-          ### 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
-
-          - [x] The code builds clean without any errors or warnings
-          - [x] The PR follows the [Contribution Guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)

 that include breaking changes will be rejected. Please file an issue to discuss
 your idea or change if you believe that a breaking change is warranted.
 
-#### Automated API Compatibility Validation
-
-The .NET projects use [Package Validation](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/package-validation/overview)
-to automatically detect API breaking changes. This validation runs during `dotnet build`
-(Release configuration) and `dotnet pack`, comparing the current API surface against the
-latest published NuGet baseline version.
-
-**What gets validated:** By default, packable RC packages (`IsReleaseCandidate=true`) and
-GA packages (`IsGenerallyAvailable=true`) that have a published NuGet baseline and do not
-override validation settings are automatically validated. The shared baseline version and
-default validation settings are defined in `dotnet/nuget/nuget-package.props`, but
-individual projects may opt out (for example by setting `EnablePackageValidation=false`).
-
-**If the build fails with CP errors (e.g., CP0001, CP0002):**
-
-1. **Unintentional breaking change** — Refactor your code to maintain backward compatibility.
-2. **Intentional breaking change** (approved by maintainers) — Generate a suppression file:
-   ```bash
-   dotnet build <project>.csproj -c Release /p:ApiCompatGenerateSuppressionFile=true
-   ```
-   This creates or updates a `CompatibilitySuppressions.xml` in the project directory.
-   Include this file in your PR with justification for the breaking change.
-
-**After each release:**
-
-1. Delete all `CompatibilitySuppressions.xml` files from validated projects.
-2. Update `PackageValidationBaselineVersion` in `dotnet/nuget/nuget-package.props` to the
-   newly published version.
-
-For more details, see the [Package Validation diagnostic IDs](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/fundamentals/package-validation/diagnostic-ids).

-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Authentication
-
-| Problem | Cause | Fix |
-|---------|-------|-----|
-| Authentication errors when using Azure credentials | Not signed in to Azure CLI | Run `az login` before starting your app |
-| API key errors | Wrong or missing API key | Verify the key and ensure it's for the correct resource/provider |
-
-> **Tip:** `DefaultAzureCredential` is convenient for development but in production, consider using a specific credential (e.g., `ManagedIdentityCredential`) to avoid latency issues, unintended credential probing, and potential security risks from fallback mechanisms.
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-The samples typically read configuration from environment variables. Common required variables:
-
-| Variable | Used by | Purpose |
-|----------|---------|---------|
-| `AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT` | Azure OpenAI samples | Your Azure OpenAI resource URL |
-| `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` | Azure OpenAI samples | Model deployment name (e.g. `gpt-4o-mini`) |
-| `AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT` | Microsoft Foundry samples | Your Microsoft Foundry project endpoint |
-| `AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME` | Microsoft Foundry samples | Model deployment name |
-| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | OpenAI (non-Azure) samples | Your OpenAI platform API key |

-# 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.

-# Foundry agent surface stays centered on `ChatClientAgent`
-
-## Context
-
-The Microsoft Foundry integration exposes two distinct usage patterns:
-
-1. Direct Responses usage, where callers provide model, instructions, and tools at runtime.
-2. Server-side versioned agents, where callers create and manage `AgentVersion` resources through `AIProjectClient.Agents`.
-
-We briefly explored adding public wrapper types such as `FoundryAgent`, `FoundryVersionedAgent`, and `FoundryResponsesChatClient` to make those paths feel more specialized. That direction created extra public types, duplicated existing `ChatClientAgent` behavior, and pushed samples toward compatibility helpers instead of the native Azure SDK flow.
-
-## Decision
-
-Keep the public surface centered on `ChatClientAgent`.
-
-- Direct Responses scenarios use `AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(...)`.
-- Server-side versioned scenarios use native `AIProjectClient.Agents` APIs to create or retrieve agent resources, then wrap `AgentRecord` or `AgentVersion` with `AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(...)`.
-- Compatibility helpers such as `AIProjectClient.CreateAIAgentAsync(...)` and `AIProjectClient.GetAIAgentAsync(...)` remain only as obsolete migration shims.
-- Public wrapper types `FoundryAgent`, `FoundryVersionedAgent`, `FoundryResponsesChatClient`, and `FoundryResponsesChatClientAgent` are not part of the chosen direction.
-
-## Why
-
-- `ChatClientAgent` is already the framework abstraction used everywhere else.
-- `AIProjectClient` is the native Azure SDK entry point for versioned agent lifecycle operations.
-- A single agent abstraction avoids parallel type hierarchies for the same backend.
-- Samples become clearer when they show either:
-  - direct Responses construction via `AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(...)`, or
-  - native Foundry resource management via `AIProjectClient.Agents`.
-
-## Consequences
-
-### Direct Responses path
-
-Use the convenience overloads on `AIProjectClient`:
-
-```csharp
-AIProjectClient aiProjectClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), credential);
-
-ChatClientAgent agent = aiProjectClient.AsAIAgent(
-    model: deploymentName,
-    instructions: "You are good at telling jokes.",
-    name: "JokerAgent");
-```
-
-Or use composed `ChatClientAgent`
-
-```csharp
-ProjectResponsesClient projectResponsesClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), new DefaultAzureCredential(), new AgentReference($"model:{deploymentName}"));
-
-ChatClientAgent agent = new(
-    chatClient: projectResponsesClient.AsIChatClient(),
-    instructions: "You are good at telling jokes.",
-    name: "JokerAgent");
-```
-
-This path is code-first and does not create a persistent server-side agent.
-
-### Versioned agent path
-
-Use the convenience overloads on `AIProjectClient`:
-
-```csharp
-AIProjectClient aiProjectClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), credential);
-
-AgentVersion version = await aiProjectClient.Agents.CreateAgentVersionAsync(
-    "JokerAgent",
-    new AgentVersionCreationOptions(
-        new PromptAgentDefinition(deploymentName)
-        {
-            Instructions = "You are good at telling jokes."
-        }));
-
-ChatClientAgent agent = aiProjectClient.AsAIAgent(version);
-```
-
-Or use composed `ChatClientAgent`
-
-```csharp
-AIProjectClient aiProjectClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), credential);
-
-AgentVersion version = await aiProjectClient.Agents.CreateAgentVersionAsync(
-    "JokerAgent",
-    new AgentVersionCreationOptions(
-        new PromptAgentDefinition(deploymentName)
-        {
-            Instructions = "You are good at telling jokes."
-        }));
-
-ProjectResponsesClient projectResponsesClient = aiProjectClient
-    .GetProjectOpenAIClient()
-    .GetProjectResponsesClientForAgent(new AgentReference(version.Name, version.Version));
-
-ChatClientAgent agent = new(
-    chatClient: projectResponsesClient.AsIChatClient(),
-    name: "JokerAgent");
-```
-
-### Samples
-
-- `FoundryAgents/` samples show the direct Responses path with `AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(...)`.
-- `FoundryVersionedAgents/` samples should show native `AIProjectClient.Agents` create/get/delete flows plus `AsAIAgent(...)`.
-
-### Compatibility APIs
-
-Obsolete helper extensions remain only to ease migration of existing code. New samples and new guidance should not be written against them.
-
-## Rejected direction
-
-Do not introduce or preserve separate public wrapper types whose main purpose is to forward to `ChatClientAgent` while carrying Foundry-specific naming.
-
-That approach:
-
-- duplicates lifecycle concepts already present on `AIProjectClient`,
-- fragments the public API,
-- complicates samples and docs,
-- and makes migration harder by encouraging wrapper-specific affordances.

