating it to a configured chat client for JSON transformation.
-   
-   ```csharp
-   public class StructuredOutputAgent : DelegatingAIAgent
-   {
-        private readonly IChatClient _chatClient;
-
-        public StructuredOutputAgent(AIAgent innerAgent, IChatClient chatClient)
-            : base(innerAgent)
-        {
-            this._chatClient = Throw.IfNull(chatClient);
-        }
-
-        protected override async Task<AgentResponse<T>> RunCoreAsync<T>(
-            IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-            AgentSession? session = null,
-            JsonSerializerOptions? serializerOptions = null,
-            AgentRunOptions? options = null,
-            CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-        {
-            // Run the inner agent first, to get back the text response we want to convert.
-            var textResponse = await this.InnerAgent.RunAsync(messages, session, options, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-            // Invoke the chat client to transform the text output into structured data.
-            ChatResponse<T> soResponse = await this._chatClient.GetResponseAsync<T>(
-                messages:
-                [
-                    new ChatMessage(ChatRole.System, "You are a json expert and when provided with any text, will convert it to the requested json format."),
-                    new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, textResponse.Text)
-                ],
-                serializerOptions: serializerOptions ?? AgentJsonUtilities.DefaultOptions,
-                cancellationToken: cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-
-            return new StructuredOutputAgentResponse(soResponse, textResponse);
-        }
-   }
-   ```
-
-   The decorator preserves the original response from the decorated agent and surfaces it via the `OriginalResponse` property on the returned `StructuredOutputAgentResponse`.
-   This allows users to access both the original unstructured response and the new structured response when using this decorator.
-   ```csharp
-   public class StructuredOutputAgentResponse : AgentResponse
-   {
-       internal StructuredOutputAgentResponse(ChatResponse chatResponse, AgentResponse agentResponse) : base(chatResponse)
-       {
-           this.OriginalResponse = agentResponse;
-       }
-       
-       public AgentResponse OriginalResponse { get; }
-    }
-   ```
-   
-   The decorator can be registered during the agent configuration step using the `UseStructuredOutput` extension method on `AIAgentBuilder`.

-## Decision Outcome
-
-It was decided to keep both approaches for structured output - via `ResponseFormat` and via `RunAsync<T>` since they serve different scenarios and use cases.
-
-For the `RunAsync<T>` approach, option 4 was selected, which adds a generic `RunAsync<T>` method to `AIAgent` that works via the new `AgentRunOptions.ResponseFormat` property.
-This was chosen for its simplicity and because no changes are required to existing `AIAgent` decorators.
-
-For cross-cutting aspects, the `useJsonSchemaResponseFormat` parameter will not be carried forward due to reliability issues.
-
-For handling primitives and array types, option 3 was selected: wrap only for `RunAsync<T>` and do not wrap the schema provided via `ResponseFormat`.
-This avoids the issues described in the Approach 1 section note.
-
-Finally, it was decided not to include the `StructuredOutputAgent` decorator in the framework, since the reliability of producing structured output via an additional
-LLM call may not be sufficient for all scenarios. Instead, this pattern is provided as a sample to demonstrate how structured output can be achieved for agents without native support,
-giving users a reference implementation they can adapt to their own requirements.
