-          ### 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

-### Addendum (2026-02-17): Provider-scoped hook state and default source IDs
-
-This addendum introduces a **breaking change** that supersedes earlier references in this ADR where hooks received the
-entire `session.state` object as their `state` parameter.
-
-#### Hook state contract
-
-- `before_run` and `after_run` now receive a **provider-scoped** mutable state dict.
-- The framework passes `session.state.setdefault(provider.source_id, {})` to hook `state`.
-- Cross-provider/global inspection remains available through `session.state` on `AgentSession`.
-
-#### Session requirement and fallback behavior
-
-- Provider hooks must use session-backed scoped state; there is no ad-hoc `{}` fallback state.
-- If providers run without a caller-supplied session, the framework creates an internal run-scoped `AgentSession` and
-  passes provider-scoped state from that session.
-
-#### Migration guidance
-
-Migrate provider implementations and samples from nested access to scoped access:
-
-- `state[self.source_id]["key"]` → `state["key"]`
-- `state.setdefault(self.source_id, {})["key"]` → `state["key"]`
-
-#### DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID standardization
-
-Aligned with and extending [PR #3944](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/3944), all built-in/connector
-providers in this surface now define a `DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID` and allow constructor override via `source_id`.
-
-Naming convention:
-
-- snake_case
-- close to the provider class name
-- history providers may use `*_memory` where differentiation is useful
-
-Defaults introduced by this change:
-
-- `InMemoryHistoryProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "in_memory"`
-- `Mem0ContextProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "mem0"`
-- `RedisContextProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "redis"`
-- `RedisHistoryProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "redis_memory"`
-- `AzureAISearchContextProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "azure_ai_search"`
-- `FoundryMemoryProvider.DEFAULT_SOURCE_ID = "foundry_memory"`

-# AdditionalProperties for AIAgent and AgentSession
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-The `AIAgent` base class currently exposes `Id`, `Name`, and `Description` as its core metadata properties, and `AgentSession` exposes only a `StateBag` property.
-Neither type has a mechanism for attaching arbitrary metadata, such as protocol-specific descriptors (e.g., A2A agent cards), hosting attributes, session-level tags, or custom user-defined metadata for discovery and routing.
-
-Other types in the framework already carry `AdditionalProperties` — notably `AgentRunOptions`, `AgentResponse`, and `AgentResponseUpdate` — all using `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` from `Microsoft.Extensions.AI`.
-Adding a similar property to `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` would give both types a consistent, extensible metadata surface.
-
-Related: [Work Item #2133](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/issues/2133)
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- **Consistency**: Other core types (`AgentRunOptions`, `AgentResponse`, `AgentResponseUpdate`) already expose `AdditionalProperties`. `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` are the major abstractions that lack this.
-- **Extensibility**: Hosting libraries, protocol adapters (A2A, AG-UI), and discovery mechanisms need a place to attach agent-level and session-level metadata without subclassing.
-- **Simplicity**: The solution should be easy to understand and use; avoid over-engineering.
-- **Minimal breaking change**: The addition should not require changes to existing agent implementations.
-- **Clear semantics**: Users should understand what `AdditionalProperties` on an agent or session means and how it differs from `AdditionalProperties` on `AgentRunOptions`.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-### Surface Area
-
-- **Option A**: Public get-only property, auto-initialized (`AdditionalPropertiesDictionary AdditionalProperties { get; } = new()`) on both `AIAgent` and `AgentSession`
-- **Option B**: Public get/set nullable property (`AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }`) on both `AIAgent` and `AgentSession`
-- **Option C**: Constructor-injected dictionary with public get-only accessor on both `AIAgent` and `AgentSession`
-- **Option D**: External container/wrapper object — metadata lives outside `AIAgent` and `AgentSession`; no changes to the base classes
-
-### Semantics
-
-- **Option 1**: Metadata only — describes the agent or session; not propagated when calling `IChatClient`
-- **Option 2**: Passed down the stack — merged into `ChatOptions.AdditionalProperties` during `ChatClientAgent` runs
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-The chosen option is **Option D + Option 1**: an external container/wrapper object, used purely as metadata.
-
-### Consequences
-
-- Good, because `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` remain unchanged, avoiding any increase to the core framework surface area while still enabling extensible metadata.
-- Good, because an external wrapper (owned by hosting/protocol libraries or user code, not the `AIAgent` / `AgentSession` base classes) can internally use `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` to stay consistent with existing patterns on `AgentRunOptions`, `AgentResponse`, and `AgentResponseUpdate`.
-- Good, because metadata-only semantics keep a clean separation from per-run extensibility (`AgentRunOptions.AdditionalProperties`) and avoid unexpected side effects during agent execution.
-- Good, because no additional allocation occurs on `AIAgent` or `AgentSession` when no metadata is needed; external wrappers can be created only when metadata is required.
-- Bad, because callers and libraries must manage and pass around both the agent/session instance and its associated metadata wrapper, keeping them correctly associated.
-- Bad, because different hosting or protocol layers may define their own wrapper types, which can fragment the ecosystem unless conventions are agreed upon.
-
-## Pros and Cons of the Options
-
-### Option A — Public get-only property, auto-initialized
-
-The property is always non-null and ready to use. Users add metadata after construction.
-
-```csharp
-public abstract partial class AIAgent
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary AdditionalProperties { get; } = new();
-}
-
-public abstract partial class AgentSession
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary AdditionalProperties { get; } = new();
-}
-
-// Usage
-agent.AdditionalProperties["protocol"] = "A2A";
-agent.AdditionalProperties.Add<MyAgentCardInfo>(cardInfo);
-session.AdditionalProperties["tenant"] = tenantId;
-```
-
-- Good, because users never encounter `null` — no defensive null checks needed.
-- Good, because the dictionary reference cannot be replaced, preventing accidental data loss.
-- Good, because it is the simplest API surface to use.
-- Neutral, because it always allocates, even when no metadata is needed. The allocation cost is negligible.
-- Bad, because it cannot be set at construction time as a single object (users must populate it post-construction).
-
-### Option B — Public get/set nullable property
-
-Matches the existing pattern on `AgentRunOptions`, `AgentResponse`, and `AgentResponseUpdate`.
-
-```csharp
-public abstract partial class AIAgent
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
-}
-
-public abstract partial class AgentSession
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
-}
-
-// Usage
-agent.AdditionalProperties ??= new();
-agent.AdditionalProperties["protocol"] = "A2A";
-session.AdditionalProperties ??= new();
-session.AdditionalProperties["tenant"] = tenantId;
-```
-
-- Good, because it is consistent with the existing `AdditionalProperties` pattern on `AgentRunOptions` and `AgentResponse`.
-- Good, because it avoids allocation when no metadata is needed.
-- Bad, because every consumer must null-check before reading or writing.
-- Bad, because the entire dictionary can be replaced, risking accidental loss of metadata set by other components (e.g., a hosting library sets metadata, then user code replaces the dictionary).
-
-### Option C — Constructor-injected with public get
-
-The dictionary is provided at construction time and exposed as get-only.
-
-```csharp
-public abstract partial class AIAgent
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary AdditionalProperties { get; }
-
-    protected AIAgent(AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? additionalProperties = null)
-    {
-        this.AdditionalProperties = additionalProperties ?? new();
-    }
-}
-
-public abstract partial class AgentSession
-{
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary AdditionalProperties { get; }
-
-    protected AgentSession(AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? additionalProperties = null)
-    {
-        this.AdditionalProperties = additionalProperties ?? new();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-- Good, because an agent's metadata can be established before any code runs against it.
-- Bad, because `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` has no read-only variant, so the constructor-injection pattern gives a false sense of immutability — callers can still mutate the dictionary contents after construction.
-- Bad, because it requires adding a constructor parameter to the abstract base classes, which is a source-breaking change for all existing `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` subclasses (even with a default value, it changes the constructor signature that derived classes chain to).
-- Bad, because it is more complex with little practical benefit over Option A, since post-construction mutation is equally possible.
-
-### Option D — External container/wrapper object
-
-Rather than adding `AdditionalProperties` to `AIAgent` or `AgentSession`, users wrap the agent or session in a container object that carries both the instance and any associated metadata. No changes to the base classes are required.
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentWithMetadata
-{
-    public required AIAgent Agent { get; init; }
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
-}
-
-public class SessionWithMetadata
-{
-    public required AgentSession Session { get; init; }
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? AdditionalProperties { get; set; }
-}
-
-// Usage
-var wrapper = new AgentWithMetadata
-{
-    Agent = myAgent,
-    AdditionalProperties = new() { ["protocol"] = "A2A" }
-};
-```
-
-- Good, because it requires no changes to `AIAgent` or `AgentSession`, avoiding any risk of breaking existing implementations.
-- Good, because metadata is clearly external to the agent and session, eliminating any ambiguity about whether it might be passed down the execution stack.
-- Good, because the container pattern gives the user full control over the metadata lifecycle and serialization.
-- Bad, because it is not discoverable — users must know about the container convention; there is no built-in API surface guiding them.
-
-### Option 1 — Metadata only
-
-`AdditionalProperties` on `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` is descriptive metadata. It is **not** automatically propagated when the agent calls downstream services such as `IChatClient`.
-
-- Good, because it keeps a clean separation of concerns: agent/session-level metadata vs. per-run options.
-- Good, because it avoids unintended side effects — metadata added for discovery or hosting won't leak into LLM requests.
-- Good, because per-run extensibility is already served by `AgentRunOptions.AdditionalProperties` (see [ADR 0014](0014-feature-collections.md)), so there is no gap.
-- Neutral, because users who want to pass agent metadata to the chat client can still do so manually via `AgentRunOptions`.
-
-### Option 2 — Passed down the stack
-
-`AdditionalProperties` on `AIAgent` and `AgentSession` are automatically merged into `ChatOptions.AdditionalProperties` (or similar) when `ChatClientAgent` invokes the underlying `IChatClient`.
-
-- Good, because it provides an automatic way to send agent-level configuration to the LLM provider.
-- Bad, because it conflates metadata (describing the agent) with operational parameters (controlling LLM behavior), leading to potential confusion.
-- Bad, because it risks leaking unrelated metadata into LLM calls (e.g., hosting tags, discovery URLs).
-- Bad, because it would be `ChatClientAgent`-specific behavior on a base-class property, creating inconsistency for non-`ChatClientAgent` implementations.
-- Bad, because it duplicates the purpose of `AgentRunOptions.AdditionalProperties`, which already serves as the per-run extensibility point for passing data down the stack.
-
-## Serialization Considerations
-
-`AIAgent` instances are not typically serialized, so `AdditionalProperties` on `AIAgent` does not raise serialization concerns.
-
-`AgentSession` instances, however, are routinely serialized and deserialized — for example, to persist conversation state across application restarts. Adding `AdditionalProperties` to `AgentSession` introduces a serialization challenge: `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` is a `Dictionary<string, object?>`, and `object?` values do not carry enough type information for the JSON deserializer to reconstruct the original CLR types.
-
-### Default behavior — JsonElement round-tripping
-
-By default, when an `AgentSession` with `AdditionalProperties` is serialized and later deserialized, any complex objects stored as values in the dictionary will be deserialized as `JsonElement` rather than their original types. This is the same behavior exhibited by `ChatMessage.AdditionalProperties` and other `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` usages in `Microsoft.Extensions.AI`, and is the approach we will follow.
-
-### Custom serialization via JsonSerializerOptions
-
-`AIAgent.SerializeSessionAsync` and `AIAgent.DeserializeSessionAsync` already accept an optional `JsonSerializerOptions` parameter. Users who need strongly-typed round-tripping of `AdditionalProperties` values can supply custom options with appropriate converters or type info resolvers. This is non-trivial to implement but provides full control over deserialization behavior when needed.
-
-## More Information
-
-- [ADR 0014 — Feature Collections](0014-feature-collections.md) established that `AdditionalProperties` on `AgentRunOptions` serves as the per-run extensibility mechanism. The proposed agent-level and session-level properties serve a complementary, distinct purpose: static metadata describing the agent or session itself.
-- `AdditionalPropertiesDictionary` is defined in `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` and is already a dependency of `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions`. No new package references are needed.
-- Type-safe access is available via the existing `AdditionalPropertiesExtensions` helper methods (`Add<T>`, `TryGetValue<T>`, `Contains<T>`, `Remove<T>`), which use `typeof(T).FullName` as the dictionary key.

