+# Single Agent Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create a simple Azure Functions app that hosts a single AI agent and provides direct HTTP API access for interactive conversations.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Using the Microsoft Agent Framework to define a simple AI agent with a name and instructions.
+- Registering agents with the Function app and running them using HTTP.
+- Conversation management (via session IDs) for isolated interactions.
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request to the agent endpoint.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to send a message to the agent, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d "Tell me a joke about a pirate."
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body "Tell me a joke about a pirate."
+```
+
+You can also send JSON requests:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -H "Accept: application/json" \
+    -d '{"message": "Tell me a joke about a pirate."}'
+```
+
+To continue a conversation, include the `thread_id` in the query string or JSON body:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run?thread_id=your-thread-id" \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -H "Accept: application/json" \
+    -d '{"message": "Tell me another one."}'
+```
+
+The response from the agent will be displayed in the terminal where you ran `func start`. The expected `text/plain` output will look something like:
+
+```text
+Why don't pirates ever learn the alphabet? Because they always get stuck at "C"!
+```
+
+The expected `application/json` output will look something like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "status": 200,
+  "thread_id": "ee6e47a0-f24b-40b1-ade8-16fcebb9eb40",

+# Single Agent Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create a simple Azure Functions app that orchestrates sequential calls to a single AI agent using the same conversation thread for context continuity.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Orchestrating multiple interactions with the same agent in a deterministic order
+- Using the same `AgentThread` across multiple calls to maintain conversational context
+- Durable orchestration with automatic checkpointing and resumption from failures
+- HTTP API integration for starting and monitoring orchestrations
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request to start the orchestration.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to start the orchestration, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/singleagent/run
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/singleagent/run
+```
+
+The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following, which indicates that the orchestration has started.
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Single-agent orchestration started.",
+  "instanceId": "86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff",
+  "statusQueryGetUri": "http://localhost:7071/api/singleagent/status/86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff"
+}
+```
+
+The orchestration will proceed to run the WriterAgent twice in sequence:
+
+1. First, it writes an inspirational sentence about learning
+2. Then, it refines the initial output using the same conversation thread
+
+Once the orchestration has completed, you can get the status of the orchestration by sending a GET request to the `statusQueryGetUri` URL. The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+    "failureDetails": null,
+    "input": null,
+    "instanceId": "86313f1d45fb42eeb50b1852626bf3ff",
+    "output": "Learning serves as the key, opening doors to boundless opportunities and a brighter future.",
+    "runtimeStatus": "Completed"
+}
+```

+# Multi-Agent Concurrent Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create an Azure Functions app that orchestrates concurrent execution of multiple AI agents, each with specialized expertise, to provide comprehensive answers to complex questions.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Multi-agent orchestration with specialized AI agents (physics and chemistry)
+- Concurrent execution using the fan-out/fan-in pattern for improved performance and distributed processing
+- Response aggregation from multiple agents into a unified result
+- Durable orchestration with automatic checkpointing and resumption from failures
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request with a custom prompt to the orchestration.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to send a message to the agents, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/multiagent/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d "What is temperature?"
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/multiagent/run `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body "What is temperature?"
+```
+
+The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following, which indicates that the orchestration has started.
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Multi-agent concurrent orchestration started.",
+  "prompt": "What is temperature?",
+  "instanceId": "e7e29999b6b8424682b3539292afc9ed",
+  "statusQueryGetUri": "http://localhost:7071/api/multiagent/status/e7e29999b6b8424682b3539292afc9ed"
+}
+```
+
+The orchestration will run both the PhysicistAgent and ChemistAgent concurrently, asking them the same question. Their responses will be combined to provide a comprehensive answer covering both physical and chemical aspects.
+
+Once the orchestration has completed, you can get the status of the orchestration by sending a GET request to the `statusQueryGetUri` URL. The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "failureDetails": null,
+  "input": "What is temperature?",
+  "instanceId": "e7e29999b6b8424682b3539292afc9ed",
+  "output": {
+    "physicist": "Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. From a physics perspective, it represents the thermal energy and determines the direction of heat flow between objects.",
+    "chemist": "From a chemistry perspective, temperature is crucial for chemical reactions as it affects reaction rates through the Arrhenius equation. It influences the equilibrium position of reversible reactions and determines the physical state of substances."
