+# Hosted session identity context for Foundry Hosting
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+Server-hosted Foundry agents need a way to scope per-user state (most notably `FoundryMemoryProvider` memories) by the end user that initiated the request. The Foundry platform already injects `x-agent-user-isolation-key` and `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` headers on every Responses request, but the agent-framework hosting layer did not surface those values to `AIContextProvider` instances. The provider's `stateInitializer` only received an `AgentSession?` with no identity attached, so per-user scoping was impossible without out-of-band plumbing.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+- Memory and any future user-private context must be partitioned per end user without per-sample boilerplate.
+- The identity must be **read-only** from the perspective of `AIContextProvider`s, so a buggy or hostile provider cannot escalate or leak across users.
+- The persisted session must validate against the live request on every resume to defend against session-id leak and in-process tampering.
+- The change must work for every existing hosted-agent type (`ChatClientAgent`, `FoundryAgent`, future ones) without per-type refactoring of cast-heavy code paths in `Microsoft.Agents.AI`.
+- Local Docker debugging must remain possible when the platform headers are absent.
+
+## Considered Options
+
+1. **`HostedSessionContext` stored in `AgentSessionStateBag`, exposed via a public read accessor and an `internal` setter.** Hosting writes once on session creation and validates on every resume.
+2. **Specialised `HostedAgentSession : AgentSession` wrapper** that carries `UserId`/`ChatId` properties, with `GetService<ChatClientAgentSession>()` as the unwrap escape hatch.
+3. **New property on `AgentSession` base class** (`HostedSessionContext? HostedContext { get; internal set; }`).
+4. **AsyncLocal middleware** that reads the headers and stuffs them into a per-request `AsyncLocal<HostedSessionContext>` consumed by the provider.
+
+For the source of identity:
+- A. The platform-injected `IsolationContext` exposed by `ResponseContext.Isolation` (typed `UserIsolationKey`/`ChatIsolationKey`).
+- B. The OpenAI Responses spec's top-level `request.User` field.
+- C. A custom HTTP header `x-client-user`.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+**Option 1** was chosen for the storage shape, sourced from **Option A** (`ResponseContext.Isolation`).
+
+Rationale:
+
+- **Wrapper rejected (Option 2).** `ChatClientAgentSession` is `sealed` and `ChatClientAgent` rejects any other session type via direct `is not ChatClientAgentSession` checks at multiple call sites. Wrapping would force non-trivial refactors across `Microsoft.Agents.AI` and a corresponding repeat for every other agent type.
+- **Base-class property rejected (Option 3).** Leaks "hosted" semantics into the universal `AgentSession` abstraction used by Durable, A2A, and CopilotStudio agents that have no notion of a hosted user.
+- **AsyncLocal rejected (Option 4).** Surfaces the concept only locally, requires every consumer to re-implement the bridge, and cannot be enforced as read-only.
+- **`request.User` rejected (Option B).** Set by the caller, not the platform. Forging it client-side trivially defeats per-user partitioning.
+- **`x-client-user` rejected (Option C).** Non-standard, requires custom HTTP plumbing, and duplicates the platform-provided isolation contract.
+
+Implementation summary in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting`:
+
+| Type | Visibility | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `HostedSessionContext` | public sealed | Captures `UserId` and `ChatId` (both required, non-whitespace). |
+| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.GetHostedContext` | public | Read accessor for `AIContextProvider`s. |
+| `HostedSessionContextExtensions.SetHostedContext` | internal | Writer reserved for the hosting assembly. Backed by `AgentSessionStateBag` under a well-known key for serialisation. |
+| `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` (abstract) | public | DI-resolvable factory. Async signature: `ValueTask<HostedSessionContext?> GetKeysAsync(ResponseContext, CreateResponse, CancellationToken)`. |
+| `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` | internal sealed | Default implementation. Maps `context.Isolation.UserIsolationKey` and `context.Isolation.ChatIsolationKey`. Returns `null` when either is absent. |
+
+Behaviour added to `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler.CreateAsync`:
+
+1. Resolve `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` from DI; fall back to `PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider`.