-# AgentSession serialization
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Serializing AgentSessions is done today by calling SerializeSession on the AIAgent instance and deserialization
-is done via the DeserializeSession method on the AIAgent instance.
-
-This approach has some drawbacks:
-
-1. It requires each AgentSession implementation to implement its own serialization logic. This can lead to inconsistencies and errors if not done correctly.
-1. It means that only one serialization format can be supported at a time. If we want to support multiple formats (e.g., JSON, XML, binary), we would need to implement separate serialization logic for each format.
-1. It is not possible to serialize and deserialize lists of AgentSessions, since each need to be handled individually.
-1. Users may not realise that they need to call these specific methods to serialize/deserialize AgentSessions.
-
-The reason why this approach was chosen initially is that AgentSessions may have behaviors that are attached to them and only the agent knows what behaviors to attach.
-These behaviors also have their own state that are attached to the AgentSession.
-The behaviors may have references to SDKs or other resources that cannot be created via standard deserialization mechanisms.
-E.g. an AgentSession may have a custom ChatMessageStore that knows how to store chat history in a specific storage backend and has a reference to the SDK client for that backend.
-When deserializing the AgentSession, we need to make sure that the ChatMessageStore is created with the correct SDK client.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- A. Ability to continue to support custom behaviors (AIContextProviders / ChatHistoryProviders).
-- B. Ability to serialize and deserialize AgentSessions via standard serialization mechanisms, e.g. JsonSerializer.Serialize and JsonSerializer.Deserialize.
-- C. Ability for the caller to access custom providers.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- Option 1: Separate state from behavior, serialize state only and re-attach behavior on first usage
-- Option 2: Separate state from behavior, and only have state on AgentSession
-- Option 3: Keep the current approach of custom Serialize/Deserialize methods
-
-### Option 1: Separate state from behavior, serialize state only and re-attach behavior on first usage
-
-Decision Drivers satisfied: A, B and C (C only partially)
-
-Have separate properties on the AgentSession for state and behavior and mark the behavior property with [JsonIgnore].
-After deserializing the AgentSession, the behavior is null and when the AgentSession is first used by the Agent, the behavior is created and attached to the AgentSession.
-
-This requires polymorphic deserialization to be supported, so that the correct AgentSession subclass and the correct behavior state is created during deserialization.
-Since the implementations for AgentSessions and their behaviors are not all known at compile time, we need a way to register custom AgentSession types and their corresponding behavior types for serialization with System.Text.Json on our JsonUtilities helpers.
-
-A drawback of this approach is that the AgentSession is in an incomplete state after deserialization until it is first used,
-so if a user was to call `GetService<MyBehavior>()` on the AgentSession before it is used by the Agent, it would return null.
-
-Behaviors like ChatMessageStore and AIContextProviders would need to change to support taking state as input and exposing state publicly.
-
-```csharp
-public class ChatClientAgentSession
-{
-    ...
-    public ChatMessageStoreState ChatMessageStoreState { get; }
-    public ChatMessageStore? ChatMessageStore { get; }
-    ...
-}
-
-[JsonPolymorphic(TypeDiscriminatorPropertyName = "$type")]
-[JsonDerivedType(typeof(InMemoryChatMessageStoreState), nameof(InMemoryChatMessageStoreState))]
-public abstract class ChatMessageStoreState
-{
-}
-public class InMemoryChatMessageStoreState : ChatMessageStoreState
-{
-    public IList<ChatMessage> Messages { get; set; } = [];
-}
-
-public abstract class ChatMessageStore<TState>
-    where TState : ChatMessageStoreState
-{
-    ...
-    public abstract TState State { get; }
-    ...
-}
-
-public sealed class InMemoryChatMessageStore : ChatMessageStore<InMemoryChatMessageStoreState>, IList<ChatMessage>
-{
-    private readonly InMemoryChatMessageStoreState _state;
-
-    public InMemoryChatMessageStore(InMemoryChatMessageStoreState? state)
-    {
-        this._state = state ?? new InMemoryChatMessageStoreState();
-    }
-
-    public override InMemoryChatMessageStoreState State => this._state;
-
-    ...
-}
-```
-
-ChatClientAgent factories would need to change to support creating behaviors based on state:
-
-```csharp
-    public Func<ChatMessageStoreFactoryContext, ChatMessageStore>? ChatMessageStoreFactory { get; set; }
-
-    public class ChatMessageStoreFactoryContext
-    {
-        public ChatMessageStoreState? State { get; set; }
-    }
-```
-
-The run behavior of the ChatClientAgent would be as follows:
-
-1. If an AgentSession is provided, check if the ChatMessageStore property is null.
-1. If it is, check if the ChatMessageStoreState property is null.
-    1. If ChatMessageStoreState is null, check if there is a provided ChatMessageStoreFactory.
-        1. If there is, call it with a ChatMessageStoreFactoryContext containing null State to create a default ChatMessageStore behavior, and update the AgentSession with the created behavior and its state.
-        2. If there is not, create a default InMemoryChatMessageStore behavior, and update the AgentSession with the created behavior and its state.
-    1. If ChatMessageStoreState is not null, check if there is a provided ChatMessageStoreFactory.
-        1. If there is, call it with a ChatMessageStoreFactoryContext containing the State to create a ChatMessageStore behavior based on the state.
-        2. If there is not, create an InMemoryChatMessageStore behavior based on the State.
-
-### Option 2: Separate state from behavior, and only have state on AgentSession
-
-Decision Drivers satisfied: A, B and C.
-
-This is similar to Option 1 but instead of having a behavior property on the AgentSession, we only have a StateBag property on the AgentSession.
-Behaviors really make more sense to live with the agent rather than the Session, but state should live on the session.
-When the AgentSession is used by the Agent, the Agent runs the behaviors against the Session, and the behavior stores it's state on the Session StateBag.
-
-This means that users are unable to access the behavior from the AgentSession, e.g. via `AgentSession.GetService<TBehavior>()`.
-
-However, the behaviors can be public properties on the Agent or can be retrieved from the agent via `AIAgent.GetService<MyAIContextProvider>()`.
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentSession
-{
-    ...
-    public AgentSessionStateBag StateBag { get; protected set; } = new();
-    ...
-}
-```
-
-### Option 3: Keep the current approach of custom Serialize/Deserialize methods
-
-Decision Drivers satisfied: A and C
-
-This option keeps the current approach of having custom Serialize/Deserialize methods on the AgentSession and AIAgent.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option:
-
-**Option 2** — separate state from behavior, with only state on the AgentSession — because it satisfies all decision drivers and provides the cleanest separation of concerns. Since not all AgentSession implementations have yet been cleanly separated from their behaviors, AIAgent.SerializeSession and AIAgent.DeserializeSession is kept for the time being, but most session types can be serialized and deserialized directly using JsonSerializer.
-
-### Consequences
-
-- Good, because providers are fully stateless — the same provider instance works correctly across any number of concurrent sessions without risk of state leakage.
-- Good, because `AgentSession` can be serialized and deserialized with standard `System.Text.Json` mechanisms, satisfying decision driver B.
-- Good, because the generic `StateBag` is extensible — new providers can store arbitrary state without requiring changes to the session class.
-- Good, because users can access providers via the agent (e.g. `agent.GetService<InMemoryChatHistoryProvider>()`) satisfying decision driver C.
-- Good, because sessions are always in a complete and valid state after deserialization — there is no "incomplete until first use" problem as in Option 1.
-- Neutral, because providers cannot be accessed directly from the session; callers must go through the agent. This is a minor usability trade-off but keeps the session focused on state only.
-- Bad, because each provider must be disciplined about using `ProviderSessionState<T>` and not storing session-specific data in instance fields. This is a correctness concern for custom provider implementers.

-
-## Document structure
-
-| File | Purpose |
-| --- | --- |
-| `README.md` | Main technical overview: architecture, hosting models, orchestration patterns, and links to samples. |
-| `durable-agents-ttl.md` | Deep-dive on session Time-To-Live (TTL) configuration and behavior. |
-
-Add new sibling documents when a topic is too detailed for the README (e.g., a new feature like reliable streaming or MCP tool exposure). Keep the README focused on orientation and link out to siblings for depth.
-
-## Writing guidelines
-
-- **Audience**: Developers already familiar with the Microsoft Agent Framework who want to understand what durability adds and how to use it.
-- **Host-agnostic first**: Durable agents work in console apps, Azure Functions, and any Durable Task–compatible host. Show host-agnostic patterns (plain orchestration functions, `IServiceCollection` registration) before Azure Functions–specific patterns. Avoid giving the impression that Azure Functions is the only hosting option.
-- **Both languages**: Always include C# and Python examples side by side. Keep them equivalent in functionality.
-- **Callout syntax**: Use GitHub-flavored callouts (`> [!NOTE]`, `> [!IMPORTANT]`, `> [!WARNING]`) rather than bold-text callouts (`> **Note:** ...`).
-- **Line length**: Do not wrap long lines. Rely on text viewers / renderers for line wrapping.
-- **Tables**: Use spaces around pipes in separator rows (`| --- |` not `|---|`).
-- **Code snippets**: Keep them minimal and self-contained. Omit boilerplate (using statements, environment variable reads) unless the snippet is specifically about setup.
-- **Cross-references**: Link to Microsoft Learn for conceptual background (Durable Entities, Durable Task Scheduler, Azure Functions). Link to sibling docs within this directory for feature deep-dives.
-
-## Linting
-
-Run markdownlint on all documents before committing, with line-length checks disabled:
-
-```bash
-markdownlint docs/features/durable-agents/ --disable MD013
-```
-
-## When to update these docs
-
-- A new durable agent feature is added (e.g., a new orchestration pattern, hosting model, or configuration option).
-- The public API surface changes in a way that affects how developers use durable agents.