+  },
+  "runtimeStatus": "Completed"
+}
+```

+# Multi-Agent Orchestration with Conditionals Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create a multi-agent orchestration workflow that includes conditional logic. The workflow implements a spam detection system that processes emails and takes different actions based on whether the email is identified as spam or legitimate.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Multi-agent orchestration with conditional logic and different processing paths
+- Spam detection using AI agent analysis
+- Structured output from agents for reliable processing
+- Activity functions for integrating non-agentic workflow actions
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request with email data to the orchestration.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to send email data to the agents, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+# Test with a legitimate email
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/spamdetection/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+      "email_id": "email-001",
+      "email_content": "Hi John, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to follow up on our meeting yesterday about the quarterly report. Could you please send me the updated figures by Friday? Thanks!"
+    }'
+
+# Test with a spam email
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/spamdetection/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+      "email_id": "email-002",
+      "email_content": "URGENT! You have won $1,000,000! Click here now to claim your prize! Limited time offer! Do not miss out!"
+    }'
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+# Test with a legitimate email
+$body = @{
+    email_id = "email-001"
+    email_content = "Hi John, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to follow up on our meeting yesterday about the quarterly report. Could you please send me the updated figures by Friday? Thanks!"
+} | ConvertTo-Json
+
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/spamdetection/run `
+    -ContentType application/json `
+    -Body $body
+
+# Test with a spam email
+$body = @{
+    email_id = "email-002"
+    email_content = "URGENT! You have won $1,000,000! Click here now to claim your prize! Limited time offer! Do not miss out!"
+} | ConvertTo-Json
+
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/spamdetection/run `
+    -ContentType application/json `
+    -Body $body
+```
+
+The response from either input will be a JSON object that looks something like the following, which indicates that the orchestration has started.
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Spam detection orchestration started.",
+  "emailId": "email-001",
+  "instanceId": "555dbbb63f75406db2edf9f1f092de95",
+  "statusQueryGetUri": "http://localhost:7071/api/spamdetection/status/555dbbb63f75406db2edf9f1f092de95"
+}
+```
+
+The orchestration will:
+
+1. Analyze the email content using the SpamDetectionAgent
+2. If spam: Mark the email as spam with a reason
+3. If legitimate: Use the EmailAssistantAgent to draft a professional response and "send" it
+
+Once the orchestration has completed, you can get the status of the orchestration by sending a GET request to the `statusQueryGetUri` URL. The response for the legitimate email will be a JSON object that looks something like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "failureDetails": null,
+  "input": {
+    "email_content": "Hi John, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on our meeting yesterday about the quarterly report. Could you please send me the updated figures by Friday? Thanks!",
+    "email_id": "email-001"
+  },
+  "instanceId": "555dbbb63f75406db2edf9f1f092de95",
+  "output": "Email sent: Subject: Re: Follow-Up on Quarterly Report\n\nHi [Recipient's Name],\n\nI hope this message finds you well. Thank you for your patience. I will ensure the updated figures for the quarterly report are sent to you by Friday.\n\nIf you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to reach out.\n\nBest regards,\n\nJohn",
+  "runtimeStatus": "Completed"
+}
+```
+
+The response for the spam email will be a JSON object that looks something like the following, which indicates that the email was marked as spam:
+
+```json
+{
+  "failureDetails": null,
+  "input": {
+    "email_content": "URGENT! You have won $1,000,000! Click here now to claim your prize! Limited time offer! Do not miss out!",
+    "email_id": "email-002"
+  },
+  "instanceId": "555dbbb63f75406db2edf9f1f092de95",
+  "output": "Email marked as spam: The email contains misleading claims of winning a large sum of money and encourages immediate action, which are common characteristics of spam.",
+  "runtimeStatus": "Completed"
+}

+# Multi-Agent Orchestration with Human-in-the-Loop Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create a human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflow using a single AI agent. The workflow uses a writer agent to generate content and requires human approval on every iteration, emphasizing the human-in-the-loop pattern.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- Single-agent orchestration
+- Human-in-the-loop feedback loop using external events (`WaitForExternalEvent`)
+- Activity functions for non-agentic workflow steps
+- Iterative content refinement based on human feedback
+- Custom status tracking for workflow visibility
+- Error handling with maximum retry attempts and timeout handling for human approval
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request with a topic to start the content generation workflow.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to send a topic to the agents, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/run \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+      "topic": "The Future of Artificial Intelligence",
+      "max_review_attempts": 3,
+      "timeout_minutes": 5
+    }'
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$body = @{
+    topic = "The Future of Artificial Intelligence"
+    max_review_attempts = 3
+    timeout_minutes = 5
+} | ConvertTo-Json
+
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/run `
+    -ContentType application/json `
+    -Body $body
+```
+
+The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following, which indicates that the orchestration has started.