+2. Call `GetKeysAsync(context, request, cancellationToken)`. A `null` result throws `InvalidOperationException` (becomes 500). A null/whitespace `UserId` or `ChatId` is rejected by `HostedSessionContext`'s constructor.
+3. Branch on the **session's existing context**, not on whether a `conversation_id` was supplied:
+   - **No session (`session is null`):** nothing to stamp; skip.
+   - **Session present but un-stamped (`GetHostedContext() is null`):** treat as fresh. This covers both newly-created sessions and pre-existing sessions whose `conversation_id` was provisioned externally (e.g. via `conversations.CreateProjectConversationAsync()`) before the first hosted-agent request. Stamp the resolved identity now.
+   - **Session present with stamped context:** strict resume. The persisted `UserId` and `ChatId` must equal the resolved values exactly. Mismatch throws `ResponsesApiException` with status 403 and body `Hosted session identity context mismatch`.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Positive:
+
+- Per-user memory partitioning works out of the box for any agent that consumes a `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.FoundryMemoryProvider` configured to read `session.GetHostedContext().UserId`.
+- Cross-user session-id leak and in-process tampering of the persisted identity both surface as a 403 with a deliberately uninformative body.
+- The identity is opaque to the framework, matching the platform's semantics. The framework never inspects user identity; the `IsolationContext` keys are pre-partitioned per agent.
+
+Negative:
+
+- Every existing hosted sample fails locally without a `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` registered, because the platform headers are absent outside the platform. Mitigated by shipping `Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup` with `DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider` and `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup`, and migrating all 9 existing responses samples.
+- An attacker who can plant an un-stamped session under a victim's `conversation_id` *before* the victim's first hosted-agent request would be stamped with the attacker's identity on that first request. This is not a regression vs. behaviour without this contract, and is mitigated in practice because the `conversation_id` namespace is allocated by the platform per project. Once a session is stamped, the strict equality check fully defends the resume path.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Per-request `User` field on `CreateResponse` is intentionally not consumed; only the platform `IsolationContext` headers carry trustworthy identity.
+- Generic (non-Foundry) hosting layers can re-define an equivalent type if needed; nothing in this ADR is moved into `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting` because `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting` does not depend on it.
+- HMAC tamper signatures over the persisted context are not implemented; comparison against `ResponseContext.Isolation` on every request is sufficient because the platform sets those headers at the trust boundary.

+# Hosted-MemoryAgent
+
+A hosted Foundry agent that uses **FoundryMemoryProvider** to remember user-private details across
+requests and across sessions, scoped per end user via the Foundry platform's isolation keys. The
+agent plays a friendly travel assistant: tell it about your trip, ask follow-up questions in a new
+session, and it recalls what it learned about you.
+
+This sample exists to demonstrate two things together:
+
+1. How to host an agent that consumes a `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.AIContextProvider` (specifically
+   `FoundryMemoryProvider`) under the Foundry Responses hosting layer.
+2. How the new `HostedSessionContext` flows from the `Foundry` platform isolation headers
+   (`x-agent-user-isolation-key`, `x-agent-chat-isolation-key`) through the
+   `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` into the provider's `stateInitializer`, so memories are
+   partitioned per user automatically.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0)
+- An Azure AI Foundry project with at least one chat model deployment and one embedding model deployment
+- Azure CLI logged in (`az login`)
+
+## Configuration
+
+Copy the template and fill in your values:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Required:
+
+```env
+AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>
+AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=gpt-4o
+AZURE_AI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=text-embedding-ada-002
+AZURE_AI_MEMORY_STORE_ID=hosted-memory-sample
+AGENT_NAME=hosted-memory-agent
+ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8088
+ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
+```
+
+For local container runs only (the platform supplies these in production):
+
+```env
+HOSTED_USER_ISOLATION_KEY=alice
+HOSTED_CHAT_ISOLATION_KEY=alice-chat-1
+```
+
+> `.env` is gitignored. The `.env.example` template is checked in as a reference.