-# Durable agents
-
-## Overview
-
-Durable agents extend the standard Microsoft Agent Framework with **durable state management** powered by the Durable Task framework. An ordinary Agent Framework agent runs in-process: its conversation history lives in memory and is lost when the process ends. A durable agent persists conversation history and execution state in external storage so that sessions survive process restarts, failures, and scale-out events.
-
-| Capability | Ordinary agent | Durable agent |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Conversation history | In-memory only | Durably persisted |
-| Failure recovery | State lost on crash | Automatically resumed |
-| Multi-instance scale-out | Not supported | Any worker can resume a session |
-| Multi-agent orchestrations | Manual coordination | Deterministic, checkpointed workflows |
-| Human-in-the-loop | Must keep process alive | Can wait days/weeks with zero compute |
-| Hosting | Any process | Console app, Azure Functions, or any Durable Task–compatible host |
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> For a step-by-step tutorial and deployment guidance, see [Azure Functions (Durable)](https://learn.microsoft.com/agent-framework/integrations/azure-functions) on Microsoft Learn.
-
-## How durable agents work
-
-Durable agents are implemented on top of [Durable Entities](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-functions-entities) (also called "virtual actors"). Each **agent session** maps to one entity instance whose state contains the full conversation history. When you send a message to a durable agent, the following happens:
-
-1. The message is dispatched to the entity identified by an `AgentSessionId` (a composite of the agent name and a unique session key).
-2. The entity loads its persisted `DurableAgentState`, which includes the complete conversation history.
-3. The entity invokes the underlying `AIAgent` with the full conversation history, collects the response, and appends both the request and the response to the state.
-4. The updated state is persisted back to durable storage automatically.
-
-Because the entity framework serializes access to each entity instance, concurrent messages to the same session are processed one at a time, eliminating race conditions.
-
-### Agent session identity
-
-Every durable agent session is identified by an `AgentSessionId`, which has two components:
-
-- **Name** – the registered name of the agent (case-insensitive).
-- **Key** – a unique session key (case-sensitive), typically a GUID.
-
-The session ID is mapped to an underlying Durable Task entity ID with a `dafx-` prefix (e.g., `dafx-joker`). This naming convention is consistent across both .NET and Python implementations.
-
-## Architecture
-
-### .NET
-
-The .NET implementation consists of two NuGet packages:
-
-| Package | Purpose |
-| --- | --- |
-| `Microsoft.Agents.AI.DurableTask` | Core durable agent types: `DurableAIAgent`, `AgentEntity`, `DurableAgentSession`, `AgentSessionId`, `DurableAgentsOptions`, and the state model. |
-| `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.AzureFunctions` | Azure Functions hosting integration: auto-generated HTTP endpoints, MCP tool triggers, entity function triggers, and the `ConfigureDurableAgents` extension method on `FunctionsApplicationBuilder`. |
-
-Key types:
-
-- **`DurableAIAgent`** – A subclass of `AIAgent` used *inside orchestrations*. Obtained via `context.GetAgent("agentName")`, it routes `RunAsync` calls through the orchestration's entity APIs so that each call is checkpointed.
-- **`DurableAIAgentProxy`** – A subclass of `AIAgent` used *outside orchestrations* (e.g., from HTTP triggers or console apps). It signals the entity via `DurableTaskClient` and polls for the response.
-- **`AgentEntity`** – The `TaskEntity<DurableAgentState>` that hosts the real agent. It loads the registered `AIAgent` by name, wraps it in an `EntityAgentWrapper`, feeds it the full conversation history, and persists the result.
-- **`DurableAgentSession`** – An `AgentSession` subclass that carries the `AgentSessionId`.
-- **`DurableAgentsOptions`** – Builder for registering agents and configuring TTL.
-
-### Python
-
-The core Python implementation is in the `agent-framework-durabletask` package (`python/packages/durabletask`). Azure Functions hosting (including `AgentFunctionApp`) is in the separate `agent-framework-azurefunctions` package (`python/packages/azurefunctions`).
-
-Key types:
-
-- **`DurableAIAgent`** – A generic proxy (`DurableAIAgent[TaskT]`) implementing `SupportsAgentRun`. Returns a `TaskT` from `run()` — either an `AgentResponse` (client context) or a `DurableAgentTask` (orchestration context, must be `yield`ed).
-- **`DurableAIAgentWorker`** – Wraps a `TaskHubGrpcWorker` and registers agents as durable entities via `add_agent()`.
-- **`DurableAIAgentClient`** – Wraps a `TaskHubGrpcClient` for external callers. `get_agent()` returns a `DurableAIAgent[AgentResponse]`.
-- **`DurableAIAgentOrchestrationContext`** – Wraps an `OrchestrationContext` for use inside orchestrations. `get_agent()` returns a `DurableAIAgent[DurableAgentTask]`.
-- **`AgentEntity`** – Platform-agnostic agent execution logic that manages state, invokes the agent, handles streaming, and calls response callbacks.
-
-## Hosting models
-
-### Azure Functions
-
-The recommended production hosting model. A single call to `ConfigureDurableAgents` (C#) or `AgentFunctionApp` (Python) automatically:
-
-- Registers agent entities with the Durable Task worker.
-- Generates HTTP endpoints at `/api/agents/{agentName}/run` for each registered agent.
-- Supports `thread_id` query parameter / JSON field and the `x-ms-thread-id` response header for session continuity.
-- Supports fire-and-forget via the `x-ms-wait-for-response: false` header (returns HTTP 202).
-- Optionally exposes agents as MCP tools.
-
-**C# example:**
-
-```csharp
-using IHost app = FunctionsApplication
-    .CreateBuilder(args)
-    .ConfigureFunctionsWebApplication()
-    .ConfigureDurableAgents(options => options.AddAIAgent(agent))
-    .Build();
-app.Run();
-```
-
-**Python example:**
-
-```python
-app = AgentFunctionApp(agents=[agent])
-```
-
-### Console apps / generic hosts
-
-For self-hosted or non-serverless scenarios, register durable agents via `IServiceCollection.ConfigureDurableAgents` (.NET) or `DurableAIAgentWorker` (Python) with explicit Durable Task worker and client configuration.
-
-**C# example:**
-
-```csharp
-IHost host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
-    .ConfigureServices(services =>
-    {
-        services.ConfigureDurableAgents(
-            options => options.AddAIAgent(agent),
-            workerBuilder: b => b.UseDurableTaskScheduler(connectionString),
-            clientBuilder: b => b.UseDurableTaskScheduler(connectionString));
-    })
-    .Build();
-```
-
-**Python example:**
-
-```python
-worker = DurableAIAgentWorker(TaskHubGrpcWorker(host_address="localhost:4001"))
-worker.add_agent(agent)
-worker.start()
-```
-
-## Deterministic multi-agent orchestrations
-
-Durable agents can be composed into deterministic, checkpointed workflows using Durable Task orchestrations. The orchestration framework replays orchestrator code on failure, so completed agent calls are not re-executed.
-
-### Patterns
-
-| Pattern | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| **Sequential (chaining)** | Call agents one after another, passing outputs forward. |
-| **Parallel (fan-out/fan-in)** | Run multiple agents concurrently and aggregate results. |
-| **Conditional** | Branch orchestration logic based on structured agent output. |
-| **Human-in-the-loop** | Pause for external events (approvals, feedback) with optional timeouts. |
-
-### Using agents in orchestrations
-
-Inside an orchestration function, obtain a `DurableAIAgent` via the orchestration context. Each agent gets its own session (created with `CreateSessionAsync` / `create_session`), and you can call the same agent multiple times on the same session to maintain conversation context across sequential invocations.
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-static async Task<string> WritingOrchestration(TaskOrchestrationContext context)
-{
-    // Get a durable agent reference — works in any host (console app, Azure Functions, etc.)
-    DurableAIAgent writer = context.GetAgent("WriterAgent");
-
-    // Create a session to maintain conversation context across multiple calls
-    AgentSession session = await writer.CreateSessionAsync();
-
-    // First call: generate an initial draft
-    AgentResponse<TextResponse> draft = await writer.RunAsync<TextResponse>(
-        message: "Write a concise inspirational sentence about learning.",
-        session: session);
-
-    // Second call: refine the draft — the agent sees the full conversation history
-    AgentResponse<TextResponse> refined = await writer.RunAsync<TextResponse>(
-        message: $"Improve this further while keeping it under 25 words: {draft.Result.Text}",
-        session: session);
-
-    return refined.Result.Text;
-}
-```
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-def writing_orchestration(context, _):
-    agent_ctx = DurableAIAgentOrchestrationContext(context)
-
-    # Get a durable agent reference — works in any host (standalone worker, Azure Functions, etc.)
-    writer = agent_ctx.get_agent("WriterAgent")
-
-    # Create a session to maintain conversation context across multiple calls
-    session = writer.create_session()
-
-    # First call: generate an initial draft
-    draft = yield writer.run(
-        messages="Write a concise inspirational sentence about learning.",
-        session=session,
-    )
-
-    # Second call: refine the draft — the agent sees the full conversation history
-    refined = yield writer.run(
-        messages=f"Improve this further while keeping it under 25 words: {draft.text}",
-        session=session,
-    )
-
-    return refined.text
-```
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> In .NET, `DurableAIAgent.RunAsync<T>` deliberately avoids `ConfigureAwait(false)` because the Durable Task Framework uses a custom synchronization context — all continuations must run on the orchestration thread.
-
-## Streaming and response callbacks
-
-Durable agents do not support true end-to-end streaming because entity operations are request/response. However, **reliable streaming** is supported via response callbacks:
-
-- **`IAgentResponseHandler`** (.NET) or **`AgentResponseCallbackProtocol`** (Python) – Implement this interface to receive streaming updates as the underlying agent generates them (e.g., push tokens to a Redis Stream for client consumption).
-- The entity still returns the complete `AgentResponse` after the stream is fully consumed.
-- Clients can reconnect and resume reading from a cursor-based stream (e.g., Redis Streams) without losing messages.
-
-See the **Reliable Streaming** samples for a complete implementation using Redis Streams.
-
-## Session TTL (Time-To-Live)
-
-Durable agent sessions support automatic cleanup via configurable TTL. See [Session TTL](durable-agents-ttl.md) for details on configuration, behavior, and best practices.
-
-## Observability
-
-When using the [Durable Task Scheduler](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-functions/durable/durable-task-scheduler/durable-task-scheduler) as the durable backend, you get built-in observability through its dashboard:
-
-- **Conversation history** – View complete chat history for each agent session.
-- **Orchestration visualization** – See multi-agent execution flows, including parallel branches and conditional logic.
-- **Performance metrics** – Monitor agent response times, token usage, and orchestration duration.
-- **Debugging** – Trace tool invocations and external event handling.
-
-## Samples
-
-- **.NET** – [Console app samples](../../../dotnet/samples/04-hosting/DurableAgents/ConsoleApps/) and [Azure Functions samples](../../../dotnet/samples/04-hosting/DurableAgents/AzureFunctions/) covering single-agent, chaining, concurrency, conditionals, human-in-the-loop, long-running tools, MCP tool exposure, and reliable streaming.
-- **Python** – [Durable Task samples](../../../python/samples/04-hosting/durabletask/) covering single-agent, multi-agent, streaming, chaining, concurrency, conditionals, and human-in-the-loop.