-# Agent Skills: Multi-Source Architecture
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-The Agent Framework needs a skills system that lets agents discover and use domain-specific knowledge, reference documents, and executable scripts. Skills can originate from different sources — filesystem directories (SKILL.md files), inline C# code, or reusable class libraries — and the framework must support all three uniformly while allowing extensibility, composition, and filtering.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- Skills must be definable from multiple sources: filesystem, inline code, reusable classes, etc
-- Common abstractions are needed so the provider and builder work uniformly regardless of skill origin
-- File-based scripts must support user-defined executors, enabling custom runtimes and languages; code/class-based scripts execute in-process as C# delegates
-- Skills must be filterable so consumers can include or exclude specific skills based on defined criteria
-- Multiple skill sources must be composable into a single provider
-- It must be possible to add custom skill sources (e.g., databases, REST APIs, package registries) by implementing a common abstraction
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Model-Facing Tools
-
-Skills are presented to the model as up to three tools that progressively disclose skill content. The system prompt lists available skill names and descriptions; the model then calls these tools on demand:
-
-- **`load_skill(skillName)`** — returns the full skill body (instructions, listed resources, listed scripts)
-- **`read_skill_resource(skillName, resourceName)`** — reads a supplementary resource (file-based or code-defined) associated with a skill
-- **`run_skill_script(skillName, scriptName, arguments?)`** — executes a script associated with a skill; only registered when at least one skill contains scripts
-
-Each tool delegates to the corresponding method on the resolved `AgentSkill` — calling `Resource.ReadAsync()` or `Script.RunAsync()` respectively.
-
-If skills have no scripts defined, the `run_skill_script` tool is **not advertised** to the model and instructions related to script execution are **not included** in the default skills instructions.
-
-### Abstract Base Types
-
-The architecture defines four abstract base types that all skill variants implement:
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class AgentSkill
-{
-    public abstract AgentSkillFrontmatter Frontmatter { get; }
-    public abstract string Content { get; }
-    public abstract IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? Resources { get; }
-    public abstract IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? Scripts { get; }
-}
-
-public abstract class AgentSkillResource
-{
-    public string Name { get; }
-    public string? Description { get; }
-    public abstract Task<object?> ReadAsync(IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-
-public abstract class AgentSkillScript
-{
-    public string Name { get; }
-    public string? Description { get; }
-    public abstract Task<object?> RunAsync(AgentSkill skill, AIFunctionArguments arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-
-public abstract class AgentSkillsSource
-{
-    public abstract Task<IList<AgentSkill>> GetSkillsAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-```
-
-Skill metadata is captured via `AgentSkillFrontmatter`:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentSkillFrontmatter
-{
-    public AgentSkillFrontmatter(string name, string description) { ... }
-
-    public string Name { get; }
-    public string Description { get; }
-    public string? License { get; set; }
-    public string? Compatibility { get; set; }
-    public string? AllowedTools { get; set; }
-    public AdditionalPropertiesDictionary? Metadata { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-The type hierarchy at a glance:
-
-```
-AgentSkill (abstract)                   AgentSkillsSource (abstract)
-├── AgentFileSkill                      ├── AgentFileSkillsSource          (public)
-└── [Programmatic]                      ├── AgentInMemorySkillsSource      (public)
-    ├── AgentInlineSkill                ├── AggregatingAgentSkillsSource     (public)
-    └── AgentClassSkill (abstract)      └── DelegatingAgentSkillsSource    (abstract, public)
-                                            ├── FilteringAgentSkillsSource  (public)
-AgentSkillResource (abstract)               ├── CachingAgentSkillsSource    (public)
-├── AgentFileSkillResource                  └── DeduplicatingAgentSkillsSource (public)
-└── AgentInlineSkillResource
-                                        AgentSkillScript (abstract)
-                                        ├── AgentFileSkillScript
-                                        └── AgentInlineSkillScript
-```
-
-There are two top-level categories of skills:
-
-1. **File-Based Skills** — discovered from `SKILL.md` files on the filesystem. Resources and scripts are files in subdirectories.
-2. **Programmatic Skills** — defined in C# code. These are further divided into:
-   - **Inline Skills** — built at runtime via the `AgentInlineSkill` class and its fluent API. Ideal for quick, agent-specific skill definitions.
-   - **Class-Based Skills** — defined as reusable C# classes that subclass `AgentClassSkill`. Ideal for packaging skills as shared libraries or NuGet packages.
-
-Both programmatic skill types use `AgentInlineSkillResource` and `AgentInlineSkillScript` for their resources and scripts. They are typically served by `AgentInMemorySkillsSource`, which accepts any `AgentSkill` and is not limited to programmatic skills.
-
-### File-Based Skills
-
-File-based skills are authored as `SKILL.md` files on disk. Resources and scripts are discovered from corresponding subfolders within the skill directory.
-
-**`AgentFileSkill`** — A filesystem-based skill discovered from a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file. Parsed from YAML frontmatter; content is the raw markdown body. Resources and scripts are discovered from files in corresponding subfolders:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentFileSkill : AgentSkill
-{
-    internal AgentFileSkill(
-        AgentSkillFrontmatter frontmatter, string content, string path,
-        IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? resources = null,
-        IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? scripts = null) { ... }
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentFileSkillResource`** — A file-based skill resource. Reads content from a file on disk relative to the skill directory:
-
-```csharp
-internal sealed class AgentFileSkillResource : AgentSkillResource
-{
-    public AgentFileSkillResource(string name, string fullPath) { ... }
-
-    public string FullPath { get; }
-
-    public override Task<object?> ReadAsync(IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        return File.ReadAllTextAsync(FullPath, Encoding.UTF8, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentFileSkillScript`** — A file-based skill script that represents a script file on disk. Delegates execution to an external `AgentFileSkillScriptRunner` callback (e.g., runs Python/shell via `Process.Start`). Throws `NotSupportedException` if no executor is configured:
-
-```csharp
-public delegate Task<object?> AgentFileSkillScriptRunner(
-    AgentFileSkill skill, AgentFileSkillScript script,
-    AIFunctionArguments arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken);
-
-public sealed class AgentFileSkillScript : AgentSkillScript
-{
-    private readonly AgentFileSkillScriptRunner _executor;
-
-    internal AgentFileSkillScript(string name, string fullPath, AgentFileSkillScriptRunner executor)
-        : base(name) { ... }
-
-    public override async Task<object?> RunAsync(AgentSkill skill, AIFunctionArguments arguments, ...)
-    {
-
-        return await _executor(fileSkill, this, arguments, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The executor can be provided at the **provider level** via `AgentSkillsProviderBuilder.UseFileScriptRunner(executor)` and optionally overridden for a **particular file skill** or for a **set of skills** at the file skill source level, giving fine-grained control over how different scripts are executed.
-
-**`AgentFileSkillsSource`** — A skill source that discovers skills from filesystem directories containing `SKILL.md` files. Recursively scans directories (max 2 levels), validates frontmatter, and enforces path traversal and symlink security checks:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed partial class AgentFileSkillsSource : AgentSkillsSource
-{
-    public AgentFileSkillsSource(
-        IEnumerable<string> skillPaths,
-        AgentFileSkillScriptRunner scriptRunner,
-        AgentFileSkillsSourceOptions? options = null,
-        ILoggerFactory? loggerFactory = null) { ... }
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentFileSkillsSourceOptions`** — Configuration options for `AgentFileSkillsSource`. Allows customizing the allowed file extensions for resources and scripts without adding constructor parameters:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentFileSkillsSourceOptions
-{
-    public IEnumerable<string>? AllowedResourceExtensions { get; set; }
-    public IEnumerable<string>? AllowedScriptExtensions { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-**Example** — A file-based skill on disk and how it is added to a source:
-
-```
-skills/
-└── unit-converter/
-    ├── SKILL.md               # frontmatter + instructions
-    ├── resources/
-    │   └── conversion-table.csv   # discovered as a resource
-    └── scripts/
-        └── convert.py             # discovered as a script
-```
-
-```csharp
-var source = new AgentFileSkillsSource(skillPaths: ["./skills"], scriptRunner: SubprocessScriptRunner.RunAsync);
-
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProvider(source);
-
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-```
-
-### Programmatic Skills
-
-Programmatic skills are defined in C# code rather than discovered from the filesystem. There are two kinds: **inline** and **class-based**. Both use `AgentInlineSkillResource` and `AgentInlineSkillScript` for resources and scripts, and are held by a single `AgentInMemorySkillsSource`.
-
-**`AgentInMemorySkillsSource`** — A general-purpose skill source that holds any `AgentSkill` instances in memory. Although commonly used for programmatic skills (`AgentInlineSkill` and `AgentClassSkill`), it accepts any `AgentSkill` subclass and is not restricted to code-defined skills:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentInMemorySkillsSource : AgentSkillsSource
-{
-    public AgentInMemorySkillsSource(
-        IEnumerable<AgentSkill> skills,
-        ILoggerFactory? loggerFactory = null) { ... }
-}
-```
-
-#### Inline Skills
-
-Inline skills are built at runtime via the `AgentInlineSkill` class and its fluent API. They are ideal for quick, agent-specific skill definitions where a full class hierarchy would be overkill.
-
-**`AgentInlineSkill`** — A skill defined entirely in code. Resources can be static values or functions; scripts are always functions. Constructed with name, description, and instructions, then extended with resources and scripts:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentInlineSkill : AgentSkill
-{
-    public AgentInlineSkill(string name, string description, string instructions, string? license = null, string? compatibility = null, ...) { ... }
-    public AgentInlineSkill(AgentSkillFrontmatter frontmatter, string instructions) { ... }
-
-    public AgentInlineSkill AddResource(object value, string name, string? description = null);
-    public AgentInlineSkill AddResource(Delegate handler, string name, string? description = null);
-    public AgentInlineSkill AddScript(Delegate handler, string name, string? description = null);
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentInlineSkillResource`** — A skill resource that wraps a static value:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentInlineSkillResource : AgentSkillResource
-{
-    public AgentInlineSkillResource(object value, string name, string? description = null)
-        : base(name, description)
-    {
-        _value = value;
-    }
-
-    public override Task<object?> ReadAsync(IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        return Task.FromResult<object?>(_value);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentInlineSkillResource`** — A skill resource backed by a delegate. The delegate is invoked via an `AIFunction` each time `ReadAsync` is called, producing a dynamic (computed) value:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentInlineSkillResource : AgentSkillResource
-{
-    public AgentInlineSkillResource(Delegate handler, string name, string? description = null)
-        : base(name, description)
-    {
-        _function = AIFunctionFactory.Create(handler, name: name);
-    }
-
-    public override async Task<object?> ReadAsync(IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        return await _function.InvokeAsync(new AIFunctionArguments() { Services = serviceProvider }, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`AgentInlineSkillScript`** — A skill script backed by a delegate via an `AIFunction`:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class AgentInlineSkillScript : AgentSkillScript
-{
-    private readonly AIFunction _function;
-
-    public AgentInlineSkillScript(Delegate handler, string name, string? description = null)
-        : base(name, description)
-    {
-        _function = AIFunctionFactory.Create(handler, name: name);
-    }
-
-    public JsonElement? ParametersSchema => _function.JsonSchema;
-
-    public override async Task<object?> RunAsync(AgentSkill skill, AIFunctionArguments arguments, ...)
-    {
-        return await _function.InvokeAsync(arguments, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Example** — Creating an inline skill with a resource and script, then adding it to a source:
-
-```csharp
-var skill = new AgentInlineSkill(
-        name: "unit-converter",
-        description: "Converts between measurement units.",
-        instructions: """
-            Use this skill to convert values between metric and imperial units.
-            Refer to the conversion-table resource for supported unit pairs.
-            Run the convert script to perform conversions.
-            """
-    )
-    .AddResource("kg=2.205lb, m=3.281ft, L=0.264gal", "conversion-table", "Supported unit pairs")
-    .AddScript(Convert, "convert", "Converts a value between units");
-
-var source = new AgentInMemorySkillsSource([skill]);
-
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProvider(source);
-
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-
-static string Convert(double value, double factor)
-    => JsonSerializer.Serialize(new { result = Math.Round(value * factor, 4) });
-```
-
-#### Class-Based Skills
-
-Class-based skills are designed for packaging skills as reusable libraries. Users subclass `AgentClassSkill` and override properties. Unlike inline skills, class-based skills are self-contained, can live in shared libraries or NuGet packages, and are well-suited for dependency injection.
-
-**`AgentClassSkill`** — An abstract base class for defining skills as reusable C# classes that bundle all skill components (frontmatter, instructions, resources, scripts) together. Designed for packaging skills as distributable libraries:
-
-```csharp
-public abstract class AgentClassSkill : AgentSkill
-{
-    public abstract string Instructions { get; }
-
-    // Content is auto-synthesized from Frontmatter + Instructions + Resources + Scripts
-    public override string Content =>
-        SkillContentBuilder.BuildContent(Frontmatter.Name, Frontmatter.Description,
-            SkillContentBuilder.BuildBody(Instructions, Resources, Scripts));
-}
-```
-
-**Example** — Defining a class-based skill and adding it to a source:
-
-```csharp
-public class UnitConverterSkill : AgentClassSkill
-{
-    public override AgentSkillFrontmatter Frontmatter { get; } =
-        new("unit-converter", "Converts between measurement units.");
-
-    public override string Instructions => """
-        Use this skill to convert values between metric and imperial units.
-        Refer to the conversion-table resource for supported unit pairs.
-        Run the convert script to perform conversions.
-        """;
-

