+# Agent with MCP long-running task (transparent polling)
+
+This sample demonstrates Microsoft Agent Framework's MCP long-running task support: an agent invokes an MCP tool whose execution takes too long for a single request/response cycle, and the framework polls it to completion behind the function-calling loop. From the agent's perspective the tool simply returns its result.
+
+## What this sample shows
+
+- Using `McpClient.ListAgentToolsWithTaskSupportAsync(...)` (in `Microsoft.Agents.AI.Mcp`) to wrap MCP tools with task-aware behavior.
+- Configuring `McpTaskOptions.DefaultTimeToLive` to bound the server-side task.
+- Hosting a small MCP server (in this same executable, launched with `--server`) that advertises `execution.taskSupport=required` on a tool that sleeps for ~15 seconds.
+- No application-level polling, continuation tokens, or `AllowBackgroundResponses` flag are required.
+
+The decorator drives the lifecycle internally:
+
+1. `tools/call` augmented with task metadata (`CallToolAsTaskAsync`)
+2. `tasks/get` polled until terminal (`PollTaskUntilCompleteAsync`)
+3. `tasks/result` retrieved (`GetTaskResultAsync`) and returned to the function-calling loop
+
+The sample exercises both invocation styles against the same wrapper:
+
+- `agent.RunAsync(...)` blocks until the tool completes (~15 seconds in this sample) and returns the final response.
+- `agent.RunStreamingAsync(...)` returns immediately and yields `AgentResponseUpdate` chunks as the model emits them; in this scenario the model only begins streaming its answer once the wrapped tool's task reaches the `Completed` state, so the perceived "pause" before tokens arrive reflects tool execution time, not stream-channel latency.
+
+# Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10 SDK or later
+- Azure OpenAI service endpoint and a chat-completions deployment
+- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (`az login`)
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/"
+$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-5.4-mini"  # optional; defaults to gpt-5.4-mini
+```
+
+# Running
+
+```powershell
+cd Agent_MCP_LongRunningTask_Client
+dotnet run
+```
+
+You should see output similar to:
+
+```
+=== Transparent long-running MCP task (RunAsync) ===
+Asking the agent to analyze a dataset; the tool takes ~15s to complete.
+RunAsync blocks while the wrapper polls the task to completion.
+
+Agent response (after 15.4s):
+The 'sales-2025-q1' dataset contains 12,403 rows ...
+
+=== Transparent long-running MCP task (RunStreamingAsync) ===
+Same request via the streaming API. Updates only begin to arrive after the
+tool's task reaches the Completed state, since the model needs the tool result
+before it can produce its final answer.
+
+The 'sales-2025-q1' dataset contains 12,403 rows ...
+(Streaming completed after 15.7s.)

+# Magentic Orchestration Sample
+
+This sample showcases the Magentic Orchestration Pattern in .NET, setting up a team with three roles:
+
+- **ResearcherAgent** gathers factual background information.
+- **CoderAgent** uses `HostedCodeInterpreterTool` for quantitative analysis.
+- **MagenticManager** plans the work, tracks progress, and decides who should act next.
+
+## What This Sample Demonstrates
+
+- Building a Magentic workflow with `MagenticWorkflowBuilder`
+- Combining standard responses-based agents with a code interpreter-enabled participant
+- Streaming orchestration events such as the initial plan, replans, and progress-ledger updates
+- Printing the final multi-agent conversation transcript
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- `AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT` set to your Azure AI Foundry project endpoint
+- `AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` set to your model deployment name (defaults to `gpt-5.4-mini`)
+- `az login` completed before running the sample
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+```bash
+dotnet run
+```
+
+## Expected Output
+
+The sample prints:
+
+1. The original task prompt
+2. Streamed updates from the participating agents
+3. Magentic plan and progress-ledger events as the workflow coordinates the team
+4. The final conversation transcript returned by the workflow

+# What this sample demonstrates
+
+An [Agent Framework](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework) agent that loads its behavioral guidelines from [**Foundry Skills**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/agents/how-to/tools/skills) at startup, hosted using the **Responses protocol**. Skills are authored once as `SKILL.md` files, uploaded to your Foundry project through the Skills REST API, and downloaded by the agent on boot so updates ship without code changes.
+
+## How It Works

+
+Each skill is a Markdown file with a YAML front matter block. This sample ships two source skills under [`skills/`](skills/):