-# Vector Stores and Embeddings
-
-## Overview
-
-This feature ports the vector store abstractions, embedding generator abstractions, and their implementations from Semantic Kernel into Agent Framework. The ported code follows AF's coding standards, feels native to AF, and is structured to allow data models/schemas to be reusable across both frameworks. The embedding abstraction combines the best of SK's `EmbeddingGeneratorBase` and MEAI's `IEmbeddingGenerator<TInput, TEmbedding>`.
-
-| Capability | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| Embedding generation | Generic embedding client abstraction supporting text, image, and audio inputs |
-| Vector store collections | CRUD operations on vector store collections (upsert, get, delete) |
-| Vector search | Unified search interface with `search_type` parameter (`"vector"`, `"keyword_hybrid"`) |
-| Data model decorator | `@vectorstoremodel` decorator for defining vector store data models (supports Pydantic, dataclasses, plain classes, dicts) |
-| Agent tools | `create_search_tool`, `create_upsert_tool`, `create_get_tool`, `create_delete_tool` for agent-usable vector store operations |
-| In-memory store | Zero-dependency vector store for testing and development |
-| 13+ connectors | Azure AI Search, Qdrant, Redis, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cosmos DB, Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, Oracle, SQL Server, FAISS |
-
-## Key Design Decisions
-
-### Embedding Abstractions (combining SK + MEAI)
-- **Both Protocol and Base class** (matching AF's `SupportsChatGetResponse` + `BaseChatClient` pattern):
-  - `SupportsGetEmbeddings` — Protocol for duck-typing
-  - `BaseEmbeddingClient` — ABC base class for implementations (similar to `BaseChatClient`)
-- **Generic input type** (`EmbeddingInputT`, default `str`) from MEAI — allows image/audio embeddings in the future
-- **Generic output type** (`EmbeddingT`, default `list[float]`) from MEAI — supports `list[float]`, `list[int]`, `bytes`, etc.
-- **Generic order**: `[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, EmbeddingOptionsT]` — options last, matching MEAI's `IEmbeddingGenerator<TInput, TEmbedding>` with options appended
-- **TypeVar naming convention**: Use `SuffixT` per AF standard (e.g., `EmbeddingInputT`, `EmbeddingT`, `ModelT`, `KeyT`)
-- `EmbeddingGenerationOptions` TypedDict (inspired by MEAI, matching AF's `ChatOptions` pattern) — `total=False`, includes `dimensions`, `model_id`. No `additional_properties` since each implementation extends with its own fields.
-- Protocol and base class are generic over input, output, and options: `SupportsGetEmbeddings[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsContraT]`, `BaseEmbeddingClient[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsCoT]`
-- **`Embedding[EmbeddingT]` type** in `_types.py` — a lightweight generic class (not Pydantic) with `vector: EmbeddingT`, `model_id: str | None`, `dimensions: int | None` (explicit or computed from vector), `created_at: datetime | None`, `additional_properties: dict[str, Any]`
-- **`GeneratedEmbeddings[EmbeddingT, EmbeddingOptionsT]` type** — a list-like container of `Embedding[EmbeddingT]` objects with `options: EmbeddingOptionsT | None` (stores the options used to generate), `usage: dict[str, Any] | None`, `additional_properties: dict[str, Any]`
-- **No numpy dependency** — return `list[float]` by default; users cast as needed
-
-### Vector Store Abstractions
-- **Port core abstractions without Pydantic for internal classes** — use plain classes
-- **Both Protocol and Base class** for vector store operations (matching AF pattern):
-  - `SupportsVectorUpsert` / `SupportsVectorSearch` — Protocols for duck-typing (follows `Supports<Capability>` naming convention)
-  - `BaseVectorCollection` / `BaseVectorSearch` — ABC base classes for implementations
-  - `BaseVectorStore` — ABC base class for store operations (factory for collections, no protocol needed)
-- **TypeVar naming convention**: `ModelT`, `KeyT`, `FilterT` (suffix T, per AF standard)
-- **Support Pydantic for user-facing data models** — the `@vectorstoremodel` decorator and `VectorStoreCollectionDefinition` should work with Pydantic models, dataclasses, plain classes, and dicts
-- **Remove SK-specific dependencies** — no `KernelBaseModel`, `KernelFunction`, `KernelParameterMetadata`, `kernel_function`, `PromptExecutionSettings`
-- **Embedding types in `_types.py`**, embedding protocol/base class in `_clients.py`
-- **All vector store specific types, enums, protocols, base classes** in `_vectors.py`
-- **Error handling** uses AF's exception hierarchy (e.g., `IntegrationException` variants)
-
-### Package Structure
-- **Embedding types** (`Embedding`, `GeneratedEmbeddings`, `EmbeddingGenerationOptions`) in `agent_framework/_types.py`
-- **Embedding protocol + base class** (`SupportsGetEmbeddings`, `BaseEmbeddingClient`) in `agent_framework/_clients.py`
-- **All vector store specific code** in a new `agent_framework/_vectors.py` module — this includes:
-  - Enums: `FieldTypes`, `IndexKind`, `DistanceFunction`
-  - `VectorStoreField`, `VectorStoreCollectionDefinition`
-  - `SearchOptions`, `SearchResponse`, `RecordFilterOptions`
-  - `@vectorstoremodel` decorator
-  - Serialization/deserialization protocols
-  - `VectorStoreRecordHandler`, `BaseVectorCollection`, `BaseVectorStore`, `BaseVectorSearch`
-  - `SupportsVectorUpsert`, `SupportsVectorSearch` protocols
-- **OpenAI embeddings** in `agent_framework/openai/` (built into core, like OpenAI chat)
-- **Azure OpenAI embeddings** in `agent_framework/azure/` (built into core, follows `AzureOpenAIChatClient` pattern)
-- **Each vector store connector** in its own AF package under `packages/`
-- **In-memory store** in core (no external deps)
-- **TextSearch and its implementations** (Brave, Google) — last phase, separate work