-## Filtering, Caching, and Deduplication
-
-The following subsections present alternative approaches for handling filtering, caching, and deduplication of skills across multiple sources.
-
-### Via Composition
-
-In this approach, the `AgentSkillsProvider` accepts a **single** `AgentSkillsSource`. Multiple sources are composed externally via an aggregate source, and cross-cutting concerns like filtering, caching, and deduplication are implemented as **source decorators** — subclasses of `DelegatingAgentSkillsSource` that intercept `GetSkillsAsync()`.
-
-**`FilteringAgentSkillsSource`** — A decorator that applies filter logic before returning results. The decorator pattern keeps filtering orthogonal to source implementations and allows composing multiple filters:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class FilteringAgentSkillsSource : DelegatingAgentSkillsSource
-{
-    private readonly Func<AgentSkill, bool> _predicate;
-
-    public FilteringAgentSkillsSource(AgentSkillsSource innerSource, Func<AgentSkill, bool> predicate)
-        : base(innerSource)
-    {
-        _predicate = predicate;
-    }
-
-    public override async Task<IList<AgentSkill>> GetSkillsAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        var skills = await this.InnerSource.GetSkillsAsync(cancellationToken);
-        return skills.Where(_predicate).ToList();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`CachingAgentSkillsSource`** — A decorator that caches skills after the first load, keeping the provider stateless and giving consumers control over caching granularity per source. For example, file-based skills (expensive to discover) can be cached while code-defined skills remain uncached:
-
-```csharp
-public sealed class CachingAgentSkillsSource : DelegatingAgentSkillsSource
-{
-    private IList<AgentSkill>? _cached;
-
-    public CachingAgentSkillsSource(AgentSkillsSource innerSource)
-        : base(innerSource)
-    {
-    }
-
-    public override async Task<IList<AgentSkill>> GetSkillsAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        return _cached ??= await this.InnerSource.GetSkillsAsync(cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Deduplication** is similarly implemented as a decorator (`DeduplicatingAgentSkillsSource`) that deduplicates by name (case-insensitive, first-one-wins) and logs a warning for skipped duplicates.
-
-**Example** — Combining file-based and code-defined sources with filtering and caching:
-
-```csharp
-var fileSource = new CachingAgentSkillsSource(new AgentFileSkillsSource(["./skills"]));
-var codeSource = new AgentInMemorySkillsSource([myCodeSkill]);
-
-var compositeSource = new FilteringAgentSkillsSource(
-    new AggregatingAgentSkillsSource([fileSource, codeSource]),
-    filter: s => s.Frontmatter.Name != "internal");
-
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProvider(compositeSource);
-
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- Clean single-responsibility: the provider serves skills, sources provide them.
-- Caching, filtering, and deduplication are composable as source decorators — each concern is a separate, testable wrapper.
-
-**Cons:**
-- DI is less flexible: multiple `AgentSkillsSource` implementations registered in the container cannot be auto-injected into the provider. The consumer must manually compose them via an aggregate source.
-- Increased public API surface: requires additional public classes (aggregate source, caching decorators, filtering decorators) that consumers need to learn and use.
-
-### Via AgentSkillsProvider
-
-In this approach, the `AgentSkillsProvider` accepts **`IEnumerable<AgentSkillsSource>`** and handles aggregation, filtering, caching, and deduplication internally.
-
-The provider aggregates skills from all registered sources, deduplicates by name (case-insensitive, first-one-wins), caches the result after the first load, and optionally applies filtering via a predicate on `AgentSkillsProviderOptions`. Duplicate skill names are logged as warnings.
-
-**Example** — Registering multiple sources directly with the provider:
-
-```csharp
-// Conceptual example — in practice, use AgentSkillsProviderBuilder
-var fileSource = new AgentFileSkillsSource(["./skills"]);
-var codeSource = new AgentInMemorySkillsSource([myCodeSkill]);
-
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProvider(
-    sources: [fileSource, codeSource],
-    options: new AgentSkillsProviderOptions
-    {
-        Filter = s => s.Frontmatter.Name != "internal",
-    });
-
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-- DI-friendly: register multiple `AgentSkillsSource` implementations in the container, and they are all auto-injected into `AgentSkillsProvider` via `IEnumerable<AgentSkillsSource>`.
-- Smaller public API surface: no need for aggregate source, caching decorators, or filtering decorator classes — these concerns are handled internally by the provider.
-
-**Cons:**
-- The provider takes on multiple responsibilities — aggregation, caching, deduplication, and filtering.
-- Less granular caching control: caching is all-or-nothing across sources rather than per-source as with decorators.
-- Less extensible: new behaviors (e.g., ordering, TTL expiration) require modifying the provider rather than adding a decorator.
-
-### Builder Pattern
-
-**`AgentSkillsProviderBuilder`** provides a fluent API for composing skills from multiple sources. The builder centralizes configuration — script executors, approval callbacks, prompt templates, and filtering — so consumers don't need to know the underlying source types.
-
-The builder internally decides how to wire up the object graph: it creates the appropriate source instances, applies caching and filtering, and returns a fully configured `AgentSkillsProvider`. This keeps the setup code concise while still allowing fine-grained control when needed.
-
-**Example** — Using the builder to combine multiple source types with configuration:
-
-```csharp
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProviderBuilder()
-    .UseFileSkill("./skills")                           // file-based source
-    .UseInlineSkills(codeSkill)                            // code-defined source
-    .UseClassSkills(new ClassSkill())                    // class-based source
-    .UseFileScriptRunner(SubprocessScriptRunner.RunAsync) // script runner
-    .UseScriptApproval()                                // optional human-in-the-loop
-    .UsePromptTemplate(customTemplate)                  // optional prompt customization
-    .UseFilter(s => s.Frontmatter.Name != "internal")   // optional skill filtering
-    .Build();
-
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(new ChatClientAgentOptions
-{
-    AIContextProviders = [provider],
-});
-```
-
-## Adding a Custom Skill Type
-
-The skills framework is designed for extensibility. While file-based and inline skills cover common
-scenarios, you can introduce entirely new skill types by subclassing the four base classes:
-
-| Base class            | Purpose                                             |
-|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
-| `AgentSkillsSource`   | Discovers and loads skills from a particular origin  |
-| `AgentSkill`          | Holds metadata, content, resources, and scripts      |
-| `AgentSkillResource`  | Provides supplementary content to a skill            |
-| `AgentSkillScript`    | Represents an executable action within a skill       |
-
-The example below implements a **cloud-based skill type** where skills, resources, and scripts are
-all stored in and executed through a remote cloud service (e.g., Azure Blob Storage + Azure Functions).
-
-### Step 1 — Define a custom resource
-
-A `CloudSkillResource` reads resource content from a cloud storage endpoint instead of the local
-filesystem:
-
-```csharp
-/// <summary>
-/// A skill resource backed by a cloud storage endpoint.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class CloudSkillResource : AgentSkillResource
-{
-    private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;
-
-    public CloudSkillResource(string name, Uri blobUri, HttpClient httpClient, string? description = null)
-        : base(name, description)
-    {
-        BlobUri = blobUri ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(blobUri));
-        _httpClient = httpClient ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(httpClient));
-    }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the URI of the cloud blob that holds this resource's content.
-    /// </summary>
-    public Uri BlobUri { get; }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override async Task<object?> ReadAsync(
-        IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        return await _httpClient.GetStringAsync(BlobUri, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Step 2 — Define a custom script
-
-A `CloudSkillScript` executes a script by calling a cloud function endpoint, passing arguments as
-the request body:
-
-```csharp
-/// <summary>
-/// A skill script executed via a cloud function endpoint.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class CloudSkillScript : AgentSkillScript
-{
-    private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;
-
-    public CloudSkillScript(string name, Uri functionUri, HttpClient httpClient, string? description = null)
-        : base(name, description)
-    {
-        FunctionUri = functionUri ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(functionUri));
-        _httpClient = httpClient ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(httpClient));
-    }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the URI of the cloud function that runs this script.
-    /// </summary>
-    public Uri FunctionUri { get; }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override async Task<object?> RunAsync(
-        AgentSkill skill,
-        AIFunctionArguments arguments,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(arguments);
-        using var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
-        var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync(FunctionUri, content, cancellationToken)
-            .ConfigureAwait(false);
-        response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
-        return await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Step 3 — Define a custom skill
-
-A `CloudSkill` bundles cloud-specific metadata (e.g., the base endpoint) with the standard skill
-shape:
-
-```csharp
-/// <summary>
-/// An <see cref="AgentSkill"/> whose content, resources, and scripts are stored in a cloud service.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class CloudSkill : AgentSkill
-{
-    public CloudSkill(
-        AgentSkillFrontmatter frontmatter,
-        string content,
-        Uri endpoint,
-        IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? resources = null,
-        IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? scripts = null)
-    {
-        Frontmatter = frontmatter ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(frontmatter));
-        Content = content ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(content));
-        Endpoint = endpoint ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(endpoint));
-        Resources = resources;
-        Scripts = scripts;
-    }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override AgentSkillFrontmatter Frontmatter { get; }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override string Content { get; }
-
-    /// <summary>
-    /// Gets the base cloud endpoint for this skill.
-    /// </summary>
-    public Uri Endpoint { get; }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? Resources { get; }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? Scripts { get; }
-}
-```
-
-### Step 4 — Define a custom source
-
-A `CloudSkillsSource` discovers skills from a cloud catalog API and constructs `CloudSkill`
-instances with their associated resources and scripts:
-
-```csharp
-/// <summary>
-/// A skill source that discovers and loads skills from a cloud catalog API.
-/// </summary>
-public sealed class CloudSkillsSource : AgentSkillsSource
-{
-    private readonly Uri _catalogUri;
-    private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;
-
-    public CloudSkillsSource(Uri catalogUri, HttpClient httpClient)
-    {
-        _catalogUri = catalogUri ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(catalogUri));
-        _httpClient = httpClient ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(httpClient));
-    }
-
-    /// <inheritdoc/>
-    public override async Task<IList<AgentSkill>> GetSkillsAsync(
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
-    {
-        // Fetch the skill catalog from the cloud service.
-        var json = await _httpClient.GetStringAsync(_catalogUri, cancellationToken)
-            .ConfigureAwait(false);
-        var catalog = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<CloudSkillCatalog>(json)!;
-
-        var skills = new List<AgentSkill>();
-
-        foreach (var entry in catalog.Skills)
-        {
-            var frontmatter = new AgentSkillFrontmatter(entry.Name, entry.Description);
-
-            // Build cloud-backed resources.
-            var resources = entry.Resources
-                .Select(r => new CloudSkillResource(r.Name, r.BlobUri, _httpClient, r.Description))
-                .ToList<AgentSkillResource>();
-
-            // Build cloud-backed scripts.
-            var scripts = entry.Scripts
-                .Select(s => new CloudSkillScript(s.Name, s.FunctionUri, _httpClient, s.Description))
-                .ToList<AgentSkillScript>();
-
-            skills.Add(new CloudSkill(frontmatter, entry.Content, entry.Endpoint, resources, scripts));
-        }
-
-        return skills;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Step 5 — Register with the builder
-
-Use `UseSource` to wire the custom source into the provider:
-
-```csharp
-var httpClient = new HttpClient();
-
-var provider = new AgentSkillsProviderBuilder()
-    .UseSource(new CloudSkillsSource(
-        new Uri("https://my-service.example.com/skills/catalog"),
-        httpClient))
-    // Mix with other source types if needed:
-    .UseFileSkill("/local/skills", scriptRunner)
-    .UseInlineSkills(someInlineSkill)
-    .Build();
-```
-
-The `AgentSkillsProvider` handles all skill types uniformly — any combination of file-based, inline,
-class-based, and custom skills can coexist in the same provider. Custom skills automatically
-participate in the model-facing tools (`load_skill`, `read_skill_resource`, `run_skill_script`),
-filtering, deduplication, and caching — no additional integration work is required.
-
-## Script Representation: `AgentSkillScript` vs `AIFunction`
-
-Two approaches were considered for representing executable scripts within skills:
-
-### Option A — Custom `AgentSkillScript` abstract base class (original design)
-
-Scripts are modeled as a custom `AgentSkillScript` abstract class with `Name`, `Description`, and
-`RunAsync(AgentSkill, AIFunctionArguments, CancellationToken)`. Concrete implementations:
-`AgentInlineSkillScript` (wraps a delegate/`AIFunction`) and `AgentFileSkillScript` (wraps a file path + executor delegate).
-
-```csharp
-// Base type
-public abstract class AgentSkillScript
-{
-    public string Name { get; }
-    public string? Description { get; }
-    public abstract Task<object?> RunAsync(AgentSkill skill, AIFunctionArguments arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-
-// AgentSkill exposes scripts as:
-public abstract IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? Scripts { get; }
-
-// Inline script wraps an AIFunction internally
-var script = new AgentInlineSkillScript(ConvertUnits, "convert");
-
-// Pre-built AIFunction must be wrapped
-var script = new AgentInlineSkillScript(myAIFunction);
-
-// Class-based skill declares scripts as:
-public override IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillScript>? Scripts { get; } =
-[
-    new AgentInlineSkillScript(ConvertUnits, "convert"),
-];
-
-// Provider executes scripts by passing the owning skill:
-await script.RunAsync(skill, arguments, cancellationToken);
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- **Explicit skill context at execution time.** `RunAsync` receives the owning `AgentSkill`, so any script can access skill metadata or resources during execution without requiring construction-time wiring.
-- **Self-contained abstraction.** A dedicated type communicates clearly that scripts are a skills-framework concept, separate from general-purpose AI functions.
-- **Easier extensibility for custom script types.** Third-party implementations can subclass `AgentSkillScript` and access the owning skill in `RunAsync` without special setup.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- **Wrapper overhead.** `AgentInlineSkillScript` is a thin pass-through around `AIFunction` — it adds a class, a constructor, and an indirection layer for no behavioral difference.
-- **Parallel abstraction.** `AgentSkillScript` and `AIFunction` serve overlapping purposes (named callable with arguments), creating two parallel hierarchies for the same concept.
-- **Friction for consumers.** Users who already have `AIFunction` instances must wrap them in `AgentInlineSkillScript` to use them as scripts, adding ceremony.
-
-### Option B — Reuse `AIFunction` directly
-
-Scripts are represented as `AIFunction` (from `Microsoft.Extensions.AI`). `AgentSkill.Scripts` returns
-`IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>?`. `AgentInlineSkillScript` is eliminated entirely — callers use
-`AIFunctionFactory.Create(delegate, name: ...)` or pass `AIFunction` instances directly.
-`AgentFileSkillScript` becomes an `AIFunction` subclass that captures its owning `AgentFileSkill` via
-an internal back-reference set during construction.
-
-```csharp
-// AgentSkill exposes scripts as AIFunction directly:
-public abstract IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>? Scripts { get; }
-
-// Inline scripts use AIFunctionFactory — no wrapper class needed
-var skill = new AgentInlineSkill("my-skill", "desc", "instructions");
-skill.AddScript(ConvertUnits, "convert");           // delegate
-skill.AddScript(myAIFunction);                       // pre-built AIFunction — no wrapping
-
-// Class-based skill declares scripts as:
-public override IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>? Scripts { get; } =
-[
-    AIFunctionFactory.Create(ConvertUnits, name: "convert"),
-];
-
-// Provider executes scripts via standard AIFunction invocation:
-await script.InvokeAsync(arguments, cancellationToken);
-
-// File-based scripts extend AIFunction and capture the owning skill internally:
-public sealed class AgentFileSkillScript : AIFunction
-{
-    internal AgentFileSkill? Skill { get; set; }   // set by AgentFileSkill constructor
-
-    protected override async ValueTask<object?> InvokeCoreAsync(
-        AIFunctionArguments arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-    {
-        return await _executor(Skill!, this, arguments, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- **Fewer types.** Eliminates `AgentSkillScript` and `AgentInlineSkillScript`, reducing the public API surface by two classes.
-- **Seamless interop.** Any `AIFunction` — whether from `AIFunctionFactory`, a custom subclass, or an external library — can be used as a skill script with zero wrapping.
-- **Consistent with `Microsoft.Extensions.AI` ecosystem.** Scripts share the same type as tool functions used by `IChatClient` and `FunctionInvokingChatClient`, reducing conceptual overhead for developers already familiar with the ecosystem.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- **No owning-skill context in invocation signature.** `AIFunction.InvokeAsync` does not accept an `AgentSkill` parameter, so `AgentFileSkillScript` must capture its owning skill via an internal setter during construction. This adds a construction-order dependency: the skill must set the back-reference on its scripts.
-- **Custom script types lose automatic skill access.** Third-party `AIFunction` subclasses that need the owning skill must implement their own mechanism (e.g., constructor injection, closure capture) instead of receiving it as a method parameter.
-- **Semantic overloading.** `AIFunction` now means both "a tool the model can call" and "a script within a skill", which could blur the distinction for framework users.
-
-## Resource Representation: `AgentSkillResource` vs `AIFunction`
-
-Two approaches were considered for representing skill resources (supplementary content such as references, assets, or dynamic data):
-
-### Option A — Custom `AgentSkillResource` abstract base class (original design)
-
-Resources are modeled as a custom `AgentSkillResource` abstract class with `Name`, `Description`, and
-`ReadAsync(IServiceProvider?, CancellationToken)`. Concrete implementations:
-`AgentInlineSkillResource` (static value, delegate, or `AIFunction` wrapper) and `AgentFileSkillResource` (reads file content from disk).
-
-```csharp
-// Base type
-public abstract class AgentSkillResource
-{
-    public string Name { get; }
-    public string? Description { get; }
-    public abstract Task<object?> ReadAsync(IServiceProvider? serviceProvider = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-
-// AgentSkill exposes resources as:
-public abstract IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? Resources { get; }
-
-// Static resource
-var resource = new AgentInlineSkillResource("static content", "my-resource");
-
-// Dynamic resource (delegate)
-var resource = new AgentInlineSkillResource((IServiceProvider sp) => GetData(sp), "my-resource");
-
-// Pre-built AIFunction must be wrapped
-var resource = new AgentInlineSkillResource(myAIFunction);
-
-// Class-based skill declares resources as:
-public override IReadOnlyList<AgentSkillResource>? Resources { get; } =
-[
-    new AgentInlineSkillResource("# Conversion Tables\n...", "conversion-table"),
-];
-
-// Provider reads resources via:
-await resource.ReadAsync(serviceProvider, cancellationToken);
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- **Clear semantic distinction.** A dedicated `AgentSkillResource` type distinguishes resources (data providers) from scripts (executable actions), making the API self-documenting.
-- **Purpose-built API.** `ReadAsync` communicates intent better than `InvokeAsync` for a data-access operation.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- **Wrapper overhead.** `AgentInlineSkillResource` wraps `AIFunction` internally for delegate/function cases — adding a class and indirection for no behavioral difference.
-- **Parallel abstraction.** `AgentSkillResource` and `AIFunction` serve overlapping purposes (named callable that returns data), creating two parallel hierarchies.
-- **Friction for consumers.** Users who already have `AIFunction` instances must wrap them in `AgentInlineSkillResource`, adding ceremony.
-
-### Option B — Reuse `AIFunction` directly
-
-Resources are represented as `AIFunction`. `AgentSkill.Resources` returns `IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>?`.
-`AgentInlineSkillResource` becomes an `AIFunction` subclass (retained as a convenience for the static-value
-pattern: `new AgentInlineSkillResource("data", "name")`). `AgentFileSkillResource` becomes an `AIFunction`
-subclass that reads file content.
-
-```csharp
-// AgentSkill exposes resources as AIFunction directly:
-public abstract IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>? Resources { get; }
-
-// Static resource — AgentInlineSkillResource is retained as a convenience AIFunction subclass
-var resource = new AgentInlineSkillResource("static content", "my-resource");
-
-// Dynamic resource — AgentInlineSkillResource wraps delegate as AIFunction
-var resource = new AgentInlineSkillResource((IServiceProvider sp) => GetData(sp), "my-resource");
-
-// Pre-built AIFunction can be used directly — no wrapping needed
-skill.AddResource(myAIFunction);
-
-// Class-based skill declares resources as:
-public override IReadOnlyList<AIFunction>? Resources { get; } =
-[
-    new AgentInlineSkillResource("# Conversion Tables\n...", "conversion-table"),
-];
-
-// Provider reads resources via standard AIFunction invocation:
-await resource.InvokeAsync(arguments, cancellationToken);
-
-// File-based resources extend AIFunction directly:
-internal sealed class AgentFileSkillResource : AIFunction
-{
-    public string FullPath { get; }
-
-    protected override async ValueTask<object?> InvokeCoreAsync(
-        AIFunctionArguments arguments, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-    {
-        return await File.ReadAllTextAsync(FullPath, Encoding.UTF8, cancellationToken);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Pros:**
-
-- **Fewer base types.** Eliminates the `AgentSkillResource` abstract class, reducing the public API surface.
-- **Seamless interop.** Any `AIFunction` can be used as a skill resource with zero wrapping.
-
-**Cons:**
-
-- **Loss of semantic distinction.** Resources and scripts are now both `AIFunction`, which could make it less obvious which list a function belongs to when reading code.
-- **Static values require a wrapper.** Unlike the original `ReadAsync` which could return a stored value directly, `AIFunction.InvokeAsync` implies invocation. `AgentInlineSkillResource` is retained as a convenience subclass to handle the static-value case, so this is not eliminated — just moved to a different class.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-### 1. Keep `AgentSkillResource` and `AgentSkillScript` (Option A for both sections)
-
-We are staying with the custom `AgentSkillResource` and `AgentSkillScript` model classes instead of reusing `AIFunction`:
-
-- **Resources have no parameters.** If a consumer provides an `AIFunction` with parameters, those parameters will never be advertised to the LLM, and the resulting call will fail.
-- **Approval breaks for `AIFunction`-based representations.** When a resource or script represented by an `AIFunction` is configured with approval, the second approval invocation will not work correctly.
-- **Injecting the owning skill into an `AIFunction`-based script is problematic.** Constructor injection would introduce a circular reference between the skill and the script. An internal property setter is possible but adds coupling.
-
-### 2. Make all agent skill classes internal
-
-All agent-skill-related classes are made `internal` to minimize the public API surface while the feature matures. We can reconsider and promote types to `public` later based on community signal.
-
-This leaves two public entry points:
-
-- **`AgentSkillsProvider`** — use directly when all skills come from a single source and filtering is not needed.
-- **`AgentSkillsProviderBuilder`** — use when mixing skill types or when filtering support is required.
-
-### 3. Caching at provider level
-
-Caching of tools and instructions is implemented inside `AgentSkillsProvider` rather than as an external decorator. Recreating tools and instructions on every provider call is wasteful, and a caching decorator sitting outside the provider would not have the information needed to cache them effectively.