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "HITL content generation orchestration started.",
+  "topic": "The Future of Artificial Intelligence",
+  "instanceId": "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6",
+  "statusQueryGetUri": "http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/status/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6"
+}
+```
+
+The orchestration will:
+
+1. Generate initial content using the WriterAgent
+2. Notify the user to review the content
+3. Wait for human feedback via external event (configurable timeout)
+4. If approved by human, publish the content
+5. If rejected by human, incorporate feedback and regenerate content
+6. If approval timeout occurs, treat as rejection and fail the orchestration
+7. Repeat until human approval is received or maximum loop iterations are reached
+
+Once the orchestration is waiting for human approval, you can send approval or rejection using the approval endpoint:
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+# Approve the content
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/approve/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+      "approved": true,
+      "feedback": "Great article! The content is well-structured and informative."
+    }'
+
+# Reject the content with feedback
+curl -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/approve/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 \
+    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{
+      "approved": false,
+      "feedback": "The article needs more technical depth and better examples."
+    }'
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+# Approve the content
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/approve/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 `
+    -ContentType application/json `
+    -Body '{ "approved": true, "feedback": "Great article! The content is well-structured and informative." }'
+
+# Reject the content with feedback
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/hitl/approve/a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6 `
+    -ContentType application/json `
+    -Body '{ "approved": false, "feedback": "The article needs more technical depth and better examples." }'
+```
+
+Once the orchestration has completed, you can get the status by sending a GET request to the `statusQueryGetUri` URL. The response will be a JSON object that looks something like the following:
+
+```json
+{
+  "failureDetails": null,
+  "input": {
+    "topic": "The Future of Artificial Intelligence",
+    "max_review_attempts": 3
+  },
+  "instanceId": "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6",
+  "output": {
+    "content": "The Future of Artificial Intelligence is..."
+  },
+  "runtimeStatus": "Completed",
+  "workflowStatus": "Content published successfully at 2025-10-15T12:00:00Z"
+}
+```

+# Long Running Tools Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Agent Framework (DAFx) to create agents with long running tools. This sample builds on the [05_AgentOrchestration_HITL](../05_AgentOrchestration_HITL) sample by adding a publisher agent that can start and manage content generation workflows. A key difference is that the publisher agent knows the IDs of the workflows it starts, so it can check the status of the workflows and approve or reject them without being explicitly given the context (instance IDs, etc).
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+The same key concepts as the [05_AgentOrchestration_HITL](../05_AgentOrchestration_HITL) sample are demonstrated, but with the following additional concepts:
+
+- **Long running tools**: Using `DurableAgentContext.Current` to start orchestrations from tool calls
+- **Multi-agent orchestration**: Agents can start and manage workflows that orchestrate other agents
+- **Human-in-the-loop (with delegation)**: The agent acts as an intermediary between the human and the workflow. The human remains in the loop, but delegates to the agent to start the workflow and approve or reject the content.
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for more information on how to configure the environment, including how to install and run common sample dependencies.
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+With the environment setup and function app running, you can test the sample by sending an HTTP request to start the agent, which will then trigger the content generation workflow.