-## Implementation Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Core Embedding Abstractions & OpenAI Implementation ✅ DONE
-**Goal:** Establish the embedding generator abstraction and ship one working implementation.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — adds new types/protocols, no breaking changes.
-**Status:** Merged via PR #4153. Closes sub-issue #4163.
-
-#### 1.1 — Embedding types in `_types.py`
-- `EmbeddingInputT` TypeVar (default `str`) — generic input type for embedding generation
-- `EmbeddingT` TypeVar (default `list[float]`) — generic output embedding vector type
-- `Embedding[EmbeddingT]` generic class: `vector: EmbeddingT`, `model_id: str | None`, `dimensions: int | None` (explicit param or computed from vector length), `created_at: datetime | None`, `additional_properties: dict[str, Any]`
-- `GeneratedEmbeddings[EmbeddingT, EmbeddingOptionsT]` generic class: list-like container of `Embedding[EmbeddingT]` objects with `options: EmbeddingOptionsT | None` (the options used to generate), `usage: dict[str, Any] | None`, `additional_properties: dict[str, Any]`
-- `EmbeddingGenerationOptions` TypedDict (`total=False`): `dimensions: int`, `model_id: str` — follows the same pattern as `ChatOptions`. No `additional_properties` needed since it's a TypedDict and each implementation can extend with its own fields.
-
-#### 1.2 — Embedding generator protocol + base class in `_clients.py`
-- `SupportsGetEmbeddings(Protocol[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsContraT])`: generic over input, output, and options (all with defaults), `get_embeddings(values: Sequence[EmbeddingInputT], *, options: OptionsContraT | None = None) -> Awaitable[GeneratedEmbeddings[EmbeddingT]]`
-- `BaseEmbeddingClient(ABC, Generic[EmbeddingInputT, EmbeddingT, OptionsCoT])`: ABC base class mirroring `BaseChatClient` pattern
-  - `__init__` with `additional_properties`, etc.
-  - Abstract `get_embeddings(...)` for subclasses to implement directly (no `_inner_*` indirection — simpler than chat, no middleware needed)
-- `EmbeddingTelemetryLayer` in `observability.py` — MRO-based telemetry (no closure), `gen_ai.operation.name = "embeddings"`
-
-#### 1.3 — OpenAI embedding generator in `agent_framework/openai/` and `agent_framework/azure/`
-- `RawOpenAIEmbeddingClient` — implements `get_embeddings` via `_ensure_client()` factory
-- `OpenAIEmbeddingClient(OpenAIConfigMixin, EmbeddingTelemetryLayer[str, list[float], OptionsT], RawOpenAIEmbeddingClient[OptionsT])` — full client with config + telemetry layers
-- `OpenAIEmbeddingOptions(EmbeddingGenerationOptions)` — extends with `encoding_format`, `user`
-- `AzureOpenAIEmbeddingClient` in `agent_framework/azure/` — follows `AzureOpenAIChatClient` pattern with `AzureOpenAIConfigMixin`, `load_settings`, Entra ID credential support
-- `AzureOpenAISettings` extended with `embedding_deployment_name` (env var: `AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME`)
-
-#### 1.4 — Tests and samples
-- Unit tests for types, protocol, base class, OpenAI client, Azure OpenAI client
-- Integration tests for OpenAI and Azure OpenAI (gated behind credentials check, `@pytest.mark.flaky`)
-- Samples in `samples/02-agents/embeddings/` — `openai_embeddings.py`, `azure_openai_embeddings.py`
-
----
-
-### Phase 2: Embedding Generators for Existing Providers
-**Goal:** Add embedding generators to all existing AF provider packages that have chat clients.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — each is independent, added to existing provider packages.
-
-#### 2.1 — Azure AI Inference embedding (in `packages/azure-ai/`)
-#### 2.2 — Ollama embedding (in `packages/ollama/`)
-#### 2.3 — Anthropic embedding (in `packages/anthropic/`)
-#### 2.4 — Bedrock embedding (in `packages/bedrock/`)
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: Core Vector Store Abstractions
-**Goal:** Establish all vector store types, enums, the decorator, collection definition, and base classes.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — adds new abstractions, no breaking changes.
-
-#### 3.1 — Vector store enums and field types in `_vectors.py`
-- `FieldTypes` enum: `KEY`, `VECTOR`, `DATA`
-- `IndexKind` enum: `HNSW`, `FLAT`, `IVF_FLAT`, `DISK_ANN`, `QUANTIZED_FLAT`, `DYNAMIC`, `DEFAULT`
-- `DistanceFunction` enum: `COSINE_SIMILARITY`, `COSINE_DISTANCE`, `DOT_PROD`, `EUCLIDEAN_DISTANCE`, `EUCLIDEAN_SQUARED_DISTANCE`, `MANHATTAN`, `HAMMING`, `DEFAULT`
-- No `SearchType` enum — use `Literal["vector", "keyword_hybrid"]` instead, per AF convention of avoiding unnecessary imports
-- `VectorStoreField` plain class (not Pydantic)
-- `VectorStoreCollectionDefinition` class (not Pydantic internally, but supports Pydantic models as input)
-- `SearchOptions` plain class — includes `score_threshold: float | None` for filtering results by score (see note below)
-- `SearchResponse` generic class
-- `RecordFilterOptions` plain class
-- `DISTANCE_FUNCTION_DIRECTION_HELPER` dict
-
-#### 3.2 — `@vectorstoremodel` decorator
-- Port from SK, works with dataclasses, Pydantic models, plain classes, and dicts
-- Sets `__vectorstoremodel__` and `__vectorstoremodel_definition__` on the class
-- Remove SK-specific `kernel` prefix (`__kernel_vectorstoremodel__` → `__vectorstoremodel__`)
-
-#### 3.3 — Serialization/deserialization protocols
-- `SerializeMethodProtocol`, `ToDictFunctionProtocol`, `FromDictFunctionProtocol`, etc.
-- Port the record handler logic but without Pydantic base class — use plain class or ABC
-
-#### 3.4 — Vector store base classes in `_vectors.py`
-- `VectorStoreRecordHandler` — internal base class that handles serialization/deserialization between user data models and store-specific formats, plus embedding generation for vector fields. Both `BaseVectorCollection` and `BaseVectorSearch` extend this.
-- `BaseVectorCollection(VectorStoreRecordHandler)` — base for collections
-  - Uses `SupportsGetEmbeddings` instead of `EmbeddingGeneratorBase`
-  - Not a Pydantic model — use `__init__` with explicit params
-  - `upsert`, `get`, `delete`, `ensure_collection_exists`, `collection_exists`, `ensure_collection_deleted`
-  - Async context manager support
-- `BaseVectorStore` — base for stores
-  - `get_collection`, `list_collection_names`, `collection_exists`, `ensure_collection_deleted`
-  - Async context manager support
-
-#### 3.5 — Vector search base class
-- `BaseVectorSearch(VectorStoreRecordHandler)` — base for vector search
-  - Single `search(search_type=...)` method with `search_type: Literal["vector", "keyword_hybrid"]` parameter — no enum, just a literal
-  - `_inner_search` abstract method for implementations
-  - Filter building with lambda parser (AST-based)
-  - Vector generation from values using embedding generator
-
-#### 3.6 — Protocols for type checking
-- `SupportsVectorUpsert` — Protocol for upsert/get/delete operations
-- `SupportsVectorSearch` — Protocol for vector search (single `search()` with `search_type` parameter)
-- No separate `SupportsVectorHybridSearch` — search type is a parameter, not a separate capability
-- No protocol for `VectorStore` — it's a factory for collections, not a capability to duck-type against
-
-#### 3.7 — Exception types
-- Add vector store exceptions under `IntegrationException` or create new branch
-- `VectorStoreException`, `VectorStoreOperationException`, `VectorSearchException`, `VectorStoreModelException`, etc.
-
-#### 3.8 — `create_search_tool` on `BaseVectorSearch`
-- Method on `BaseVectorSearch` that creates an AF `FunctionTool` from the vector search
-- Wraps the single `search()` method, passing `search_type` parameter
-- Accepts: `name`, `description`, `search_type`, `top`, `skip`, `filter`, `string_mapper`
-- The tool takes a query string, vectorizes it, searches, and returns results as strings
-- Can also be a standalone factory function in `_vectors.py`
-
-#### 3.9 — Tests for all vector store abstractions
-- Unit tests for enums, field types, collection definition
-- Unit tests for decorator
-- Unit tests for serialization/deserialization
-- Unit tests for record handler
-
----
-
-### Phase 4: In-Memory Vector Store
-**Goal:** Provide a zero-dependency vector store for testing and development.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — first usable vector store.
-
-#### 4.1 — Port `InMemoryCollection` and `InMemoryStore` into core
-- Place in `agent_framework/_vectors.py` (alongside the abstractions)
-- Supports vector search (cosine similarity, etc.)
-- No external dependencies
-
-#### 4.2 — Port FAISS extension (optional, can be separate package)
-- Extends InMemory with FAISS indexing
-
-#### 4.3 — Tests and sample code
-
----
-
-### Phase 5: Vector Store Connectors — Tier 1 (High Priority)
-**Goal:** Ship the most commonly used vector store connectors.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — each connector is independent.
-
-Each connector follows the AF package structure:
-- New package under `packages/`
-- Own `pyproject.toml`, `tests/`, lazy loading in core
-
-#### 5.1 — Azure AI Search (`packages/azure-ai-search/`)
-- May extend existing package or be new
-- `AzureAISearchCollection`, `AzureAISearchStore`
-
-#### 5.2 — Qdrant (`packages/qdrant/`)
-- New package
-- `QdrantCollection`, `QdrantStore`
-
-#### 5.3 — Redis (`packages/redis/`)
-- May extend existing redis package
-- `RedisCollection` (JSON + Hashset variants), `RedisStore`
-
-#### 5.4 — PostgreSQL/pgvector (`packages/postgres/`)
-- New package
-- `PostgresCollection`, `PostgresStore`
-
----
-
-### Phase 6: Vector Store Connectors — Tier 2
-**Goal:** Ship remaining vector store connectors.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — each connector is independent.
-
-#### 6.1 — MongoDB Atlas (`packages/mongodb/`)
-#### 6.2 — Azure Cosmos DB (`packages/azure-cosmos-db/`)
-- Cosmos Mongo + Cosmos NoSQL
-#### 6.3 — Pinecone (`packages/pinecone/`)
-#### 6.4 — Chroma (`packages/chroma/`)
-#### 6.5 — Weaviate (`packages/weaviate/`)
-
----
-
-### Phase 7: Vector Store Connectors — Tier 3
-**Goal:** Ship niche or less common connectors.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — each connector is independent.
-
-#### 7.1 — Oracle (`packages/oracle/`)
-#### 7.2 — SQL Server (`packages/sql-server/`)
-#### 7.3 — FAISS (`packages/faiss/` or in core extending InMemory)
-
-> **Note:** When implementing any SQL-based connector (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, Cosmos DB), review the .NET MEVD changes made by @roji (Shay Rojansky) in SK for design patterns, query building, filter translation, and feature parity: https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aroji+is%3Aclosed
-
----
-
-### Phase 8: Vector Store CRUD Tools
-**Goal:** Provide a full set of agent-usable tools for CRUD operations on vector store collections.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — adds tools without changing existing APIs.
-
-#### 8.1 — `create_upsert_tool` — tool for upserting records into a collection
-#### 8.2 — `create_get_tool` — tool for retrieving records by key
-- Key-based lookup only (by primary key), not a search tool
-- Documentation must clearly distinguish this from `create_search_tool`: get_tool retrieves specific records by their known key, while search_tool performs similarity/filtered search across the collection
-- Consider if this overlaps with filtered search and document when to use which
-#### 8.3 — `create_delete_tool` — tool for deleting records by key
-#### 8.4 — Tests and samples for CRUD tools
-
----
-
-### Phase 9: Additional Embedding Implementations (New Providers)
-**Goal:** Provide embedding generators for providers that don't yet have AF packages.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — each is independent, new packages.
-
-#### 9.1 — HuggingFace/ONNX embedding (new package or lab)
-#### 9.2 — Mistral AI embedding (new package)
-#### 9.3 — Google AI / Vertex AI embedding (new package)
-#### 9.4 — Nvidia embedding (new package)
-
----
-
-### Phase 10: TextSearch Abstractions & Implementations (Separate Work)
-**Goal:** Port text search (non-vector) abstractions and implementations.
-**Mergeable:** Yes — independent of vector stores.
-
-#### 10.1 — TextSearch base class and types
-- `SearchOptions`, `SearchResponse`, `TextSearchResult`
-- `TextSearch` base class with `search()` method
-- `create_search_function()` for kernel integration (may need AF equivalent)
-
-#### 10.2 — Brave Search implementation
-#### 10.3 — Google Search implementation
-#### 10.4 — Vector store text search bridge (connecting VectorSearch to TextSearch interface)
-
----
-
-## Key Considerations
-
-1. **No Pydantic for internal classes**: All AF internal classes should use plain classes. Pydantic is only used for user-facing input validation (e.g., vector store data models).
-
-2. **Protocol + Base class**: Follow AF's pattern of both a `Protocol` for duck-typing and a `Base` ABC for implementation, matching how `SupportsChatGetResponse` + `BaseChatClient` works.
-
-3. **Exception hierarchy**: Use AF's `IntegrationException` branch for vector store operations, since vector stores are external dependencies.
-
-4. **`from __future__ import annotations`**: Required in all files per AF coding standard.
-
-5. **No `**kwargs` escape hatches in public APIs**: For user-facing interfaces, use explicit named parameters per AF coding standard. Internal implementation details (e.g., cooperative multiple inheritance / MRO patterns) may use `**kwargs` where necessary, as long as they are not exposed in public signatures.
-
-6. **Lazy loading**: Connector packages use `__getattr__` lazy loading in core provider folders.
-
-7. **Reusable data models**: The `@vectorstoremodel` decorator and `VectorStoreCollectionDefinition` should be agnostic enough to work with both SK and AF. The core types (`FieldTypes`, `IndexKind`, `DistanceFunction`, `VectorStoreField`) should be identical or easily mapped.
-
-8. **`create_search_tool`**: The AF-native equivalent of SK's `create_search_function`. Instead of creating a `KernelFunction`, this creates an AF `FunctionTool` (via the `@tool` decorator pattern) from a vector search. This allows agents to use vector search as a tool during conversations. Design:
-   - `create_search_tool(name, description, search_type, ...)` → returns a `FunctionTool` that wraps `VectorSearch.search(search_type=...)`
-   - The tool accepts a query string, performs embedding + vector search, and returns results as strings
-   - Supports configurable string mappers, filter functions, top/skip defaults
-   - Lives in `_vectors.py` as a method on `BaseVectorSearch` and/or as a standalone factory function
-
-9. **CRUD tools**: A full set of create/read/update/delete tools for vector store collections, allowing agents to manage data in vector stores. Design:
-   - `create_upsert_tool(...)` → tool for upserting records
-   - `create_get_tool(...)` → tool for retrieving records by key
-   - `create_delete_tool(...)` → tool for deleting records
-   - These are separate from search and are placed in a later phase
-
-10. **Score threshold filtering**: `SearchOptions` includes `score_threshold: float | None` to filter search results by relevance score (ref: [SK .NET PR #13501](https://github.com/microsoft/semantic-kernel/pull/13501)). The semantics depend on the distance function: for similarity functions (cosine similarity, dot product), results *below* the threshold are filtered out; for distance functions (cosine distance, euclidean), results *above* the threshold are filtered out. Use `DISTANCE_FUNCTION_DIRECTION_HELPER` to determine direction. Connectors should implement this natively where the database supports it, falling back to client-side post-filtering otherwise.

-# From dotnet/ directory
-dotnet restore --tl:off   # Restore dependencies for all projects
-dotnet build --tl:off     # Build all projects
-dotnet test               # Run all tests

-
-# Run unit tests only

-dotnet test --filter-query "/*UnitTests*/*/*/*" --ignore-exit-code 8
-```
-
-Use `--tl:off` when building to avoid flickering when running commands in the agent.
-
-## Speeding Up Builds and Testing
-
-The full solution is large. Use these shortcuts:
-
-| Change type | What to do |
-|-------------|------------|
-| Isolated/Internal logic | Build only the affected project and its `*.UnitTests` project. Fix issues, then build the full solution and run all unit tests. |
-| Public API surface | Build the full solution and run all unit tests immediately. |
-
-Example: Building a single code project for all target frameworks
-
-```bash
-# From dotnet/ directory
-dotnet build ./src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions
-```
-
-Example: Building a single code project for just .NET 10.
-
-```bash
-# From dotnet/ directory
-dotnet build ./src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions -f net10.0
-```
-
-Example: Running tests for a single project using .NET 10.
-
-```bash
-# From dotnet/ directory
-dotnet test --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions.UnitTests -f net10.0
-```
-
-Example: Running a single test in a specific project using .NET 10.
-Provide the full namespace, class name, and method name for the test you want to run:
-
-```bash
-# From dotnet/ directory
-dotnet test --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions.UnitTests -f net10.0 --filter-query "/*/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Abstractions.UnitTests/AgentRunOptionsTests/CloningConstructorCopiesProperties"
-```
-
-### Multi-target framework tip
-
-Most projects target multiple .NET frameworks. If the affected code does **not** use `#if` directives for framework-specific logic, pass `-f net10.0` to speed up building and testing.
-
-### Package Restore tip
-
-`dotnet build` will try and restore packages for all projects on each build, which can be slow.
-Unless packages have been changed, or it's the first time building the solution, add `--no-restore` to the build command to skip this step and speed up builds.
-
-Just remember to run `dotnet restore` after pulling changes, making changes to project references, or when building for the first time.
-
-### Testing on Linux tip
-
-Unit tests target both .NET Framework as well as .NET Core. When running on Linux, only the .NET Core tests can be run, as .NET Framework is not supported on Linux.
-
-To run only the .NET Core tests, use the `-f net10.0` option with `dotnet test`.
-
-### Microsoft Testing Platform (MTP)
-
-Tests use the [Microsoft Testing Platform](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/testing/unit-testing-platform-intro) via xUnit v3. Key differences from the legacy VSTest runner:
-
-- **`dotnet test` requires `--project`** to specify a test project directly (positional arguments are no longer supported).
-- **Test output** uses the MTP format (e.g., `[✓112/x0/↓0]` progress and `Test run summary: Passed!`).
-- **TRX reports** use `--report-xunit-trx` instead of `--logger trx`.
-- **Code coverage** uses `Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.CodeCoverage` with `--coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura`.
-- **Running a test project directly** is supported via `dotnet run --project <test-project>`. This bypasses the `dotnet test` infrastructure and runs the test executable directly with the MTP command line.
-
-- **Running tests across the solution** with a filter may cause some projects to match zero tests, which MTP treats as a failure (exit code 8). Use `--ignore-exit-code 8` to suppress this:
-
-```bash
-# Run all unit tests across the solution, ignoring projects with no matching tests
-dotnet test --solution ./agent-framework-dotnet.slnx --no-build -f net10.0 --ignore-exit-code 8
-```
-
-- **Running tests with `--solution` for a specific TFM** requires all projects in the solution to support that TFM. Not all projects target every framework (e.g., some are `net10.0`-only). Use `./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1` to generate a filtered solution:
-
-```powershell
-# Generate a filtered solution for net472 and run tests
-$filtered = ./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 -Solution dotnet/agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -TargetFramework net472
-dotnet test --solution $filtered --no-build -f net472 --ignore-exit-code 8
-
-# Exclude samples and keep only unit test projects
-./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 -Solution dotnet/agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -TargetFramework net10.0 -ExcludeSamples -TestProjectNameFilter "*UnitTests*" -OutputPath dotnet/filtered-unit.slnx
-```
-
-```bash
-# Run tests via dotnet test (uses MTP under the hood)
-dotnet test --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.UnitTests -f net10.0
-
-# Run tests with code coverage (Cobertura format)
-dotnet test --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.UnitTests -f net10.0 --coverage --coverage-output-format cobertura --coverage-settings ./tests/coverage.runsettings
-
-# Run tests directly via dotnet run (MTP native command line)
-dotnet run --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.UnitTests -f net10.0
-
-# Show MTP command line help
-dotnet run --project ./tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.UnitTests -f net10.0 -- -?