-# Provider-Leading Client Design & OpenAI Package Extraction
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-The `agent-framework-core` package currently bundles OpenAI and Azure OpenAI client implementations along with their dependencies (`openai`, `azure-identity`, `azure-ai-projects`, `packaging`). This makes core heavier than necessary for users who don't use OpenAI, and it conflates the core abstractions with a specific provider implementation. Additionally, the current class naming (`OpenAIResponsesClient`, `OpenAIChatClient`) is based on the underlying OpenAI API names rather than what users actually want to do, making discoverability harder for newcomers.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- **Lightweight core**: Core should only contain abstractions, middleware infrastructure, and telemetry — no provider-specific code or dependencies.
-- **Discoverability-first**: Import namespaces should guide users to the right client. `from agent_framework.openai import ...` should surface all OpenAI-related clients; `from agent_framework.azure import ...` should surface Foundry, Azure AI, and other Azure-specific classes.
-- **Provider-leading naming**: The primary client name should reflect the provider, not the underlying API. The Responses API is now the recommended default for OpenAI, so its client should be called `OpenAIChatClient` (not `OpenAIResponsesClient`).
-- **Clean separation of concerns**: Azure-specific deprecated wrappers belong in the azure-ai package, not in the OpenAI package.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- **Keep OpenAI in core**: Simpler but keeps core heavy; doesn't help discoverability.
-- **Extract OpenAI with Azure wrappers in the OpenAI package**: Keeps Azure OpenAI wrappers alongside OpenAI code, but pollutes the OpenAI package with Azure concerns.
-- **Extract OpenAI, place Azure wrappers in azure-ai**: Clean separation; the OpenAI package has zero Azure dependencies; deprecated Azure wrappers live in a single file in azure-ai for easy future deletion.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option: "Extract OpenAI, place Azure wrappers in azure-ai", because it achieves the lightest core, cleanest OpenAI package, and the most maintainable deprecation path.
-
-Key changes:
-
-1. **New `agent-framework-openai` package** with dependencies on `agent-framework-core`, `openai`, and `packaging` only.
-2. **Class renames**: `OpenAIResponsesClient` → `OpenAIChatClient` (Responses API), `OpenAIChatClient` → `OpenAIChatCompletionClient` (Chat Completions API). Old names remain as deprecated aliases.
-3. **Deprecated classes**: `OpenAIAssistantsClient`, all `AzureOpenAI*Client` classes, `AzureAIClient`, `AzureAIAgentClient`, and `AzureAIProjectAgentProvider` are marked deprecated.
-4. **New `FoundryChatClient`** in azure-ai for Azure AI Foundry Responses API access, built on `RawFoundryChatClient(RawOpenAIChatClient)`.
-5. **All deprecated `AzureOpenAI*` classes** consolidated into a single file (`_deprecated_azure_openai.py`) in the azure-ai package for clean future deletion.
-6. **Core's `agent_framework.openai` and `agent_framework.azure` namespaces** become lazy-loading gateways, preserving backward-compatible import paths while removing hard dependencies.
-7. **Unified `model` parameter** replaces `model_id` (OpenAI), `deployment_name` (Azure OpenAI), and `model_deployment_name` (Azure AI) across all client constructors. The term `model` is intentionally generic: it naturally maps to an OpenAI model name *and* to an Azure OpenAI deployment name, making it straightforward to use `OpenAIChatClient` with either OpenAI or Azure OpenAI backends (via `AsyncAzureOpenAI`). Environment variables are similarly unified (e.g., `OPENAI_MODEL` instead of separate `OPENAI_RESPONSES_MODEL_ID` / `OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL_ID`).
-8. **`FoundryAgent`** replaces the pattern of `Agent(client=AzureAIClient(...))` for connecting to pre-configured agents in Azure AI Foundry (PromptAgents and HostedAgents). The underlying `RawFoundryAgentChatClient` is an implementation detail — most users interact only with `FoundryAgent`. `AzureAIAgentClient` is separately deprecated as it refers to the V1 Agents Service API. See below for design rationale.
-
-### Foundry Agent Design: `FoundryAgentClient` vs `FoundryAgent`
-
-The existing `AzureAIClient` combines two concerns: CRUD lifecycle management (creating/deleting agents on the service) and runtime communication (sending messages via the Responses API). The new design removes CRUD entirely — users connect to agents that already exist in Foundry.
-
-**Two approaches were considered:**
-
-**Option A — `FoundryAgentClient` only (public ChatClient):**
-Users compose `Agent(client=FoundryAgentClient(...), tools=[...])`. This follows the universal `Agent(client=X)` pattern used by every other provider. However, a "client" that wraps a named remote agent (with `agent_name` as a constructor param) is semantically odd — clients typically wrap a model endpoint, not a specific agent.
-
-**Option B — `FoundryAgent` (Agent subclass) + private `_FoundryAgentChatClient` and public `RawFoundryAgentChatClient`:**
-Users write `FoundryAgent(agent_name="my-agent", ...)` for the common case. Internally, `FoundryAgent` creates a `_FoundryAgentChatClient` and passes it to the standard `Agent` base class. For advanced customization, users pass `client_type=RawFoundryAgentChatClient` (or a custom subclass) to control the client middleware layers. The `Agent(client=RawFoundryAgentChatClient(...))` composition pattern still works for users who prefer it.
-
-**Chosen option: Option B**, because:
-- The common case (`FoundryAgent(...)`) is a single object with no boilerplate.
-- `client_type=` gives full control over client middleware without parameter duplication — the agent forwards connection params to the client internally.
-- `RawFoundryAgent(RawAgent)` and `FoundryAgent(Agent)` mirror the established `RawAgent`/`Agent` pattern.
-- Runtime validation (only `FunctionTool` allowed) lives in `RawFoundryAgentChatClient._prepare_options`, ensuring it applies regardless of how the client is used — through `FoundryAgent`, `Agent(client=...)`, or any custom composition.
-
-**Public classes:**
-- `RawFoundryAgentChatClient(RawOpenAIChatClient)` — Responses API client that injects agent reference and validates tools. Extension point for custom client middleware.
-- `RawFoundryAgent(RawAgent)` — Agent without agent-level middleware/telemetry.
-- `FoundryAgent(AgentTelemetryLayer, AgentMiddlewareLayer, RawFoundryAgent)` — Recommended production agent.
-
-**Internal (private):**
-- `_FoundryAgentChatClient` — Full client with function invocation, chat middleware, and telemetry layers. Created automatically by `FoundryAgent`; users customize via `client_type=RawFoundryAgentChatClient` or a custom subclass.
-
-**Deprecated:**
-- `AzureAIClient` — replaced by `FoundryAgent` (which uses `FoundryAgentClient` internally).
-- `AzureAIAgentClient` — refers to V1 Agents Service API, no direct replacement.
-- `AzureAIProjectAgentProvider` — replaced by `FoundryAgent`.