+
+You can use the `demo.http` file to send requests to the agent, or a command line tool like `curl` as shown below.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -i -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run \
+    -D headers.txt \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d 'Start a content generation workflow for the topic \"The Future of Artificial Intelligence\"'
+
+# Save the thread ID to a variable and print it to the terminal
+threadId=$(cat headers.txt | grep "x-ms-thread-id" | cut -d' ' -f2)
+echo "Thread ID: $threadId"
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run `
+    -ResponseHeadersVariable ResponseHeaders `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body 'Start a content generation workflow for the topic \"The Future of Artificial Intelligence\"' `
+
+# Save the thread ID to a variable and print it to the console
+$threadId = $ResponseHeaders['x-ms-thread-id']
+Write-Host "Thread ID: $threadId"
+```
+
+The response will be a text string that looks something like the following, indicating that the agent request has been received and will be processed:
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Content-Type: text/plain
+x-ms-thread-id: 351ec855-7f4d-4527-a60d-498301ced36d
+
+The content generation workflow for the topic "The Future of Artificial Intelligence" has been successfully started, and the instance ID is **6a04276e8d824d8d941e1dc4142cc254**. If you need any further assistance or updates on the workflow, feel free to ask!
+```
+
+The `x-ms-thread-id` response header contains the thread ID, which can be used to continue the conversation by passing it as a query parameter (`thread_id`) to the `run` endpoint. The commands above show how to save the thread ID to a `$threadId` variable for use in subsequent requests.
+
+Behind the scenes, the publisher agent will:
+
+1. Start the content generation workflow via a tool call
+1. The workflow will generate initial content using the Writer agent and wait for human approval, which will be visible in the logs
+
+Once the workflow is waiting for human approval, you can send approval or rejection by prompting the publisher agent accordingly (e.g. "Approve the content" or "Reject the content with feedback: The article needs more technical depth and better examples."):
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+# Approve the content
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d 'Approve the content'
+
+# Reject the content with feedback
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d 'Reject the content with feedback: The article needs more technical depth and better examples.'
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+# Approve the content
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body 'Approve the content'
+
+# Reject the content with feedback
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body 'Reject the content with feedback: The article needs more technical depth and better examples.'
+```
+
+Once the workflow has completed, you can get the status by prompting the publisher agent to give you the status.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" \
+    -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
+    -d 'Get the status of the workflow you previously started'
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post `
+    -Uri "http://localhost:7071/api/agents/publisher/run?thread_id=$threadId" `
+    -ContentType text/plain `
+    -Body 'Get the status of the workflow you previously started'
+```
+
+The response from the publisher agent will look something like the following:
+
+```text
+The status of the workflow with instance ID **ab1076d6e7ec49d8a2c2474d09b69ded** is as follows:
+
+- **Execution Status:** Completed
+- **Workflow Status:** Content published successfully at `2025-10-24T20:42:02`
+- **Created At:** `2025-10-24T20:41:40.7531781+00:00`
+- **Last Updated At:** `2025-10-24T20:42:02.1410736+00:00`
+
+The content has been successfully published.

+# Agent as MCP Tool Sample
+
+This sample demonstrates how to configure AI agents to be accessible as both HTTP endpoints and [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) tools, enabling flexible integration patterns for AI agent consumption.
+
+## Key Concepts Demonstrated
+
+- **Multi-trigger Agent Configuration**: Configure agents to support HTTP triggers, MCP tool triggers, or both
+- **Microsoft Agent Framework Integration**: Use the framework to define AI agents with specific roles and capabilities
+- **Flexible Agent Registration**: Register agents with customizable trigger configurations
+- **MCP Server Hosting**: Expose agents as MCP tools for consumption by MCP-compatible clients
+
+## Sample Architecture
+
+This sample creates three agents with different trigger configurations:
+
+| Agent | Role | HTTP Trigger | MCP Tool Trigger | Description |
+|-------|------|--------------|------------------|-------------|
+| **Joker** | Comedy specialist | ✅ Enabled | ❌ Disabled | Accessible only via HTTP requests |
+| **StockAdvisor** | Financial data | ❌ Disabled | ✅ Enabled | Accessible only as MCP tool |
+| **PlantAdvisor** | Indoor plant recommendations | ✅ Enabled | ✅ Enabled | Accessible via both HTTP and MCP |
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the parent directory for complete setup instructions, including:
+
+- Prerequisites installation
+- Azure OpenAI configuration
+- Durable Task Scheduler setup
+- Storage emulator configuration
+
+For this sample, you'll also need to install [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download) in order to use the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector) tool.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Update your `local.settings.json` with your Azure OpenAI credentials:
+
+```json
+{
+  "Values": {
+    "AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT": "https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/",
+    "AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT": "your-deployment-name",
+    "AZURE_OPENAI_KEY": "your-api-key-if-not-using-rbac"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+1. **Start the Function App**:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd dotnet/samples/AzureFunctions/07_AgentAsMcpTool
+   func start
+   ```
+
+2. **Note the MCP Server Endpoint**: When the app starts, you'll see the MCP server endpoint in the terminal output. It will look like:
+
+   ```text
+   MCP server endpoint:  http://localhost:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp
+   ```
+
+## Testing MCP Tool Integration
+
+Any MCP-compatible client can connect to the server endpoint and utilize the exposed agent tools. The agents will appear as callable tools within the MCP protocol.