-- `ChatClientAgent`: An `AIAgent` implementation that uses an `IChatClient` to send messages to an AI provider and receive responses.
-- `IChatClient`: Interface for sending messages to an AI provider and receiving responses. Used by `ChatClientAgent` and implemented by provider-specific packages.
-- `FunctionInvokingChatClient`: Decorator for `IChatClient` that adds function invocation capabilities.
-- `AITool`: Represents a tool that an agent/AI provider can use, with metadata and an execution delegate.
-- `AIFunction`: A specific type of `AITool` that represents a local function the agent/AI provider can call, with parameters and return types defined.
-- `ChatMessage`: Represents a message in a conversation.
-- `AIContent`: Represents content in a message, which can be text, a function call, tool output and more.

-## Key Design Principles
-
-When developing or reviewing code, verify adherence to these key design principles:
-
-- **DRY**: Avoid code duplication by moving common logic into helper methods or helper classes.
-- **Single Responsibility**: Each class should have one clear responsibility.
-- **Encapsulation**: Keep implementation details private and expose only necessary public APIs.
-- **Strong Typing**: Use strong typing to ensure that code is self-documenting and to catch errors at compile time.

-<#
-.SYNOPSIS
-    Generates a filtered .slnx solution file by removing projects that don't match the specified criteria.
-
-.DESCRIPTION
-    Parses a .slnx solution file and applies one or more filters:
-    - Removes projects that don't support the specified target framework (via MSBuild query).
-    - Optionally removes all sample projects (under samples/).
-    - Optionally filters test projects by name pattern (e.g., only *UnitTests*).
-    Writes the filtered solution to the specified output path and prints the path.
-
-.PARAMETER Solution
-    Path to the source .slnx solution file.
-
-.PARAMETER TargetFramework
-    The target framework to filter by (e.g., net10.0, net472).
-
-.PARAMETER Configuration
-    Optional MSBuild configuration used when querying TargetFrameworks. Defaults to Debug.
-
-.PARAMETER TestProjectNameFilter
-    Optional wildcard pattern to filter test project names (e.g., *UnitTests*, *IntegrationTests*).
-    When specified, only test projects whose filename matches this pattern are kept.
-
-.PARAMETER ExcludeSamples
-    When specified, removes all projects under the samples/ directory from the solution.
-
-.PARAMETER OutputPath
-    Optional output path for the filtered .slnx file. If not specified, a temp file is created.
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    # Generate a filtered solution and run tests
-    $filtered = ./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 -Solution dotnet/agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -TargetFramework net472
-    dotnet test --solution $filtered --no-build -f net472
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    # Generate a solution with only unit test projects
-    ./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 -Solution dotnet/agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -TargetFramework net10.0 -TestProjectNameFilter "*UnitTests*" -OutputPath filtered-unit.slnx
-
-.EXAMPLE
-    # Inline usage with dotnet test (PowerShell)
-    dotnet test --solution (./dotnet/eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 -Solution dotnet/agent-framework-dotnet.slnx -TargetFramework net472) --no-build -f net472

-# Agent Skills Sample
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use **Agent Skills** with a `ChatClientAgent` in the Microsoft Agent Framework.
-
-## What are Agent Skills?
-
-Agent Skills are modular packages of instructions and resources that enable AI agents to perform specialized tasks. They follow the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/) and implement the progressive disclosure pattern:
-
-1. **Advertise**: Skills are advertised with name + description (~100 tokens per skill)
-2. **Load**: Full instructions are loaded on-demand via `load_skill` tool
-3. **Resources**: References and other files loaded via `read_skill_resource` tool
-
-## Skills Included
-
-### expense-report
-Policy-based expense filing with spending limits, receipt requirements, and approval workflows.
-- `references/POLICY_FAQ.md` — Detailed expense policy Q&A
-- `assets/expense-report-template.md` — Submission template
-
-## Project Structure