-# Chat History Persistence Consistency
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-When using `ChatClientAgent` with tools, the `FunctionInvokingChatClient` (FIC) loops multiple times — service call → tool execution → service call → … — before producing a final response. There are two points of discrepancy between how chat history is stored by the framework's `ChatHistoryProvider` and how the underlying AI service stores chat history (e.g., OpenAI Responses with `store=true`):
-
-1. **Persistence timing**: The AI service persists messages after *each* service call within the FIC loop. The `ChatHistoryProvider` currently persists messages only once, at the *end* of the full agent run (after all FIC loop iterations complete).
-
-2. **Trailing `FunctionResultContent` storage**: When tool calling is terminated mid-loop (e.g., via `FunctionInvokingChatClient` termination filters), the final response from the agent may contain `FunctionResultContent` that was never sent to a subsequent service call. The AI service never stores this trailing `FunctionResultContent`, but the `ChatHistoryProvider` currently stores all response content, including the trailing `FunctionResultContent`.
-
-These discrepancies mean that a `ChatHistoryProvider`-managed conversation and a service-managed conversation can diverge in content and structure, even when processing the same interactions.
-
-### Practical Impact: Resuming After Tool-Call Termination
-
-Today, users of `AIAgent` get different behaviors depending on whether chat history is stored service-side or in a `ChatHistoryProvider`. This creates concrete challenges — for example, when the function call loop is terminated and the user wants to resume the conversation in a subsequent run. With service-stored history, the trailing `FunctionResultContent` is never persisted, so the last stored message is the `FunctionCallContent` from the service. With `ChatHistoryProvider`-stored history, the trailing `FunctionResultContent` *is* persisted. The user cannot know whether the last `FunctionResultContent` is in the chat history or not without inspecting the storage mechanism, making it difficult to write resumption logic that works correctly regardless of the storage backend.
-
-### Relationship Between the Two Discrepancies
-
-The persistence timing and `FunctionResultContent` trimming behaviors are interrelated:
-
-- **Per-service-call persistence**: When messages are persisted after each individual service call, trailing `FunctionResultContent` trimming is unnecessary. If tool calling is terminated, the `FunctionResultContent` from the terminated call was never sent to a subsequent service call, so it is never persisted. The per-service-call approach naturally matches the service's behavior.
-
-- **Per-run persistence**: When messages are batched and persisted at the end of the full run, trailing `FunctionResultContent` trimming becomes necessary to match the service's behavior. Without trimming, the stored history contains `FunctionResultContent` that the service would never have stored.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- **A. Consistency**: The default behavior of `ChatHistoryProvider` should produce stored history that closely matches what the underlying AI service would store, minimizing surprise when switching between framework-managed and service-managed chat history.
-- **B. Atomicity**: A run that fails mid-way through a multi-step tool-calling loop should not leave chat history in a partially-updated state, unless the user explicitly opts into that behavior.
-- **C. Recoverability**: For long-running tool-calling loops, it should be possible to recover intermediate progress if the process is interrupted, rather than losing all work from the current run.
-- **D. Simplicity**: The default behavior should be easy to understand and predict for most users, without requiring knowledge of the FIC loop internals.
-- **E. Flexibility**: Regardless of the chosen default, users should be able to opt into the alternative behavior.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-- Option 1: Per-run persistence with opt-in FRC (FunctionResultContent) trimming
-- Option 2: Opt-in per-service-call persistence (via `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence`)
-
-## Pros and Cons of the Options
-
-### Option 1: Per-run persistence with opt-in FRC trimming
-
-Keep the current default behavior of persisting chat history only at the end of the full agent run. Add `FunctionResultContent` trimming as an opt-in behavior to improve consistency with service storage.
-
-- Good, because runs are atomic — chat history is only updated when the full run succeeds, satisfying driver B.
-- Good, because the mental model is simple: one run = one history update, satisfying driver D.
-- Good, because trimming trailing `FunctionResultContent` improves consistency with service storage, partially satisfying driver A.
-- Bad, because the default persistence timing still differs from the service's behavior (per-run vs. per-service-call), only partially satisfying driver A.
-- Bad, because if the process crashes mid-loop, all intermediate progress from the current run is lost, not satisfying driver C.
-- Bad, because this option alone does not provide a way for users to opt into per-service-call persistence, not satisfying driver E.
-
-### Option 2: Opt-in per-service-call persistence (via `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence`)
-
-Introduce an optional RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence setting to persist chat history after each individual service call within the FIC loop, matching the AI service's behavior. Trailing `FunctionResultContent` trimming is unnecessary with this approach (it is naturally handled).
-
-Settings:
-- `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` = `true`
-
-- Good, because the stored history matches the service's behavior when opting in for both timing and content, fully satisfying driver A.
-- Good, because intermediate progress is preserved if the process is interrupted, satisfying driver C.
-- Good, because no separate `FunctionResultContent` trimming logic is needed, reducing complexity.
-- Bad, because chat history may be left in an incomplete state if the run fails mid-loop (e.g., `FunctionCallContent` stored without corresponding `FunctionResultContent`), not satisfying driver B. A subsequent run cannot proceed without manually providing the missing `FunctionResultContent`.
-- Bad, because the mental model is more complex: a single run may produce multiple history updates, partially failing driver D.
-- Neutral, because users can opt out to per-run persistence if they prefer atomicity, satisfying driver E.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Chosen option: **Option 2: Opt-in per-service-call persistence (via `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence`)**. The existing per-run persistence behavior is retained as-is, requiring no changes from users. Per-service-call persistence is available as an opt-in feature via the `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` setting. This satisfies drivers B (atomicity) and D (simplicity) for the common case, while fully satisfying driver A (consistency) for users who opt into simulated service-stored behavior. Users who need per-service-call persistence for recoverability (driver C) can enable it explicitly.
-
-### Configuration Matrix
-
-The behavior depends on the combination of `UseProvidedChatClientAsIs` and `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence`:
-
-| `UseProvidedChatClientAsIs` | `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` | Behavior |
-|---|---|---|
-| `false` (default) | `false` (default) | **Per-run persistence.** Messages are persisted at the end of the full agent run via the `ChatHistoryProvider`. |
-| `false` | `true` | **Per-service-call persistence (simulated).** A `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient` middleware is automatically injected into the chat client pipeline between `FunctionInvokingChatClient` and the leaf `IChatClient`. Messages are persisted after each service call. A sentinel `ConversationId` causes FIC to treat the conversation as service-managed. |
-| `true` | `false` | **Per-run persistence.** No middleware is injected because the user has provided a custom chat client stack. Messages are persisted at the end of the run. |
-| `true` | `true` | **User responsibility.** The system checks whether the custom chat client stack includes a `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient`. If not, a warning is emitted — the user is expected to have added their own per-service-call persistence mechanism. End-of-run persistence is skipped. |
-
-### Consequences
-
-- Good, because per-run persistence is atomic by default — chat history is only updated when the full run succeeds, satisfying driver B.
-- Good, because the default mental model is simple: one run = one history update, satisfying driver D.
-- Good, because users who opt into `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` get stored history that matches the service's behavior for both timing and content, fully satisfying driver A.
-- Good, because per-service-call persistence preserves intermediate progress if the process is interrupted, satisfying driver C when opted in.
-- Good, because no separate `FunctionResultContent` trimming logic is needed when per-service-call persistence is active — it is naturally handled.
-- Good, because conflict detection (configurable via `ThrowOnChatHistoryProviderConflict`, `WarnOnChatHistoryProviderConflict`, `ClearOnChatHistoryProviderConflict`) prevents misconfiguration when a service returns a `ConversationId` alongside a configured `ChatHistoryProvider`.
-- Bad, because per-service-call persistence (when opted in) may leave chat history in an incomplete state if the run fails mid-loop (e.g., `FunctionCallContent` stored without corresponding `FunctionResultContent`), requiring manual recovery in rare cases.
-- Neutral, because users who want per-service-call consistency can opt in via `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence = true`, satisfying driver E.
-- Neutral, because increased write frequency from per-service-call persistence may impact performance for some storage backends; this can be mitigated with a caching decorator.
-
-### Implementation Notes
-
-#### Conversation ID Consistency
-
-When `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` is enabled, the `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient`
-decorator also updates `session.ConversationId` after each service call. This handles two scenarios:
-
-1. **Framework-managed chat history** — the decorator sets a sentinel `ConversationId` on the response
-   so that `FunctionInvokingChatClient` treats the conversation as service-managed (clearing accumulated
-   history between iterations and not injecting duplicate `FunctionCallContent` during approval processing).
-
-2. **Service-stored chat history** — when the service returns a real `ConversationId`, the decorator
-   updates `session.ConversationId` immediately after each service call, rather than deferring the update
-   to the end of the run. This ensures intermediate ConversationId changes are captured even if the
-   process is interrupted mid-loop.
-
-For some service-stored scenarios (e.g., the Conversations API with the Responses API), there is only
-one thread with one ID, so every service call returns the same ConversationId and this per-call update
-makes no practical difference. Enabling `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` ensures consistent
-per-service-call behavior across all service types regardless of how they manage ConversationIds.