+
+### Using MCP Inspector
+
+1. Run the [MCP Inspector](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector) from the command line:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
+   ```
+
+1. Connect using the MCP server endpoint from your terminal output
+
+   - For **Transport Type**, select **"Streamable HTTP"**
+   - For **URL**, enter the MCP server endpoint `http://localhost:7071/runtime/webhooks/mcp`
+   - Click the **Connect** button
+
+1. Click the **List Tools** button to see the available MCP tools. You should see the `StockAdvisor` and `PlantAdvisor` tools.
+
+1. Test the available MCP tools:
+
+   - **StockAdvisor** - Set "MSFT ATH" (ATH is "all time high") as the query and click the **Run Tool** button.
+   - **PlantAdvisor** - Set "Low light in Seattle" as the query and click the **Run Tool** button.
+
+You'll see the results of the tool calls in the MCP Inspector interface under the **Tool Results** section. You should also see the results in the terminal where you ran the `func start` command.

+
+## Running the Samples
+
+These samples are designed to be run locally in a cloned repository.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The following prerequisites are required to run the samples:
+
+- [.NET 9.0 SDK or later](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet)
+- [Azure Functions Core Tools](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/functions-run-local) (version 4.x or later)
+- [Azure CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) installed and authenticated (`az login`) or an API key for the Azure OpenAI service
+- [Azure OpenAI Service](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource) with a deployed model (gpt-4o-mini or better is recommended)
+- [Durable Task Scheduler](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-task-scheduler/develop-with-durable-task-scheduler) (local emulator or Azure-hosted)
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed if running the Durable Task Scheduler emulator locally
+
+### Configuring RBAC Permissions for Azure OpenAI
+
+These samples are configured to use the Azure OpenAI service with RBAC permissions to access the model. You'll need to configure the RBAC permissions for the Azure OpenAI service to allow the Azure Functions app to access the model.
+
+Below is an example of how to configure the RBAC permissions for the Azure OpenAI service to allow the current user to access the model.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+az role assignment create \
+    --assignee "yourname@contoso.com" \
+    --role "Cognitive Services OpenAI User" \
+    --scope /subscriptions/<your-subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<your-resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/<your-openai-resource-name>
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+az role assignment create `
+    --assignee "yourname@contoso.com" `
+    --role "Cognitive Services OpenAI User" `
+    --scope /subscriptions/<your-subscription-id>/resourceGroups/<your-resource-group-name>/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/<your-openai-resource-name>
+```
+
+More information on how to configure RBAC permissions for Azure OpenAI can be found in the [Azure OpenAI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=cli).
+
+### Setting an API key for the Azure OpenAI service
+
+As an alternative to configuring Azure RBAC permissions, you can set an API key for the Azure OpenAI service by setting the `AZURE_OPENAI_KEY` environment variable.
+
+Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_KEY="your-api-key"
+```
+
+### Start Durable Task Scheduler
+
+Most samples use the Durable Task Scheduler (DTS) to support hosted agents and durable orchestrations. DTS also allows you to view the status of orchestrations and their inputs and outputs from a web UI.
+
+To run the Durable Task Scheduler locally, you can use the following `docker` command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name dts-emulator -p 8080:8080 -p 8082:8082 mcr.microsoft.com/dts/dts-emulator:latest
+```
+
+The DTS dashboard will be available at `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+### Start the Azure Storage Emulator
+
+All Function apps require an Azure Storage account to store functions-specific state. You can use the Azure Storage Emulator to run a local instance of the Azure Storage service.