-            └── expense-report-template.md
-```
-
-## Running the Sample
-
-### Prerequisites
-- .NET 10.0 SDK
-- Azure OpenAI endpoint with a deployed model
-
-### Setup
-1. Set environment variables:
-   ```bash
-   export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/"
-   export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-   ```
-
-2. Run the sample:
-   ```bash
-   dotnet run
-   ```
-
-### Examples
-
-The sample runs two examples:
-
-1. **Expense policy FAQ** — Asks about tip reimbursement; the agent loads the expense-report skill and reads the FAQ resource
-2. **Filing an expense report** — Multi-turn conversation to draft an expense report using the template asset

-# Expense Policy — Frequently Asked Questions
-
-## Meals
-
-**Q: Can I expense coffee or snacks during the workday?**
-A: Daily coffee/snacks under $10 are not reimbursable (considered personal). Coffee purchased during a client meeting or team working session is reimbursable as a team meal.
-
-**Q: What if a team dinner exceeds the per-person limit?**
-A: The $75/person limit applies as a guideline. Overages up to 20% are accepted with a written justification (e.g., "client dinner at venue chosen by client"). Overages beyond 20% require pre-approval from your VP.
-
-**Q: Do I need to list every attendee?**
-A: Yes. For client meals, list the client's name and company. For team meals, list all employee names. For groups over 10, you may attach a separate attendee list.
-
-## Travel
-
-**Q: Can I book a premium economy or business class flight?**
-A: Economy class is the standard. Premium economy is allowed for flights over 6 hours. Business class requires VP pre-approval and is generally reserved for flights over 10 hours or medical accommodation.
-
-**Q: What about ride-sharing (Uber/Lyft) vs. rental cars?**
-A: Use ride-sharing for trips under 30 miles round-trip. Rent a car for multi-day travel or when ride-sharing would exceed $100/day. Always choose the compact/standard category unless traveling with 3+ people.
-
-**Q: Are tips reimbursable?**
-A: Tips up to 20% are reimbursable for meals, taxi/ride-share, and hotel housekeeping. Tips above 20% require justification.
-
-## Lodging
-
-**Q: What if the $250/night limit isn't enough for the city I'm visiting?**
-A: For high-cost cities (New York, San Francisco, London, Tokyo, Sydney), the limit is automatically increased to $350/night. No additional approval is needed. For other locations where rates are unusually high (e.g., during a major conference), request a per-trip exception from your manager before booking.
-
-**Q: Can I stay with friends/family instead and get a per-diem?**
-A: No. Contoso reimburses actual lodging costs only, not per-diems.
-
-## Subscriptions and Software
-
-**Q: Can I expense a personal productivity tool?**
-A: Software must be directly related to your job function. Tools like IDE licenses, design software, or project management apps are reimbursable. General productivity apps (note-taking, personal calendar) are not, unless your manager confirms a business need in writing.
-
-**Q: What about annual subscriptions?**
-A: Annual subscriptions over $200 require manager approval before purchase. Submit the approval email with your expense report.
-
-## Receipts and Documentation
-
-**Q: My receipt is faded/damaged. What do I do?**
-A: Try to obtain a duplicate from the vendor. If not possible, submit a Lost Receipt Affidavit (available from the Finance SharePoint site). You're limited to 2 affidavits per quarter.
-
-**Q: Do I need a receipt for parking meters or tolls?**
-A: For amounts under $15, no receipt is required — just note the date, location, and amount. For $15 and above, a receipt or bank/credit card statement excerpt is required.
-
-## Approval and Reimbursement
-
-**Q: My manager is on leave. Who approves my report?**
-A: Expense reports can be approved by your skip-level manager or any manager designated as an alternate approver in the expense system.
-
-**Q: Can I submit expenses from a previous quarter?**
-A: The standard 30-day window applies. Expenses older than 30 days require a written explanation and VP approval. Expenses older than 90 days are not reimbursable except in extraordinary circumstances (extended leave, medical emergency) with CFO approval.

-# Agent with Memory Using Azure AI Foundry
-
-This sample demonstrates how to create and run an agent that uses Azure AI Foundry's managed memory service to extract and retrieve individual memories across sessions.
-
-## Features Demonstrated
-
-- Creating a `FoundryMemoryProvider` with Azure Identity authentication
-- Automatic memory store creation if it doesn't exist
-- Multi-turn conversations with automatic memory extraction
-- Memory retrieval to inform agent responses
-- Session serialization and deserialization
-- Memory persistence across completely new sessions
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Azure subscription with Azure AI Foundry project
-2. Azure OpenAI resource with a chat model deployment (e.g., gpt-4o-mini) and an embedding model deployment (e.g., text-embedding-ada-002)
-3. .NET 10.0 SDK
-4. Azure CLI logged in (`az login`)
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-```bash
-# Azure AI Foundry project endpoint and memory store name
-export AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-account.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-project"
-export AZURE_AI_MEMORY_STORE_ID="my_memory_store"
-
-# Model deployment names (models deployed in your Foundry project)
-export AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-export AZURE_AI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="text-embedding-ada-002"
-```
-
-## Run the Sample
-
-```bash
-dotnet run
-```
-
-## Expected Output
-
-The agent will:
-1. Create the memory store if it doesn't exist (using the specified chat and embedding models)
-2. Learn your name (Taylor), travel destination (Patagonia), timing (November), companions (sister), and interests (scenic viewpoints)
-3. Wait for Foundry Memory to index the memories
-4. Recall those details when asked about the trip
-5. Demonstrate memory persistence across session serialization/deserialization
-6. Show that a brand new session can still access the same memories
-
-## Key Differences from Mem0
-
-| Aspect | Mem0 | Azure AI Foundry Memory |
-|--------|------|------------------------|
-| Authentication | API Key | Azure Identity (DefaultAzureCredential) |
-| Scope | ApplicationId, UserId, AgentId, ThreadId | Single `Scope` string |
-| Memory Types | Single memory store | User Profile + Chat Summary |
-| Hosting | Mem0 cloud or self-hosted | Azure AI Foundry managed service |
-| Store Creation | N/A (automatic) | Explicit via `EnsureMemoryStoreCreatedAsync` |

-# Bounded Chat History with Vector Store Overflow
-
-This sample demonstrates how to create a custom `ChatHistoryProvider` that keeps a bounded window of recent messages in session state and automatically overflows older messages to a vector store. When the agent is invoked, it searches the vector store for relevant older messages and prepends them as memory context.
-
-## Concepts
-
-- **`TruncatingChatReducer`**: A custom `IChatReducer` that keeps the most recent N messages and exposes removed messages via a `RemovedMessages` property.
-- **`BoundedChatHistoryProvider`**: A custom `ChatHistoryProvider` that composes:
-  - `InMemoryChatHistoryProvider` for fast session-state storage (bounded by the reducer)
-  - `ChatHistoryMemoryProvider` for vector-store overflow and semantic search of older messages
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/10.0)
-- An Azure OpenAI resource with:
-  - A chat deployment (e.g., `gpt-4o-mini`)
-  - An embedding deployment (e.g., `text-embedding-3-large`)
-
-## Configuration
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-| Variable | Description | Default |
-|---|---|---|
-| `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` | Your Azure OpenAI endpoint URL | *(required)* |
-| `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` | Chat model deployment name | `gpt-4o-mini` |
-| `AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` | Embedding model deployment name | `text-embedding-3-large` |
-
-## Running the Sample
-
-```bash
-dotnet run
-```
-
-## How it Works
-
-1. The agent starts a conversation with a bounded session window of 4 non-system, non-function messages (i.e., user/assistant turns). System messages are always preserved, and function call/result messages are truncated and not preserved.
-2. As messages accumulate beyond the limit, the `TruncatingChatReducer` removes the oldest messages.
-3. The `BoundedChatHistoryProvider` detects the removed messages and stores them in a vector store via `ChatHistoryMemoryProvider`.
-4. On subsequent invocations, the provider searches the vector store for relevant older messages and prepends them as memory context, allowing the agent to recall information from earlier in the conversation.

-# Compaction Pipeline
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use a `CompactionProvider` with a `PipelineCompactionStrategy` to manage long conversation histories in a token-efficient way. The pipeline chains four compaction strategies, ordered from gentle to aggressive, so that the least disruptive strategy runs first and more aggressive strategies only activate when necessary.
-
-## What This Sample Shows
-
-- **`CompactionProvider`** — an `AIContextProvider` that applies a compaction strategy before each agent invocation, keeping only the most relevant messages within the model's context window
-- **`PipelineCompactionStrategy`** — chains multiple compaction strategies into an ordered pipeline; each strategy evaluates its own trigger independently and operates on the output of the previous one
-- **`ToolResultCompactionStrategy`** — collapses older tool-call groups into concise inline summaries, activated by a message-count trigger
-- **`SummarizationCompactionStrategy`** — uses an LLM to compress older conversation spans into a single summary message, activated by a token-count trigger
-- **`SlidingWindowCompactionStrategy`** — retains only the most recent N user turns and their responses, activated by a turn-count trigger
-- **`TruncationCompactionStrategy`** — emergency backstop that drops the oldest groups until the conversation fits within a hard token budget
-- **`CompactionTriggers`** — factory methods (`MessagesExceed`, `TokensExceed`, `TurnsExceed`, `GroupsExceed`, `HasToolCalls`, `All`, `Any`) that control when each strategy activates
-
-## Concepts
-
-### Message groups
-
-The compaction engine organizes messages into atomic *groups* that are treated as indivisible units during compaction. A group is either:
-
-| Group kind | Contents |
-|---|---|
-| `System` | System prompt message(s) |
-| `User` | A single user message |
-| `ToolCall` | One assistant message with tool calls + the matching tool result messages |
-| `AssistantText` | A single assistant text-only message |
-| `Summary` | One or more messages summarizing earlier conversation spans, produced by compaction strategies |
-
-`Summary` groups (`CompactionGroupKind.Summary`) are created by compaction strategies (for example, `SummarizationCompactionStrategy`) and do not originate directly from user or assistant messages.
-Strategies exclude entire groups rather than individual messages, preserving the tool-call/result pairing required by most model APIs.
-
-### Compaction triggers
-
-A `CompactionTrigger` is a predicate evaluated against the current `MessageIndex`. When the trigger fires, the strategy performs compaction; when it does not fire, the strategy is skipped. Available triggers are:
-
-| Trigger | Activates when… |
-|---|---|
-| `CompactionTriggers.Always` | Always (unconditional) |
-| `CompactionTriggers.Never` | Never (disabled) |
-| `CompactionTriggers.MessagesExceed(n)` | Included message count > n |
-| `CompactionTriggers.TokensExceed(n)` | Included token count > n |
-| `CompactionTriggers.TurnsExceed(n)` | Included user-turn count > n |
-| `CompactionTriggers.GroupsExceed(n)` | Included group count > n |
-| `CompactionTriggers.HasToolCalls()` | At least one included tool-call group exists |
-| `CompactionTriggers.All(...)` | All supplied triggers fire (logical AND) |
-| `CompactionTriggers.Any(...)` | Any supplied trigger fires (logical OR) |
-
-### Pipeline ordering
-
-Order strategies from **least aggressive** to **most aggressive**. The pipeline runs every strategy whose trigger is met. Earlier strategies reduce the conversation gently so that later, more destructive strategies may not need to activate at all.
-
-```
-1. ToolResultCompactionStrategy  – gentle:    replaces verbose tool results with a short label
-2. SummarizationCompactionStrategy – moderate: LLM-summarizes older turns
-3. SlidingWindowCompactionStrategy – aggressive: drops turns beyond the window
-4. TruncationCompactionStrategy   – emergency:  hard token-budget enforcement
-```
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure OpenAI service endpoint and model deployment
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated
-
-**Note**: This sample uses `DefaultAzureCredential`. Sign in with `az login` before running. For production, prefer a specific credential such as `ManagedIdentityCredential`. For more information, see the [Azure CLI authentication documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively).
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"  # Required
-$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"                       # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
-```
-
-## Running the Sample
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/Agents/Agent_Step18_CompactionPipeline
-dotnet run
-```
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-The sample runs a seven-turn shopping-assistant conversation with tool calls. After each turn it prints the full message count so you can observe the pipeline compaction doesn't alter the source conversation.
-
-Each of the four compaction strategies has a deliberately low threshold so that it activates during the short demonstration conversation. In a production scenario you would raise the thresholds to match your model's context window and cost requirements.
-
-## Customizing the Pipeline
-
-### Using a single strategy
-
-If you only need one compaction strategy, pass it directly to `CompactionProvider` without wrapping it in a pipeline:
-
-```csharp
-CompactionProvider provider =
-    new(new SlidingWindowCompactionStrategy(CompactionTriggers.TurnsExceed(20)));
-```
-
-### Ad-hoc compaction outside the provider pipeline
-
-`CompactionProvider.CompactAsync` applies a strategy to an arbitrary list of messages without an active agent session:
-
-```csharp
-IEnumerable<ChatMessage> compacted = await CompactionProvider.CompactAsync(
-    new TruncationCompactionStrategy(CompactionTriggers.TokensExceed(8000)),
-    existingMessages);
-```
-
-### Using a different model for summarization
-
-The `SummarizationCompactionStrategy` accepts any `IChatClient`. Use a smaller, cheaper model to reduce summarization cost:
-
-```csharp
-IChatClient summarizerChatClient = openAIClient.GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini").AsIChatClient();
-new SummarizationCompactionStrategy(summarizerChatClient, CompactionTriggers.TokensExceed(4000))
-```
-
-### Registering through `ChatClientAgentOptions`
-
-`CompactionProvider` can also be specified directly on `ChatClientAgentOptions` instead of calling `UseAIContextProviders` on the `ChatClientBuilder`:
-
-```csharp
-AIAgent agent = agentChatClient
-    .AsBuilder()
-    .BuildAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-    {
-        AIContextProviders = [new CompactionProvider(compactionPipeline)]
-    });
-```
-
-This places the compaction provider at the agent level instead of the chat client level, which allows you to use different compaction strategies for different agents that share the same chat client.
-
-> Note: In this mode the `CompactionProvider` is not engaged during the tool calling loop. Agent-level `AIContextProviders` run before chat history is stored, so any synthetic summary messages produced by `CompactionProvider` can become part of the persisted history when using `ChatHistoryProvider`. If you want to compact only the request context while preserving the original stored history, register `CompactionProvider` on the `ChatClientBuilder` via `UseAIContextProviders(...)` instead of on `ChatClientAgentOptions`.

-# Red Teaming with Azure AI Foundry (Classic)
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> This sample uses the **classic Azure AI Foundry** red teaming API (`/redTeams/runs`) via `Azure.AI.Projects`. Results are viewable in the classic Foundry portal experience. The **new Foundry** portal's red teaming feature uses a different evaluation-based API that is not yet available in the .NET SDK.
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use Azure AI Foundry's Red Teaming service to assess the safety and resilience of an AI model against adversarial attacks.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Configuring a red team run targeting an Azure OpenAI model deployment
-- Using multiple `AttackStrategy` options (Easy, Moderate, Jailbreak)
-- Evaluating across `RiskCategory` categories (Violence, HateUnfairness, Sexual, SelfHarm)
-- Submitting a red team scan and polling for completion
-- Reviewing results in the Azure AI Foundry portal
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

-- Azure OpenAI deployment (e.g., gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini)
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-
-### Regional Requirements
-
-Red teaming is only available in regions that support risk and safety evaluators:
-- **East US 2**, **Sweden Central**, **US North Central**, **France Central**, **Switzerland West**