-# Agent Evaluation Architecture with Azure AI Foundry Integration
-
-## Context and Problem Statement
-
-Azure AI Foundry provides a rich evaluation service for AI agents — built-in evaluators for agent behavior (task adherence, intent resolution), tool usage (tool call accuracy, tool selection), quality (coherence, fluency, relevance), and safety (violence, self-harm, prohibited actions). Results are viewable in the Foundry portal with dashboards and comparison views.
-
-However, using Foundry Evals with an agent-framework agent today requires significant manual effort. Developers must:
-
-1. Transform agent-framework's `Message`/`Content` types into the OpenAI-style agent message schema that Foundry evaluators expect
-2. Map tool definitions from agent-framework's `FunctionTool` format to evaluator-compatible schemas
-3. Manually wire up the correct Foundry data source type (`azure_ai_traces`, `jsonl`, `azure_ai_target_completions`, etc.) depending on their scenario
-4. Handle App Insights trace ID queries, response ID collection, and eval polling
-
-Additionally, evaluation is a concern that extends beyond any single provider. Developers may want to use local evaluators (LLM-as-judge, regex, keyword matching), third-party evaluation libraries, or multiple providers in combination. The architecture must support this without creating a Foundry-specific lock-in at the API level.
-
-### Functional Requirements for Agent Evaluation
-
-- **Single agents and workflows.** Evaluate both individual agent responses and multi-agent workflow results, with per-agent breakdown to pinpoint underperformance.
-- **One-shot and multi-turn conversations.** Capture full conversation trajectories — including tool calls and results — not just final query/response pairs.
-- **Conversation factoring.** Support splitting conversations into query/response in multiple ways (last turn, full trajectory, per-turn) because different factorings measure different things.
-- **Multiple providers, mix and match.** Run Foundry LLM-as-judge evaluators alongside fast local checks and custom evaluators on the same data, without restructuring code.
-- **Third-party extensibility.** Any evaluation library can participate by implementing the `Evaluator` protocol (Python) or `IAgentEvaluator` interface (.NET). No predetermined list of supported libraries — the protocol is intentionally simple (`evaluate(items) → results`) so that wrappers for libraries like DeepEval, RAGAS, or Promptfoo are straightforward to write.
-- **Bring your own evaluator.** Creating a custom evaluator should be as simple as writing a function.
-- **Evaluate without re-running.** Evaluate existing responses from logs or previous runs without invoking the agent again.
-
-## Decision Drivers
-
-- **Zero-friction evaluation**: Developers should go from "I have an agent" to "I have eval results" with minimal code.
-- **Provider-agnostic API**: Core evaluation capabilities must not be tied to any specific provider. Provider configuration should be separate from the evaluation call.
-- **Lowest concept count**: Introduce the fewest possible new types, abstractions, and APIs for developers to learn.
-- **Leverage existing knowledge**: The framework already knows which agents exist, what tools they have, and what conversations occurred. Evals should use this automatically rather than requiring the developer to re-specify it.
-- **Foundry-native results**: When using Foundry, results should be viewable in the Foundry portal with dashboards and comparison views.
-- **Progressive disclosure**: Simple scenarios should be near-zero code. Advanced scenarios should build on the same primitives.
-- **Cross-language parity**: Design must be implementable in both Python and .NET.
-
-## Considered Options
-
-1. **Provider-specific functions** — Build Foundry-specific helper functions (`evaluate_agent()`, etc.) directly in the Azure package. All eval functions take Foundry connection parameters.
-2. **Evaluator protocol with shared orchestration** — Define a provider-agnostic `Evaluator` protocol in the base agent library (`agent_framework` in Python, `Microsoft.Agents.AI` in .NET). Orchestration functions live alongside it. Providers implement the protocol.
-3. **Full eval framework** — Build comprehensive eval infrastructure including custom evaluator definitions, scoring profiles, and reporting inside agent-framework.
-
-## Decision Outcome
-
-Proposed option: "Evaluator protocol with shared orchestration", because it delivers the low-friction developer experience, supports multiple providers without API changes, and keeps the concept count low.
-
-### Usage Examples
-
-#### Evaluate an agent
-
-The agent is invoked once per query by default. For statistically meaningful evaluation, provide multiple diverse queries. For measuring **consistency** (does the same query produce reliable results?), use `num_repetitions` to run each query N times independently:
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-evals = FoundryEvals(
-    project_client=client,
-    model_deployment="gpt-4o",
-    evaluators=[FoundryEvals.RELEVANCE, FoundryEvals.COHERENCE],
-)
-
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=my_agent,
-    queries=[
-        "What's the weather in Seattle?",
-        "Plan a weekend trip to Portland",
-        "What restaurants are near Pike Place?",
-    ],
-    evaluators=evals,
-)
-for r in results:
-    r.assert_passed()
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-var evals = new FoundryEvals(chatConfiguration, FoundryEvals.Relevance, FoundryEvals.Coherence);
-
-AgentEvaluationResults results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    new[] {
-        "What's the weather in Seattle?",
-        "Plan a weekend trip to Portland",
-        "What restaurants are near Pike Place?",
-    },
-    evals);
-
-results.AssertAllPassed();
-```
-
-`evaluate_agent` returns one `EvalResults` per evaluator. Each result contains per-item scores with the evaluated response for auditing:
-
-```
-# results[0] (FoundryEvals)
-EvalResults(status="completed", passed=3, failed=0, total=3)
-  items[0]: EvalItemResult(
-    query="What's the weather in Seattle?",
-    response="It's currently 72°F and sunny in Seattle.",
-    scores={"relevance": 5, "coherence": 5})
-  items[1]: EvalItemResult(
-    query="Plan a weekend trip to Portland",
-    response="Here's a 2-day Portland itinerary...",
-    scores={"relevance": 4, "coherence": 5})
-  items[2]: EvalItemResult(
-    query="What restaurants are near Pike Place?",
-    response="Top restaurants near Pike Place Market: ...",
-    scores={"relevance": 5, "coherence": 4})
-```
-
-#### Measure consistency with repetitions
-
-Run each query multiple times to detect non-deterministic behavior:
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=my_agent,
-    queries=["What's the weather in Seattle?"],
-    evaluators=evals,
-    num_repetitions=3,  # each query runs 3 times independently
-)
-# results contain 3 items (1 query × 3 repetitions)
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-AgentEvaluationResults results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    new[] { "What's the weather in Seattle?" },
-    evals,
-    numRepetitions: 3);  // each query runs 3 times independently
-// results contain 3 items (1 query × 3 repetitions)
-```
-
-#### Evaluate a response you already have
-
-When you already have agent responses, pass them directly to skip re-running the agent. Each query is paired with its corresponding response:
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-queries = ["What's the weather?", "What's the capital of France?"]
-responses = [await agent.run([Message("user", [q])]) for q in queries]
-
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    responses=responses,
-    evaluators=evals,
-)
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-var queries = new[] { "What's the weather?" };
-var responses = new List<AgentResponse>();
-foreach (var q in queries)
-    responses.Add(await agent.RunAsync(new[] { new ChatMessage(ChatRole.User, q) }));
-
-AgentEvaluationResults results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    responses: responses,
-    evals);
-```
-
-Each `AgentResponse` already contains the conversation (query + response), so the evaluator extracts query/response from the conversation. When you pass `responses` without `queries`, the conversation is the source of truth.
-
-#### Evaluate with conversation split strategies
-
-By default, evaluators see only the last turn (final user message → final assistant response). For multi-turn conversations, you can control how the conversation is factored for evaluation:
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=agent,
-    queries=["Plan a 3-day trip to Paris"],
-    evaluators=evals,
-    conversation_split=ConversationSplit.FULL,      # evaluate entire trajectory
-)
-
-# Or per-turn: each user→assistant exchange scored independently
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=agent,
-    queries=["Plan a 3-day trip to Paris"],
-    evaluators=evals,
-    conversation_split=ConversationSplit.PER_TURN,
-)
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-// Full conversation as context
-AgentEvaluationResults results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    new[] { "Plan a 3-day trip to Paris" },
-    evals,
-    splitter: ConversationSplitters.Full);
-
-// Per-turn splitting
-var items = EvalItem.PerTurnItems(conversation);  // one EvalItem per user turn
-var results = await evals.EvaluateAsync(items);
-```
-
-With `PER_TURN`, a 3-turn conversation produces 3 scored items:
-
-```
-EvalResults(status="completed", passed=3, failed=0, total=3)
-  items[0]: query="Plan a 3-day trip to Paris"    scores={"relevance": 5}
-  items[1]: query="What about restaurants?"        scores={"relevance": 4}
-  items[2]: query="Make it budget-friendly"        scores={"relevance": 5}
-```
-
-#### Evaluate a multi-agent workflow
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-result = await workflow.run("Plan a trip to Paris")
-eval_results = await evaluate_workflow(
-    workflow=workflow,
-    workflow_result=result,
-    evaluators=evals,
-)
-
-for r in eval_results:
-    print(f"  overall: {r.passed}/{r.total}")
-    for name, sub in r.sub_results.items():
-        print(f"    {name}: {sub.passed}/{sub.total}")
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-WorkflowRunResult result = await workflow.RunAsync("Plan a trip to Paris");
-
-IReadOnlyList<AgentEvaluationResults> evalResults = await result.EvaluateAsync(evals);
-
-foreach (var r in evalResults)
-{
-    Console.WriteLine($"  overall: {r.Passed}/{r.Total}");
-    foreach (var (name, sub) in r.SubResults)
-        Console.WriteLine($"    {name}: {sub.Passed}/{sub.Total}");
-}
-```
-
-Workflows return one result per evaluator, with sub-results per agent in the workflow:
-
-```
-EvalResults(status="completed", passed=2, failed=0, total=2)
-  sub_results:
-    "planner":  EvalResults(passed=1, total=1)
-    "researcher": EvalResults(passed=1, total=1)
-```
-
-#### Mix multiple providers
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-@evaluator
-def is_helpful(response: str) -> bool:
-    return len(response.split()) > 10
-
-foundry = FoundryEvals(
-    project_client=client,
-    model_deployment="gpt-4o",
-    evaluators=[FoundryEvals.RELEVANCE, FoundryEvals.COHERENCE],
-)
-
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=agent,
-    queries=queries,
-    evaluators=[is_helpful, keyword_check("weather"), foundry],
-)
-```
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-IReadOnlyList<AgentEvaluationResults> results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    queries,
-    evaluators: new IAgentEvaluator[]
-    {
-        new LocalEvaluator(
-            EvalChecks.KeywordCheck("weather"),
-            FunctionEvaluator.Create("is_helpful", (string r) => r.Split(' ').Length > 10)),
-        new FoundryEvals(chatConfiguration, FoundryEvals.Relevance, FoundryEvals.Coherence),
-    });
-```
-
-Multiple evaluators return one result each — `results[0]` is the local evaluator, `results[1]` is Foundry.
-
-#### Custom function evaluators
-
-**Python:**
-
-```python
-@evaluator
-def mentions_city(response: str, expected_output: str) -> bool:
-    return expected_output.lower() in response.lower()
-
-@evaluator
-def used_tools(conversation: list, tools: list) -> float:
-    # ... scoring logic
-    return score
-
-local = LocalEvaluator(mentions_city, used_tools)
-```
-
-`@evaluator` uses **parameter name injection** — the function's parameter names determine what data it receives from the `EvalItem`. Supported names: `query`, `response`, `expected`, `expected_tool_calls`, `conversation`, `tools`, `context`. Any combination is valid.
-
-**C#:**
-
-```csharp
-var local = new LocalEvaluator(
-    FunctionEvaluator.Create("mentions_city",
-        (EvalItem item) => item.ExpectedOutput != null
-            && item.Response.Contains(item.ExpectedOutput, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)),
-    FunctionEvaluator.Create("is_concise",
-        (string response) => response.Split(' ').Length < 500));
-```
-
-## What To Build
-
-### Core: Evaluator Protocol
-
-A runtime-checkable protocol that any evaluation provider implements:
-
-```python
-@runtime_checkable
-class Evaluator(Protocol):
-    name: str
-
-    async def evaluate(
-        self, items: Sequence[EvalItem], *, eval_name: str = "Agent Framework Eval"
-    ) -> EvalResults: ...
-```
-
-The protocol is minimal — just `name` and `evaluate()`.
-
-### Core: EvalItem
-
-Provider-agnostic data format for items to evaluate:
-
-```python
-@dataclass
-class ExpectedToolCall:
-    name: str                                    # Tool/function name
-    arguments: dict[str, Any] | None = None      # None = don't check args
-
-@dataclass
-class EvalItem:
-    conversation: list[Message]               # Single source of truth
-    tools: list[FunctionTool] | None = None   # Agent's available tools
-    context: str | None = None
-    expected_output: str | None = None          # Ground-truth for comparison
-    expected_tool_calls: list[ExpectedToolCall] | None = None
-    split_strategy: ConversationSplitter | None = None
-
-    query: str       # property — derived from conversation split
-    response: str    # property — derived from conversation split
-```
-
-`conversation` is the single source of truth. `query` and `response` are derived properties — splitting the conversation at the last user message (default) and extracting text from each side. Changing the `split_strategy` consistently changes all derived values.
-
-`tools` provides typed `FunctionTool` objects — including MCP tools, which are automatically extracted after agent runs.
-
-### Internal: AgentEvalConverter
-
-Internal class that converts agent-framework types to `EvalItem`. Used by `evaluate_agent()` and `evaluate_workflow()` — not part of the public API:
-
-| Agent Framework | Eval Format |
-|---|---|
-| `Content.function_call` | `tool_call` in OpenAI chat format |
-| `Content.function_result` | `tool_result` in OpenAI chat format |
-| `FunctionTool` | `{name, description, parameters}` schema |
-| `Message` history | `conversation` list + `query`/`response` extraction |
-
-### Core: EvalResults
-
-Rich result type with convenience properties for CI integration:
-
-```python
-results.all_passed          # bool: no failures or errors (recursive for workflow)
-results.passed              # int: passing count
-results.failed              # int: failure count
-results.total               # int: total = passed + failed + errored
-results.items               # list[EvalItemResult]: per-item detail with query, response, and scores
-results.error               # str | None: error details on failure
-results.sub_results         # dict: per-agent breakdown (workflow evals)
-results.report_url          # str | None: portal link (Foundry)
-results.assert_passed()     # raises AssertionError with details
-```
-
-### Core: Orchestration Functions
-
-Provider-agnostic functions that extract data and delegate to evaluators:
-
-| Function | What it does |
-|---|---|
-| `evaluate_agent()` | Runs agent against test queries (or evaluates pre-existing `responses=`), converts to `EvalItem`s, passes to evaluator. Accepts optional `expected_output=` for ground-truth comparison, `expected_tool_calls=` for tool-correctness evaluation, and `num_repetitions=` for consistency measurement |
-| `evaluate_workflow()` | Extracts per-agent data from `WorkflowRunResult`, evaluates each agent and overall output. Per-agent breakdown in `sub_results`. Also accepts `num_repetitions=` |
-
-### Core: Conversation Split Strategies
-
-Multi-turn conversations must be split into query (input) and response (output) halves for evaluation. How you split determines *what you're evaluating*:
-
-**Last-turn split** — split at the last user message. Everything up to and including it is the query context; the agent's subsequent actions are the response:
-
-```
-conversation: user1 → assistant1 → user2 → assistant2(tool) → tool_result → assistant3
-query_messages:    [user1, assistant1, user2]
-response_messages: [assistant2(tool), tool_result, assistant3]
-```
-
-This evaluates: "Given all the context so far, did the agent answer the latest question well?" Best for response quality at a specific point in the conversation.
-
-**Full-conversation split** — the first user message is the query; everything after is the response:
-
-```
-query_messages:    [user1]
-response_messages: [assistant1, user2, assistant2(tool), tool_result, assistant3]
-```
-
-This evaluates: "Given the original request, did the entire conversation trajectory serve the user?" Best for task completion and overall conversation quality.
-
-**Per-turn split** — produces N eval items from an N-turn conversation. Each turn is evaluated with its cumulative context:
-
-```
-item 1: query = [user1],                        response = [assistant1]
-item 2: query = [user1, assistant1, user2],      response = [assistant2(tool), tool_result, assistant3]
-```
-
-This evaluates each response independently. Best for fine-grained analysis and pinpointing where a conversation goes wrong.
-
-These factorings produce different scores for the same conversation. The framework ships all three as built-in strategies, defaulting to last-turn. Developers can also provide a custom splitter — a function (Python) or `IConversationSplitter` implementation (.NET) — and override the strategy at the call site or per evaluator.
-
-### Azure AI: FoundryEvals
-
-`Evaluator` implementation backed by Azure AI Foundry:
-
-```python
-class FoundryEvals:
-    def __init__(self, *, project_client=None, openai_client=None,
-                 model_deployment: str, evaluators=None, ...)
-    async def evaluate(self, items, *, eval_name) -> EvalResults
-```
-
-**Smart auto-detection in `evaluate()`:**
-- Default evaluators: relevance, coherence, task_adherence
-- Auto-adds `tool_call_accuracy` when items have tools/`tool_definitions`
-- Filters out tool evaluators for items without tools
-
-### Azure AI: FoundryEvals Constants
-
-```python
-from agent_framework.foundry import FoundryEvals
-
-evaluators = [FoundryEvals.RELEVANCE, FoundryEvals.TOOL_CALL_ACCURACY]
-```
-
-Categories: Agent behavior, Tool usage, Quality, Safety.
-
-### Azure AI: Foundry-Specific Functions
-
-| Function | What it does |
-|---|---|
-| `evaluate_traces()` | Evaluate from stored response IDs or OTel traces |
-| `evaluate_foundry_target()` | Evaluate a Foundry-registered agent or deployment |
-
-### Core: LocalEvaluator and Function Evaluators
-
-`LocalEvaluator` implements the `Evaluator` protocol for fast, API-free evaluation. It runs check functions locally — useful for inner-loop development, CI smoke tests, and combining with cloud-based evaluators.
-
-Built-in checks:
-- `keyword_check(*keywords)` — response must contain specified keywords
-- `tool_called_check(*tool_names)` — agent must have called specified tools
-- `tool_calls_present` — all `expected_tool_calls` names appear in conversation (unordered, extras OK)
-- `tool_call_args_match` — expected tool calls match on name + arguments (subset match on args)
-
-Custom function evaluators use `@evaluator` to wrap plain Python functions. The function's **parameter names** determine what data it receives from the `EvalItem`:
-
-```python
-from agent_framework import evaluator, LocalEvaluator
-
-# Tier 1: Simple check — just query + response
-@evaluator
-def is_concise(response: str) -> bool:
-    return len(response.split()) < 500
-
-# Tier 2: Ground truth — compare against expected output
-@evaluator
-def mentions_city(response: str, expected_output: str) -> bool:
-    return expected_output.lower() in response.lower()
-
-# Tier 3: Full context — inspect conversation and tools
-@evaluator
-def used_tools(conversation: list, tools: list) -> float:
-    # ... scoring logic
-    return score
-
-local = LocalEvaluator(is_concise, mentions_city, used_tools)
-```
-
-Supported parameters: `query`, `response`, `expected`, `expected_tool_calls`, `conversation`, `tools`, `context`.
-Return types: `bool`, `float` (≥0.5 = pass), `dict` with `score` or `passed` key, or `CheckResult`.
-
-Async functions are handled automatically — `@evaluator` detects `async def` and produces the right wrapper.
-
-### Example: GAIA Benchmark
-
-[GAIA](https://huggingface.co/gaia-benchmark) tests real-world multi-step tasks with known expected answers. Each task has a question and a ground-truth answer, with optional file attachments. The framework accommodates GAIA's knobs (difficulty levels, file inputs, multi-step tool use) through the existing `EvalItem` fields:
-
-```python
-from datasets import load_dataset
-from agent_framework import evaluate_agent, evaluator, LocalEvaluator
-
-gaia = load_dataset("gaia-benchmark/GAIA", "2023_level1", split="test")
-
-@evaluator
-def exact_match(response: str, expected_output: str) -> bool:
-    return expected_output.strip().lower() in response.strip().lower()
-
-# Simple path — evaluate_agent handles running + expected_output stamping
-results = await evaluate_agent(
-    agent=agent,
-    queries=[task["Question"] for task in gaia],
-    expected_output=[task["Final answer"] for task in gaia],
-    evaluators=LocalEvaluator(exact_match),
-)
-```
-
-### Package Location
-
-- Core types and orchestration: `agent_framework._eval`, `agent_framework._local_eval` (Python), `Microsoft.Agents.AI` (.NET)
-- Foundry provider: `agent_framework_azure_ai._foundry_evals` (Python), `Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI` (.NET)
-- Azure-AI re-exports core types for convenience (Python)
-
-## Known Limitations
-
-1. **Tool evaluators require query + agent**: Tool evaluators need tool definition schemas. When using these evaluators with `evaluate_agent(responses=...)`, provide `queries=` and pass an agent with tool definitions.
-2. **`model_deployment` always required**: Could potentially be inferred from the Foundry project configuration.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-1. **Red teaming non-registered agents**: Requires Foundry API support for callback-based flows.
-2. **Datasets with expected outputs**: A dataset abstraction for pre-populating `expected_output` values across eval runs is a natural next step but not yet designed.
-3. **Multi-modal evaluation**: The `conversation` field on `EvalItem` already stores full `Message`/`Content` (Python) and `ChatMessage` (.NET) objects, which can represent multi-modal content (images, audio, structured data). Evaluators that accept the full `EvalItem` or `conversation` parameter can access this content today. However, the convenience shortcuts — `query`/`response` string projections and the `FunctionEvaluator` string overloads — are text-only. Multi-modal-aware evaluators should use the full-item path (`Func<EvalItem, CheckResult>` in .NET, `conversation: list` parameter in Python).
-
-## .NET Implementation Design
-
-### Key Difference: MEAI Ecosystem
-
-Unlike Python, the .NET ecosystem already has `Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation` (v10.3.0) providing:
-
-- `IEvaluator` — per-item evaluation of `(messages, chatResponse) → EvaluationResult`
-- `CompositeEvaluator` — combines multiple evaluators
-- Quality evaluators — `RelevanceEvaluator`, `CoherenceEvaluator`, `GroundednessEvaluator`
-- Safety evaluators — `ContentHarmEvaluator`, `ProtectedMaterialEvaluator`
-- Metric types — `NumericMetric`, `BooleanMetric`, `StringMetric`
-
-The .NET integration uses MEAI's `IEvaluator` directly — no new evaluator interface. Our contribution is the **orchestration layer**: extension methods that run agents, extract data, call `IEvaluator` per item, and aggregate results.
-