+
+You can run the Azure Storage emulator locally as a standalone process or via a Docker container.
+
+#### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name storage-emulator -p 10000:10000 -p 10001:10001 -p 10002:10002 mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite
+```
+
+#### Standalone
+
+```bash
+npm install -g azurite
+azurite
+```
+
+### Environment Configuration
+
+Each sample has its own `local.settings.json` file that contains the environment variables for the sample. You'll need to update the `local.settings.json` file with the correct values for your Azure OpenAI resource.
+
+```json
+{
+  "Values": {
+    "AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT": "https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/",
+    "AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT": "your-deployment-name"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can set the environment variables in the command line.
+
+### Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL)
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
+export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT="your-deployment-name"
+```
+
+### PowerShell
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT="your-deployment-name"
+```
+
+These environment variables, when set, will override the values in the `local.settings.json` file, making it convenient to test the sample without having to update the `local.settings.json` file.
+
+### Start the Azure Functions app
+
+Navigate to the sample directory and start the Azure Functions app:
+
+```bash
+cd dotnet/samples/AzureFunctions/01_SingleAgent
+func start
+```
+
+The Azure Functions app will be available at `http://localhost:7071`.
+
+### Test the Azure Functions app
+
+The README.md file in each sample directory contains instructions for testing the sample. Each sample also includes a `demo.http` file that can be used to test the sample from the command line. These files can be opened in VS Code with the [REST Client](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client) extension or in the Visual Studio IDE.
+
+### Viewing the sample output
+
+The Azure Functions app logs are displayed in the terminal where you ran `func start`. This is where most agent output will be displayed. You can adjust logging levels in the `host.json` file as needed.
+
+You can also see the state of agents and orchestrations in the DTS dashboard.

+# Using Function Tools from OpenAPI Specifications
+
+This sample demonstrates how to create function tools from an OpenAPI specification and use them with AI agents.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- Loading OpenAPI specifications from files
+- Converting OpenAPI specifications to Semantic Kernel plugins
+- Converting Semantic Kernel plugins to AI function tools
+- Using OpenAPI-based function tools with AI agents
+- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
+
+## 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
+```
+
+## Run the sample
+
+Navigate to the FoundryAgents sample directory and run:
+
+```powershell
+cd dotnet/samples/GettingStarted/FoundryAgents
+dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step03.2_UsingFunctionTools_FromOpenAPI
+```
+
+## Expected behavior
+
+The sample will:
+
+1. Load the OpenAPI specification from OpenAPISpec.json (GitHub API)
+2. Convert the OpenAPI spec to Semantic Kernel plugins
+3. Create an agent named "GitHubAssistant" with the OpenAPI-based function tools
+4. Run the agent with a prompt to query GitHub repositories
+5. The agent will invoke the appropriate OpenAPI function tools to retrieve data
+6. Clean up resources by deleting the agent

+# Using Function Tools with Approvals (Human-in-the-Loop)
+
+This sample demonstrates how to use function tools that require human approval before execution, implementing a human-in-the-loop workflow.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- Creating approval-required function tools using ApprovalRequiredAIFunction
+- Handling user input requests for function approvals
+- Implementing human-in-the-loop approval workflows
+- Processing agent responses with pending approvals
+- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
+
+## 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
+```
+
+## Run the sample
+
+Navigate to the FoundryAgents sample directory and run:
+
+```powershell
+cd dotnet/samples/GettingStarted/FoundryAgents
+dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step04_UsingFunctionToolsWithApprovals
+```
+
+## Expected behavior
+
+The sample will:
+
+1. Create an agent named "WeatherAssistant" with an approval-required GetWeather function tool
+2. Run the agent with a prompt asking about weather
+3. The agent will request approval before invoking the GetWeather function
+4. The sample will prompt the user to approve or deny the function call (enter 'Y' to approve)
+5. After approval, the function will be executed and the result returned to the agent
+6. Clean up resources by deleting the agent
+
+**Note**: For hosted agents with remote users, combine this sample with the Persisted Conversations sample to persist chat history while waiting for user approval.