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-project.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-project" # Replace with your Azure Foundry project endpoint

-- Results are available in the Azure AI Foundry portal (**classic view** — toggle at top-right) under the red teaming section
-- Lower Attack Success Rate (ASR) is better — target ASR < 5% for production
-- Review individual attack conversations to understand vulnerabilities
-
-### Current Limitations
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> - The .NET Red Teaming API (`Azure.AI.Projects`) currently supports targeting **model deployments only** via `AzureOpenAIModelConfiguration`. The `AzureAIAgentTarget` type exists in the SDK but is consumed by the **Evaluation Taxonomy** API (`/evaluationtaxonomies`), not by the Red Teaming API (`/redTeams/runs`).
-> - Agent-targeted red teaming with agent-specific risk categories (Prohibited actions, Sensitive data leakage, Task adherence) is documented in the [concept docs](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-foundry/concepts/ai-red-teaming-agent) but is not yet available via the public REST API or .NET SDK.
-> - Results from this API appear in the **classic** Azure AI Foundry portal view. The new Foundry portal uses a separate evaluation-based system with `eval_*` identifiers.

-## Next Steps
-
-After running red teaming:
-1. Review attack results and strengthen agent guardrails
-2. Explore the Self-Reflection sample (FoundryAgents_Evaluations_Step02_SelfReflection) for quality assessment
-3. Set up continuous red teaming in your CI/CD pipeline

-# Self-Reflection Evaluation with Groundedness Assessment
-
-This sample demonstrates the self-reflection pattern using Agent Framework with `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Quality` evaluators. The agent iteratively improves its responses based on real groundedness evaluation scores.
-
-For details on the self-reflection approach, see [Reflexion: Language Agents with Verbal Reinforcement Learning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.11366) (NeurIPS 2023).
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Self-reflection loop that improves responses using real `GroundednessEvaluator` scores
-- Using `RelevanceEvaluator` and `CoherenceEvaluator` for multi-metric quality assessment
-- Combining quality and safety evaluators with `CompositeEvaluator`
-- Configuring `ContentSafetyServiceConfiguration` for safety evaluators alongside LLM-based quality evaluators
-- Tracking improvement across iterations
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure AI Foundry project (hub and project created)
-- Azure OpenAI deployment (e.g., gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini)
-- 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).
-
-### Azure Resources Required
-
-1. **Azure AI Hub and Project**: Create these in the Azure Portal
-   - Follow: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-foundry/how-to/create-projects
-2. **Azure OpenAI Deployment**: Deploy a model (e.g., gpt-4o or gpt-4o-mini)
-   - Agent model: Used to generate responses
-   - Evaluator model: Quality evaluators use an LLM; best results with GPT-4o
-3. **Azure CLI**: Install and authenticate with `az login`
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-project.api.azureml.ms"  # Azure Foundry project endpoint
-$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-openai.openai.azure.com/"         # Azure OpenAI endpoint (for quality evaluators)
-$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"                   # Model deployment name
-```
-
-**Note**: For best evaluation results, use GPT-4o or GPT-4o-mini as the evaluator model. The groundedness evaluator has been tested and tuned for these models.
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/FoundryAgents/FoundryAgents_Evaluations_Step02_SelfReflection
-dotnet run
-```
-
-## Expected behavior
-
-The sample runs three evaluation scenarios:
-
-### 1. Self-Reflection with Groundedness
-- Asks a question with grounding context
-- Evaluates response groundedness using `GroundednessEvaluator`
-- If score is below 4/5, asks the agent to improve with feedback
-- Repeats up to 3 iterations
-- Tracks and reports the best score achieved
-
-### 2. Quality Evaluation
-- Evaluates a single response with multiple quality evaluators:
-  - `RelevanceEvaluator` — is the response relevant to the question?
-  - `CoherenceEvaluator` — is the response logically coherent?
-  - `GroundednessEvaluator` — is the response grounded in the provided context?
-
-### 3. Combined Quality + Safety Evaluation
-- Runs both quality and safety evaluators together:
-  - `RelevanceEvaluator`, `CoherenceEvaluator` (quality)
-  - `ContentHarmEvaluator` (safety — violence, hate, sexual, self-harm)
-  - `ProtectedMaterialEvaluator` (safety — copyrighted content detection)
-
-## Understanding the Evaluation
-
-### Groundedness Score (1-5 scale)
-
-The `GroundednessEvaluator` measures how well the agent's response is grounded in the provided context:
-
-- **5** = Excellent - Response is fully grounded in context
-- **4** = Good - Mostly grounded with minor deviations
-- **3** = Fair - Partially grounded but includes unsupported claims
-- **2** = Poor - Significant amount of ungrounded content
-- **1** = Very Poor - Response is largely unsupported by context
-
-### Self-Reflection Process
-
-1. **Initial Response**: Agent generates answer based on question + context
-2. **Evaluation**: `GroundednessEvaluator` scores the response (1-5)
-3. **Feedback**: If score < 4, agent receives the score and is asked to improve
-4. **Iteration**: Process repeats until good score or max iterations
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Provide Complete Context**: Ensure grounding context contains all information needed to answer the question
-2. **Clear Instructions**: Give the agent clear instructions about staying grounded in context
-3. **Use Quality Models**: GPT-4o recommended for evaluation tasks
-4. **Multiple Evaluators**: Use combination of evaluators (groundedness + relevance + coherence)
-5. **Batch Processing**: For production, process multiple questions in batch

-## Next Steps
-
-After running self-reflection evaluation:
-1. Implement similar patterns for other quality metrics (relevance, coherence, fluency)
-2. Integrate into CI/CD pipeline for continuous quality assurance
-3. Explore the Safety Evaluation sample (FoundryAgents_Evaluations_Step01_RedTeaming) for content safety assessment

-# Using File Search with AI Agents
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use the file search tool with AI agents. The file search tool allows agents to search through uploaded files stored in vector stores to answer user questions.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Uploading files and creating vector stores
-- Creating agents with file search capabilities
-- Using HostedFileSearchTool (MEAI abstraction)
-- Using native SDK file search tools (ResponseTool.CreateFileSearchTool)
-- Handling file citation annotations
-- Managing agent and resource lifecycle (creation and deletion)
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-
-**Note**: This demo uses `DefaultAzureCredential` for authentication. For local development, make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Azure Foundry resource. For more information, see the [Azure Identity documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential).
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project" # Replace with your Azure Foundry resource endpoint
-$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_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/02-agents/FoundryAgents
-dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step16_FileSearch
-```
-
-## Expected behavior
-
-The sample will:
-
-1. Create a temporary text file with employee directory information
-2. Upload the file to Azure Foundry
-3. Create a vector store with the uploaded file
-4. Create an agent with file search capabilities using one of:
-   - Option 1: Using HostedFileSearchTool (MEAI abstraction)
-   - Option 2: Using native SDK file search tools
-5. Run a query against the agent to search through the uploaded file
-6. Display file citation annotations from responses
-7. Clean up resources (agent, vector store, and uploaded file)

-# Using Bing Custom Search with AI Agents
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use the Bing Custom Search tool with AI agents to perform customized web searches.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating agents with Bing Custom Search capabilities
-- Configuring custom search instances via connection ID and instance name
-- Two agent creation approaches: MEAI abstraction (Option 1) and Native SDK (Option 2)
-- Running search queries through the agent
-- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
-
-## Agent creation options
-
-This sample provides two approaches for creating agents with Bing Custom Search:
-
-- **Option 1 - MEAI + AgentFramework**: Uses the Agent Framework `ResponseTool` wrapped with `AsAITool()` to call the `CreateAIAgentAsync` overload that accepts `tools:[]`, while still relying on the same underlying Azure AI Projects SDK types as Option 2.
-- **Option 2 - Native SDK**: Uses `PromptAgentDefinition` with `AgentVersionCreationOptions` to create the agent directly with the Azure AI Projects SDK types.
-
-Both options produce the same result. Toggle between them by commenting/uncommenting the corresponding `CreateAgentWith*Async` call in `Program.cs`.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-- A Bing Custom Search resource configured in Azure and connected to your Foundry project
-
-**Note**: This demo uses Azure Default credentials for authentication. Make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Azure Foundry resource.
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
-$env:BING_CUSTOM_SEARCH_PROJECT_CONNECTION_ID="/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/<account>/projects/<project>/connections/<connection-name>"
-$env:BING_CUSTOM_SEARCH_INSTANCE_NAME="your-configuration-name"
-```
-
-### Finding the connection ID and instance name
-
-- **Connection ID**: The full ARM resource path including the `/projects/<name>/connections/<connection-name>` segment. Find the connection name in your Foundry project under **Management center** → **Connected resources**.
-- **Instance Name**: The **configuration name** from the Bing Custom Search resource (Azure portal → your Bing Custom Search resource → **Configurations**). This is _not_ the Azure resource name.
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the FoundryAgents sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/FoundryAgents
-dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step18_BingCustomSearch
-```
-
-## Expected behavior
-
-The sample will:
-
-1. Create an agent with Bing Custom Search tool capabilities
-2. Run the agent with a search query about Microsoft AI
-3. Display the search results returned by the agent
-4. Clean up resources by deleting the agent

-# Using SharePoint Grounding with AI Agents
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use the SharePoint grounding tool with AI agents. The SharePoint grounding tool enables agents to search and retrieve information from SharePoint sites.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating agents with SharePoint grounding capabilities
-- Using AgentTool.CreateSharepointTool (MEAI abstraction)
-- Using native SDK SharePoint tools (PromptAgentDefinition)
-- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure authentication configured for `DefaultAzureCredential` (for example, Azure CLI logged in with `az login`, environment variables, managed identity, or IDE sign-in)
-- A SharePoint project connection configured in Azure Foundry
-
-**Note**: This demo uses `DefaultAzureCredential` for authentication. This credential will try multiple authentication mechanisms in order (such as environment variables, managed identity, Azure CLI login, and IDE sign-in) and use the first one that works. A common option for local development is to sign in with the Azure CLI using `az login` and ensure you 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) and the [DefaultAzureCredential documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.identity.defaultazurecredential).
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell

-# Using Microsoft Fabric Tool with AI Agents
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use the Microsoft Fabric tool with AI Agents, allowing agents to query and interact with data in Microsoft Fabric workspaces.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating agents with Microsoft Fabric data access capabilities
-- Using FabricDataAgentToolOptions to configure Fabric connections
-- Two agent creation approaches: MEAI abstraction (Option 1) and Native SDK (Option 2)
-- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
-
-## Agent creation options
-
-This sample provides two approaches for creating agents with Microsoft Fabric:
-
-- **Option 1 - MEAI + AgentFramework**: Uses the Agent Framework `ResponseTool` wrapped with `AsAITool()` to call the `CreateAIAgentAsync` overload that accepts `tools:[]`, while still relying on the same underlying Azure AI Projects SDK types as Option 2.
-- **Option 2 - Native SDK**: Uses `PromptAgentDefinition` with `AgentVersionCreationOptions` to create the agent directly with the Azure AI Projects SDK types.
-
-Both options produce the same result. Toggle between them by commenting/uncommenting the corresponding `CreateAgentWith*Async` call in `Program.cs`.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-- A Microsoft Fabric workspace with a configured project connection in Azure Foundry
-
-**Note**: This demo uses Azure Default credentials for authentication. Make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Azure Foundry resource.
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
-$env:FABRIC_PROJECT_CONNECTION_ID="your-fabric-connection-id"  # The Fabric project connection ID from Azure Foundry
-```
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the FoundryAgents sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/FoundryAgents
-dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step20_MicrosoftFabric
-```
-
-## Expected behavior
-
-The sample will:
-
-1. Create an agent with Microsoft Fabric tool capabilities
-2. Configure the agent with a Fabric project connection
-3. Run the agent with a query about available Fabric data
-4. Display the agent's response
-5. Clean up resources by deleting the agent

-# Using Memory Search with AI Agents
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use the Memory Search tool with AI agents. The Memory Search tool enables agents to recall information from previous conversations, supporting user profile persistence and chat summaries across sessions.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating an agent with Memory Search tool capabilities
-- Configuring memory scope for user isolation
-- Having conversations where the agent remembers past information
-- Inspecting memory search results from agent responses
-- Managing agent lifecycle (creation and deletion)
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Azure Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-- **A pre-created Memory Store** (see below)
-
-**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).
-
-### Creating a Memory Store
-
-Memory stores must be created before running this sample. The .NET SDK currently only supports **using** existing memory stores with agents. To create a memory store, use one of these methods:
-
-**Option 1: Azure Portal**
-1. Navigate to your Azure AI Foundry project
-2. Go to the Memory section
-3. Create a new memory store with your desired settings
-
-**Option 2: Python SDK**
-```python
-from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient
-from azure.ai.projects.models import MemoryStoreDefaultDefinition, MemoryStoreDefaultOptions
-from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
-
-project_client = AIProjectClient(
-    endpoint="https://your-endpoint.openai.azure.com/",
-    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
-)
-
-memory_store = await project_client.memory_stores.create(
-    name="my-memory-store",
-    description="Memory store for Agent Framework conversations",
-    definition=MemoryStoreDefaultDefinition(
-        chat_model=os.environ["AZURE_AI_CHAT_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
-        embedding_model=os.environ["AZURE_AI_EMBEDDING_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
-        options=MemoryStoreDefaultOptions(
-            user_profile_enabled=True,
-            chat_summary_enabled=True
-        )
-    )
-)
-```
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
-$env:AZURE_AI_MEMORY_STORE_NAME="your-memory-store-name"  # Required - name of pre-created memory store
-```
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the FoundryAgents sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/FoundryAgents
-dotnet run --project .\FoundryAgents_Step22_MemorySearch
-```
-
-## Expected behavior
-
-The sample will:
-
-1. Create an agent with Memory Search tool configured
-2. Send a message with personal information ("My name is Alice and I love programming in C#")
-3. Wait for memory indexing
-4. Ask the agent to recall the previously shared information
-5. Display memory search results if available in the response
-6. Clean up by deleting the agent (note: memory store persists)
-
-## Important notes
-
-- **Memory Store Lifecycle**: Memory stores are long-lived resources and are NOT deleted when the agent is deleted. Clean them up separately via Azure Portal or Python SDK.
-- **Scope**: The `scope` parameter isolates memories per user/context. Use unique identifiers for different users.