-```
-
-All evaluators implement MEAI's `IEvaluator`. The orchestration layer doesn't need to know which kind — it calls `EvaluateAsync(messages, chatResponse)` per item on all of them. `FoundryEvals` handles batching internally (buffers items, submits once, returns per-item results).
-
-### .NET Core Types
-
-**No new evaluator interface.** Use MEAI's `IEvaluator` directly.
-
-**`AgentEvaluationResults`** — The only new type. Aggregates per-item MEAI `EvaluationResult`s across a batch of queries:
-
-```csharp
-public class AgentEvaluationResults
-{
-    public string Provider { get; init; }
-    public string? ReportUrl { get; init; }
-
-    // Per-item — standard MEAI EvaluationResult, unchanged
-    public IReadOnlyList<EvaluationResult> Items { get; init; }
-
-    // Aggregate pass/fail derived from metric interpretations
-    public int Passed { get; }
-    public int Failed { get; }
-    public int Total { get; }
-    public bool AllPassed { get; }
-
-    // Workflow: per-agent breakdown
-    public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, AgentEvaluationResults>? SubResults { get; init; }
-
-    public void AssertAllPassed(string? message = null);
-}
-```
-
-### .NET Evaluator Implementations
-
-All implement MEAI's `IEvaluator`:
-
-**`LocalEvaluator`** — Runs lambda checks locally, returns `BooleanMetric` per check:
-
-```csharp
-var local = new LocalEvaluator(
-    FunctionEvaluator.Create("is_concise",
-        (string response) => response.Split().Length < 500),
-    EvalChecks.KeywordCheck("weather"),
-    EvalChecks.ToolCalledCheck("get_weather"));
-```
-
-**MEAI evaluators** — Used directly, no adapter needed:
-
-```csharp
-var quality = new CompositeEvaluator(
-    new RelevanceEvaluator(),
-    new CoherenceEvaluator());
-```
-
-**`FoundryEvals`** — Implements `IEvaluator` but batches internally. On first call, buffers the item. On the last item (or when explicitly flushed), submits the batch to Foundry and distributes per-item results:
-
-```csharp
-var foundry = new FoundryEvals(projectClient, "gpt-4o");
-```
-
-### .NET Orchestration: Extension Methods
-
-```csharp
-public static class AgentEvaluationExtensions
-{
-    // Evaluate an agent against test queries
-    public static Task<AgentEvaluationResults> EvaluateAsync(
-        this AIAgent agent,
-        IEnumerable<string> queries,
-        IEvaluator evaluator,
-        ChatConfiguration? chatConfiguration = null,
-        IEnumerable<string>? expectedOutput = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    // Evaluate pre-existing responses (without re-running the agent)
-    public static Task<AgentEvaluationResults> EvaluateAsync(
-        this AIAgent agent,
-        AgentResponse responses,
-        IEvaluator evaluator,
-        IEnumerable<string>? queries = null,
-        ChatConfiguration? chatConfiguration = null,
-        IEnumerable<string>? expectedOutput = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    // Evaluate with multiple evaluators (one result per evaluator)
-    public static Task<IReadOnlyList<AgentEvaluationResults>> EvaluateAsync(
-        this AIAgent agent,
-        IEnumerable<string> queries,
-        IEnumerable<IEvaluator> evaluators,
-        ChatConfiguration? chatConfiguration = null,
-        IEnumerable<string>? expectedOutput = null,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-
-    // Evaluate a workflow run with per-agent breakdown
-    public static Task<AgentEvaluationResults> EvaluateAsync(
-        this Run run,
-        IEvaluator evaluator,
-        ChatConfiguration? chatConfiguration = null,
-        bool includeOverall = true,
-        bool includePerAgent = true,
-        CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
-}
-```
-
-**Usage:**
-
-```csharp
-// MEAI evaluators — just works
-var results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    queries: ["What's the weather?"],
-    evaluator: new RelevanceEvaluator(),
-    chatConfiguration: new ChatConfiguration(evalClient));
-
-// Local checks
-var results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    queries: ["What's the weather?"],
-    evaluator: new LocalEvaluator(
-        EvalChecks.KeywordCheck("weather")));
-
-// Foundry cloud
-var results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    queries: ["What's the weather?"],
-    evaluator: new FoundryEvals(projectClient, "gpt-4o"));
-
-// Evaluate existing response (without re-running the agent)
-var response = await agent.RunAsync("What's the weather?");
-var results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    responses: response,
-    queries: ["What's the weather?"],
-    evaluator: new FoundryEvals(projectClient, "gpt-4o"));
-
-// Mixed — one result per evaluator
-var results = await agent.EvaluateAsync(
-    queries: ["What's the weather?"],
-    evaluators: [
-        new LocalEvaluator(EvalChecks.KeywordCheck("weather")),
-        new RelevanceEvaluator(),
-        new FoundryEvals(projectClient, "gpt-4o")
-    ],
-    chatConfiguration: new ChatConfiguration(evalClient));
-
-// Workflow with per-agent breakdown
-Run run = await workflowRunner.RunAsync(workflow, "Plan a trip");
-var results = await run.EvaluateAsync(
-    evaluator: new FoundryEvals(projectClient, "gpt-4o"));
-```
-
-### .NET Function Evaluators
-
-Typed factory overloads (C# equivalent of Python's `@evaluator`):
-
-```csharp
-public static class FunctionEvaluator
-{
-    public static EvalCheck Create(string name, Func<string, bool> check);           // response only
-    public static EvalCheck Create(string name, Func<string, string?, bool> check);  // expectedOutput
-    public static EvalCheck Create(string name, Func<EvalItem, bool> check);         // full item
-    public static EvalCheck Create(string name, Func<EvalItem, CheckResult> check);  // full control
-    public static EvalCheck Create(string name, Func<string, Task<bool>> check);     // async
-}
-```
-
-`EvalItem` is a lightweight record used only by `FunctionEvaluator` and `LocalEvaluator` to pass context to check functions. It is not part of the `IEvaluator` interface:
-
-```csharp
-public record ExpectedToolCall(string Name, IReadOnlyDictionary<string, object>? Arguments = null);
-
-public sealed class EvalItem
-{
-    public EvalItem(string query, string response, IReadOnlyList<ChatMessage> conversation);
-
-    public string Query { get; }
-    public string Response { get; }
-    public IReadOnlyList<ChatMessage> Conversation { get; }
-    public IReadOnlyList<AITool>? Tools { get; set; }
-    public string? ExpectedOutput { get; set; }
-    public IReadOnlyList<ExpectedToolCall>? ExpectedToolCalls { get; set; }
-    public string? Context { get; set; }
-    public IConversationSplitter? Splitter { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-### Workflow Data Extraction (.NET)
-
-`run.EvaluateAsync()` walks `Run.OutgoingEvents` via LINQ:
-
-1. Pair `ExecutorInvokedEvent` / `ExecutorCompletedEvent` by `ExecutorId`
-2. Extract `AgentResponseEvent` for per-agent `ChatResponse`
-3. Call `evaluator.EvaluateAsync()` per invocation
-4. Group by `ExecutorId` for per-agent `SubResults`
-5. Use final workflow output for overall eval