+
+## How memory scoping works
+
+| Layer | Source of the user identity |
+|---|---|
+| Inbound request | The Foundry platform sets `x-agent-user-isolation-key` and `x-agent-chat-isolation-key` headers on every request. |
+| Hosting layer | `AgentFrameworkResponseHandler` resolves a `HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider` from DI and calls `GetKeysAsync(context, request, ct)`. The default implementation reads `context.Isolation.UserIsolationKey` and `context.Isolation.ChatIsolationKey`. |
+| Session | The handler stores the resolved values on the session as a `HostedSessionContext` on the first request, and validates the values on every subsequent request that resumes the same conversation (mismatch returns 403). |
+| Memory provider | The sample's `stateInitializer` reads `session.GetHostedContext().UserId` and uses it as the `FoundryMemoryProviderScope`. Memories are partitioned per user. |
+
+When running outside the Foundry platform the headers are absent. The sample registers
+`DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider` (via `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup`) which
+falls back to the `HOSTED_USER_ISOLATION_KEY` and `HOSTED_CHAT_ISOLATION_KEY` environment variables,
+defaulting to a single `local-dev-*` bucket when neither is set.
+
+> **Production warning.** Never register `DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider` in
+> production. The Foundry platform sets the isolation keys for every inbound request, and
+> client-supplied environment variables can be forged.
+
+## Running directly (contributors)
+
+This project uses `ProjectReference` to build against the local Agent Framework source.
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/04-hosting/FoundryHostedAgents/responses/Hosted-MemoryAgent
+dotnet run
+```
+
+The agent starts on `http://localhost:8088`.
+
+### Test it
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8088/responses \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"input": "Hi! My name is Taylor and I am planning a hiking trip to Patagonia in November.", "model": "hosted-memory-agent"}'
+```
+
+Wait a few seconds for memory extraction, then ask a follow-up using the response id from the
+previous call as `previous_response_id`:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8088/responses \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"input": "What do you already know about my upcoming trip?", "previous_response_id": "<id>", "model": "hosted-memory-agent"}'
+```
+
+## Running with Docker
+
+Since this project uses `ProjectReference`, the standard `Dockerfile` cannot resolve dependencies
+outside this folder. Use `Dockerfile.contributor` which takes a pre-published output.
+
+### 1. Publish for the container runtime (Linux Alpine)
+
+```bash
+dotnet publish -c Debug -f net10.0 -r linux-musl-x64 --self-contained false -o out
+```
+
+### 2. Build the Docker image
+
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile.contributor -t hosted-memory-agent .
+```
+
+### 3. Run the container
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN=$(az account get-access-token --resource https://ai.azure.com --query accessToken -o tsv)
+
+docker run --rm -p 8088:8088 \
+  -e AGENT_NAME=hosted-memory-agent \
+  -e AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN=$AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN \
+  -e HOSTED_USER_ISOLATION_KEY=alice \
+  -e HOSTED_CHAT_ISOLATION_KEY=alice-chat-1 \
+  --env-file .env \
+  hosted-memory-agent
+```
+
+### 4. Smoke test the running container
+
+A scripted smoke test that exercises memory recall and per-user isolation across two simulated
+users is provided at `scripts/smoke.ps1`. From the sample folder:
+
+```powershell
+pwsh ./scripts/smoke.ps1
+```
+
+The script publishes the project, builds the image, runs the container with two distinct
+`HOSTED_USER_ISOLATION_KEY` values, drives a multi-turn conversation per user, asserts that each
+user only sees their own memories, and exits non-zero on failure.
