+# Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
+
+- .NET 8.0 SDK or later
+- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
+- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
+
+**Note**: This demo uses Azure CLI credentials for authentication. Make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Azure Foundry resource. For more information, see the [Azure CLI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively).
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project" # Replace with your Azure Foundry resource endpoint
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini

+This sample demonstrates how to expose an existing AI agent as an MCP tool.
+
+## Run the sample
+
+To run the sample, please use one of the following MCP clients: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/clients
+
+Alternatively, use the QuickstartClient sample from this repository: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/tree/main/samples/QuickstartClient
+
+## Run the sample using MCP Inspector
+
+To use the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector), follow these steps:
+
+1. Open a terminal in the Agent_Step10_AsMcpTool project directory.
+1. Run the `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector dotnet run` command to start the MCP Inspector. Make sure you have [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and npm installed.
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector dotnet run
+   ```
+1. When the inspector is running, it will display a URL in the terminal, like this:
+   ```
+   MCP Inspector is up and running at http://127.0.0.1:6274
+   ```
+1. Open a web browser and navigate to the URL displayed in the terminal. If not opened automatically, this will open the MCP Inspector interface.
+1. In the MCP Inspector interface, add the following environment variables to allow your MCP server to access Azure AI Foundry Project to create and run the agent:
+    - AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT = https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/ # Replace with your Azure AI Foundry Project endpoint
+    - AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME = gpt-4o-mini # Replace with your model deployment name
+1. Find and click the `Connect` button in the MCP Inspector interface to connect to the MCP server.
+1. As soon as the connection is established, open the `Tools` tab in the MCP Inspector interface and select the `Joker` tool from the list.
+1. Specify your prompt as a value for the `query` argument, for example: `Tell me a joke about a pirate` and click the `Run Tool` button to run the tool.
+1. The agent will process the request and return a response in accordance with the provided instructions that instruct it to always start each joke with 'Aye aye, captain!'.

+# Using Images with AI Agents
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use image multi-modality with an AI agent. It shows how to create a vision-enabled agent that can analyze and describe images using Azure OpenAI.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- Creating a persistent AI agent with vision capabilities
+- Sending both text and image content to an agent in a single message
+- Using `UriContent` to Uri referenced images
+- Processing multimodal input (text + image) with an AI agent
+
+## Key features
+
+- **Vision Agent**: Creates an agent specifically instructed to analyze images
+- **Multimodal Input**: Combines text questions with image uri in a single message
+- **Azure OpenAI Integration**: Uses AzureOpenAI LLM agents
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running this sample, ensure you have:
+
+1. An Azure OpenAI project set up
+2. A compatible model deployment (e.g., gpt-4o)
+3. Azure CLI installed and authenticated
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/" # Replace with your Azure OpenAI endpoint
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o" # Replace with your model deployment name (optional, defaults to gpt-4o)
+```
+
+## Run the sample
+
+Navigate to the sample directory and run:
+
+```powershell
+cd Agent_Step11_UsingImages
+dotnet run
+```
+
+## Expected behavior
+
+The sample will:
+
+1. Create a vision-enabled agent named "VisionAgent"
+2. Send a message containing both text ("What do you see in this image?") and a Uri image of a green walk
+3. The agent will analyze the image and provide a description
+4. Clean up resources by deleting the thread and agent

+# Agent Middleware 
+
+This sample demonstrates how to add middleware to intercept:
+- Chat client calls (global and per‑request)
+- Agent runs (guardrails and PII filtering)
+- Function calling (logging/override)
+
+## What This Sample Shows
+
+1. Azure OpenAI integration via `AzureOpenAIClient` and `AzureCliCredential`
+2. Chat client middleware using `ChatClientBuilder.Use(...)`
+3. Agent run middleware (PII redaction and wording guardrails)
+4. Function invocation middleware (logging and overriding a tool result)
+5. Per‑request chat client middleware
+6. Per‑request function pipeline with approval
+7. Combining agent‑level and per‑request middleware
+
+## Function Invocation Middleware
+
+Not all agents support function invocation middleware.
+
+Attempting to use function middleware on agents that do not wrap a ChatClientAgent or derives from it will throw an InvalidOperationException.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. Environment variables:
+   - `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT`: Your Azure OpenAI endpoint
+   - `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME`: Chat deployment name (optional; defaults to `gpt-4o`)
+2. Sign in with Azure CLI (PowerShell):
+   ```powershell
+   az login
+   ```
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+Use PowerShell:
+```powershell
+cd dotnet/samples/GettingStarted/Agents/Agent_Step14_Middleware
+dotnet run
+```