+| [`support-style`](skills/support-style/SKILL.md) | Voice, formatting, and signature rules for Contoso Outdoors support replies. |
+| [`escalation-policy`](skills/escalation-policy/SKILL.md) | When and how to escalate a customer ticket. |
+
+Each `SKILL.md` includes a unique `*-CANARY-*` token that the model is asked to echo, so you can prove the skill was loaded from Foundry (not hallucinated) by checking the response.
+
+> The `name` and `description` values in the YAML front matter must be **unquoted** — quoting them causes the Skills REST API to return HTTP 500 on import.
+
+### Uploading skills
+
+The sample includes a convenience provisioning step that checks whether each skill exists in Foundry and uploads it if not, gated behind the `PROVISION_SAMPLE_SKILLS=true` env var. **In production, skill provisioning is an external concern** — it is NOT the hosted agent's responsibility. A real deployment pipeline would provision skills separately (e.g., via a CI/CD step, a CLI script, or a management portal).
+
+The provisioning uses `ProjectAgentSkills.CreateSkillFromPackageAsync(directoryPath)` from the `Azure.AI.Projects.Agents` SDK. The method packages the `SKILL.md` file as a ZIP and uploads it to Foundry.
+
+### Downloading skills at agent startup
+
+[`Program.cs`](Program.cs) reads the comma-separated `SKILL_NAMES` env var and for each skill name downloads the ZIP archive from Foundry via `ProjectAgentSkills.DownloadSkillAsync(name)`, then unpacks it into a **separate runtime directory** at `downloaded_skills/<name>/` (kept distinct from the static `skills/` source folder).
+
+An [`AgentSkillsProvider`](../../../../../src/Microsoft.Agents.AI/Skills/AgentSkillsProvider.cs) is then built over `downloaded_skills/` and attached to the agent as a context provider. The provider follows the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io/) progressive-disclosure pattern:
+
+1. **Advertise** — skill names and descriptions are injected into the system prompt at session start (~100 tokens per skill).
+2. **Load** — the model calls the `load_skill` tool when it decides a skill is relevant to the user's turn, and the full `SKILL.md` body is returned.
+
+This means the model only pays the token cost for a skill's full body when it actually needs it, and updating a skill in Foundry + restarting the agent is enough to pick up the change — no code redeploy required.
+
+> **Note:** This sample supports instruction-only and resource-based skills. If your downloaded skills contain scripts, add a script runner when constructing the `AgentSkillsProvider`.
+
+### Agent Hosting
+
+The agent is hosted using the [Agent Framework](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework) with the Responses API hosting layer (`AddFoundryResponses` / `MapFoundryResponses`).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- An Azure AI Foundry project with a deployed model (e.g., `gpt-4o`)
+- Azure CLI logged in (`az login`)
+
+### Required RBAC
+
+Your identity (or the Managed Identity running the container in production) needs **Azure AI User** on the Foundry project scope. This single role covers both authoring skills and downloading them.
+
+## Running the Agent Host
+
+Set the required environment variables and run the sample with `dotnet run`:
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://<account>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project>"
+export AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o"
+export SKILL_NAMES="support-style,escalation-policy"
+export PROVISION_SAMPLE_SKILLS="true"   # First run only — provisions skills to Foundry
+```
+
+Or in PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+$env:SKILL_NAMES="support-style,escalation-policy"
+$env:PROVISION_SAMPLE_SKILLS="true"     # First run only — provisions skills to Foundry
+```
+
+You can also place these in a `.env` file next to `Program.cs` — see [`.env.example`](.env.example).
+
+On startup you should see:
+
+```text
+Skill 'support-style' already exists in Foundry.
+Skill 'escalation-policy' already exists in Foundry.
+Downloading skill 'support-style' from Foundry...
+Downloading skill 'escalation-policy' from Foundry...
+```
+
+The downloaded `SKILL.md` files land under `downloaded_skills/<name>/SKILL.md` next to the published output. This directory is recreated from scratch on every run, so deleting it manually is never necessary.
+
+## Interacting with the agent
+
+> Send a POST request to the server with a JSON body containing an `"input"` field to interact with the agent. For example:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8088/responses -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"input": "Hi, I am Alex. I just want to confirm I can return my tent within 30 days."}'
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8088/responses -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"input": "I want a $750 refund on Order #A-1042 right now or I am calling my lawyer."}'
+```
+
+| Prompt mentions | Skill that should drive the response |
+|---|---|
+| Routine return / shipping / care question | Model loads `support-style` (canary `STYLE-CANARY-3318`) — no escalation. |
+| Injury, legal threat, press, or refund > $500 | Model loads `escalation-policy` (canary `ESC-CANARY-7742`) **and** `support-style`. |
+
+Because skills are loaded on demand, the canary token in a response also proves the model actually invoked `load_skill` for the matching skill (not just saw its name in the advertised list).
+
+## Deploying the Agent to Foundry
+
+When deploying to Foundry, make sure `SKILL_NAMES` is set in your `azd` environment so it gets injected into the hosted container per [`agent.manifest.yaml`](agent.manifest.yaml):
+
+```bash
+azd env set SKILL_NAMES "support-style,escalation-policy"
+```
+
+The deployed agent's Managed Identity needs **Azure AI User** on the Foundry project to download skills at startup.
+
+> The `skills/` source folder is **not** deployed to Foundry — only the downloaded skills are used at runtime. The provisioning step must have been run against the same Foundry project before the agent can download the skills.

+.SYNOPSIS
+  Local smoke test for the Hosted-AgentSkills sample.
+.DESCRIPTION
+  Publishes the sample, builds the contributor Docker image, runs the container, drives
+  two conversations via curl invocations, and asserts that the agent loaded the correct
+  Foundry Skill for each prompt (verified via canary tokens in the response).
+  Exits non-zero on failure.
+
+  Prerequisites:
+    - Docker
+    - az login (token is fetched from the host)
+    - .env populated with AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and model deployment
+    - Skills provisioned to Foundry (set PROVISION_SAMPLE_SKILLS=true on first run)
+.NOTES
+  This script is for local Docker debugging only. The Foundry platform supplies the
+  isolation keys for every inbound request in production and the dev fallback used here
+  must not be enabled in production deployments.