+
+## NuGet package users
+
+If you are consuming the Agent Framework as a NuGet package (not building from source), use the
+standard `Dockerfile` instead of `Dockerfile.contributor`. See the commented section in
+`HostedMemoryAgent.csproj` for the `PackageReference` alternative.
+
+## How it differs from sibling samples
+
+| | Hosted-ChatClientAgent | Hosted-MemoryAgent |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Agent definition** | Inline (`AsAIAgent(model, instructions)`) | Inline, plus `AIContextProviders = [memoryProvider]` |
+| **State** | None beyond the conversation history | Per-user memories persisted in Foundry Memory |
+| **Identity** | Not used | Required: `HostedSessionContext.UserId` flows into the memory scope |
+| **Local dev** | `AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup()` keeps requests succeeding when isolation headers are absent | Same; additionally honours `HOSTED_USER_ISOLATION_KEY` to simulate distinct users |

Peter IbekweandCopilot	c30f104b20	Python: address PR review on declarative toolbox sample Two security fixes for PR #5933: 1. Add safe_mode flag to WorkflowFactory (default True) mirroring AgentFactory. Gates =Env.* exposure inside DeclarativeWorkflowState PowerFx symbols via _safe_mode_context, so workflow YAML loaded from untrusted sources no longer leaks the host's full os.environ snapshot into PowerFx evaluation. The flag is also forwarded to the internally-constructed AgentFactory so inline agent definitions follow the same policy. 2. Pin the invoke_foundry_toolbox_mcp sample's _client_provider to the resolved toolbox endpoint. The bearer-authenticated httpx client is now only returned when MCPToolInvocation.server_url matches the toolbox URL case-insensitively; any other URL gets None (the default unauthenticated path), preventing the Foundry AAD bearer token from being attached to a mis-configured or injected server URL. Mirrors the .NET sample's httpClientProvider guard. The sample is updated to opt in to safe_mode=False because its YAML intentionally uses =Env.FOUNDRY_TOOLBOX_* to keep configuration in env vars under the developer's control.

Merge provider-contributed tools into runtime_options in both _run_impl and _stream_updates before session creation, mirroring how RawAgent handles the merge at lines 1435-1440 in _agents.py.

SergeyMenshykh GitHub Copilot	19b2367366	Python: Parse YAML block scalars in SKILL.md frontmatter (#5863 ) The frontmatter parser previously matched only single-line `key: value` pairs, so block scalar indicators (`\|` literal, `>` folded, with chomping `-`/`+`) were silently truncated to the indicator character. Multi-line descriptions like `description: >\n ...` lost their content. Add `_parse_yaml_scalar_value()` which detects block scalar indicators, collects indented continuation lines, strips the common leading indentation, joins per scalar style (newlines for `\|`, spaces for `>`), and applies chomping per the YAML 1.2 spec. Update `_extract_frontmatter()` to use the helper for unquoted values. Adds 15 unit tests covering literal/folded styles, all chomping variants, indentation handling, content containing colons, non-description fields, tab indentation, blank-line preservation, and a regression test for plain values. Fixes #5713. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-05-15 09:47:00 +00:00
Roger BarretoandGitHub	ad95f2f2fa	.NET: Add Hosted-MemoryAgent sample with isolation key plumbing (#5692 ) (#5702 ) * .NET: Add Hosted-MemoryAgent sample with isolation key plumbing (#5692) Adds HostedSessionContext + HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider in Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting so AIContextProviders (notably FoundryMemoryProvider) can scope per user via the platform's x-agent-user-isolation-key / x-agent-chat-isolation-key headers. - New types: HostedSessionContext (sealed), HostedSessionContextExtensions (public Get, internal Set), abstract HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider (async), internal PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider mapping ResponseContext.Isolation. - AgentFrameworkResponseHandler now resolves the provider, tags fresh sessions, and validates resumed sessions against the live request (strict 403 'Hosted session identity context mismatch' on any mismatch; 500 on null keys). - New shared sample project Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup hosts DevTemporaryTokenCredential and DevTemporaryLocalSessionIsolationKeyProvider plus AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup. All 9 existing responses samples migrated to consume it so local runs keep working under the strict isolation contract. - New Hosted-MemoryAgent sample: travel assistant wired through FoundryMemoryProvider with stateInitializer reading session.GetHostedContext().UserId. Includes Dockerfile, smoke.ps1, agent.yaml/manifest. - New IT scenario 'memory' in Foundry.Hosting.IntegrationTests + MemoryHostedAgentFixture + MemoryHostedAgentTests. Verified end to end against the tao Foundry project. - ADR 0026 captures the design tree. * Address PR review feedback - Dockerfile: add header noting it targets NuGet builds; contributors must use Dockerfile.contributor for ProjectReference source builds. - PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider: doc said 'returns context with empty values'; corrected to 'returns null' which the handler treats as 500. - FakeHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider: doc clarifies that null configurations are allowed for testing the handler error path. - HostedSessionContextExtensions.SetHostedContext: enforce write-once with InvalidOperationException; doc + xml exception updated. - AgentFrameworkResponseHandler: cache PlatformHostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider as static readonly to avoid per-request allocation. - MemoryHostedAgentTests: tighten waits from 20s to 5s (FoundryMemoryProvider defaults UpdateDelay=0; ingestion ~3s). - Sample Program.cs imports reordered to satisfy IDE0005. * Add HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes built-in helpers (#5692) Addresses review feedback from @lokitoth on Hosted-MemoryAgent/Program.cs:54. - New HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes static class with PerUser, PerChat, PerUserAndChat factories returning Func<AgentSession?, FoundryMemoryProvider.State>. - All helpers throw InvalidOperationException when GetHostedContext() is null, with a message pointing at writing a custom stateInitializer for non-hosted scenarios. - New HostedFoundryMemoryScope enum and AddHostedFoundryMemoryProvider DI extension (two overloads: explicit AIProjectClient and DI-resolved). Singleton lifetime. Default scope = PerUser. - Hosted-MemoryAgent sample and the memory IT scenario container both swap their inline lambdas for HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes.PerUser(). - 14 new unit tests (241/241 hosting unit tests pass). * Replace HostedFoundryMemoryScope enum with Func<...> parameter (#5692) Address PR review feedback from @westey-m: enums are a breaking-change hazard when extended, and the enum was redundant with the existing HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes static class. - Delete HostedFoundryMemoryScope.cs. - AddHostedFoundryMemoryProvider DI extensions now take Func<AgentSession?, FoundryMemoryProvider.State>? stateInitializer = null. When null, default to HostedFoundryMemoryProviderScopes.PerUser(). - Callers pick a built-in helper (PerUser/PerChat/PerUserAndChat) or pass a custom delegate. New built-ins are a single static method addition with zero impact on existing callers. - Tests updated; 244/244 hosting unit tests pass. * Fix isolation context resume for externally-created conversations (#5692) Branch on the session's existing hosted-context (not on conversation_id presence) so a conversation provisioned externally (e.g. via conversations.CreateProjectConversationAsync) is treated as fresh on first hosted-agent request and stamped, rather than rejected with 403 hosted_session_identity_mismatch. Strict equality is preserved on real resume of an already-stamped session. Also tighten dotnet/global.json to version 10.0.204 + rollForward latestPatch so local builds match the CI Docker image SDK and avoid 10.0.300 dotnet format stripping required usings. * Revert global.json SDK pin to upstream (#5692) The 10.0.204 + latestPatch pin from the previous commit broke the dotnet-format CI job (hostfxr_resolve_sdk2 could not find a compatible SDK in the mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0 image). Restore upstream 10.0.200 + minor; local Release builds with SDK 10.0.300 should set GITHUB_ACTIONS=true to bypass the auto-format-on-build target.	2026-05-15 05:42:12 +00:00