-# 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.

 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

-<#
-.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

----
-
-## Usage
-
-When the user requests a unit conversion:
-1. First, review `references/conversion-table.md` to find the correct factor
-2. Run the `scripts/convert.py` script with `--value <number> --factor <factor>` (e.g. `--value 26.2 --factor 1.60934`)
-3. Present the converted value clearly with both units

-# AgentSkills Samples
-
-Samples demonstrating Agent Skills capabilities. Each sample shows a different way to define and use skills.
-
-| Sample | Description |
-|--------|-------------|
-| [Agent_Step01_FileBasedSkills](Agent_Step01_FileBasedSkills/) | Define skills as `SKILL.md` files on disk with reference documents. Uses a unit-converter skill. |
-| [Agent_Step02_CodeDefinedSkills](Agent_Step02_CodeDefinedSkills/) | Define skills entirely in C# code using `AgentInlineSkill`, with static/dynamic resources and scripts. |
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### File-Based vs Code-Defined Skills
-
-| Aspect | File-Based | Code-Defined |
-|--------|-----------|--------------|
-| Definition | `SKILL.md` files on disk | `AgentInlineSkill` instances in C# |
-| Resources | All files in skill directory (filtered by extension) | `AddResource` (static value or delegate-backed) |
-| Scripts | Supported via script executor delegate | `AddScript` delegates |
-| Discovery | Automatic from directory path | Explicit via constructor |
-| Dynamic content | No (static files only) | Yes (factory delegates) |
-| Reusability | Copy skill directory | Inline or shared instances |
-
-For single-source scenarios, use the `AgentSkillsProvider` constructors directly. To combine multiple skill types, use the `AgentSkillsProviderBuilder`.

-# 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`.

-# In-Function-Loop Checkpointing
-
-This sample demonstrates how `ChatClientAgent` can persist chat history after each individual call to the AI service using the `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` option. This per-service-call persistence ensures intermediate progress is saved during the function invocation loop.
-
-## What This Sample Shows
-
-When an agent uses tools, the `FunctionInvokingChatClient` loops multiple times (service call → tool execution → service call → …). By enabling `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence = true`, chat history is persisted after each service call via the `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient` decorator:
-
-- A `PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient` decorator is inserted into the chat client pipeline
-- Before each service call, the decorator loads history from the `ChatHistoryProvider` and prepends it to the request
-- After each service call, the decorator notifies the `ChatHistoryProvider` (and any `AIContextProvider` instances) with the new messages
-- Only **new** messages are sent to providers on each notification — messages that were already persisted in an earlier call within the same run are deduplicated automatically
-
-By default (without `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence`), chat history is persisted at the end of the full agent run instead. To use per-service-call persistence, set `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence = true` on `ChatClientAgentOptions`.
-
-With `RequirePerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistence` = true, the behavior matches that of chat history stored in the underlying AI service exactly.
-
-Per-service-call persistence is useful for:
-- **Crash recovery** — if the process is interrupted mid-loop, the intermediate tool calls and results are already persisted
-- **Observability** — you can inspect the chat history while the agent is still running (e.g., during streaming)
-- **Long-running tool loops** — agents with many sequential tool calls benefit from incremental persistence
-
-## How It Works
-
-The sample asks the agent about the weather and time in three cities. The model calls the `GetWeather` and `GetTime` tools for each city, resulting in multiple service calls within a single `RunStreamingAsync` invocation. After the run completes, the sample prints the full chat history to show all the intermediate messages that were persisted along the way.
-
-### Pipeline Architecture
-
-```
-ChatClientAgent
-  └─ FunctionInvokingChatClient    (handles tool call loop)
-       └─ PerServiceCallChatHistoryPersistingChatClient  (persists after each service call)
-            └─ Leaf IChatClient            (Azure OpenAI)
-```
-
-## 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_Step19_InFunctionLoopCheckpointing
-dotnet run
-```
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-The sample runs two conversation turns:
-
-1. **First turn** — asks about weather and time in three cities. The model calls `GetWeather` and `GetTime` tools (potentially in parallel or sequentially), then provides a summary. The chat history dump after the run shows all the intermediate tool call and result messages.
-
-2. **Second turn** — asks a follow-up question ("Which city is the warmest?") that uses the persisted conversation context. The chat history dump shows the full accumulated conversation.
-
-The chat history printout uses `session.TryGetInMemoryChatHistory()` to inspect the in-memory storage.

-# Creating and Running a Basic Agent with the Responses API
-
-This sample demonstrates how to create and run a basic AI agent using the `ChatClientAgent`, which uses the Microsoft Foundry Responses API directly without creating server-side agent definitions.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating a `ChatClientAgent` with instructions and a model
-- Running a simple single-turn conversation
-- No server-side agent creation or cleanup required
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Microsoft Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-
-**Note**: This demo uses Azure CLI credentials for authentication. Make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Microsoft Foundry resource. For more information, see the [Azure CLI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively).
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-```
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the AgentsWithFoundry sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/AgentsWithFoundry
-dotnet run --project .\Agent_Step01_Basics
-```
-
-## Alternative: Composable approach
-
-You can also create the same agent by composing the underlying `IChatClient` directly. This gives you full control over the chat client pipeline:
-
-```csharp
-using Azure.AI.Projects;
-using Azure.Identity;
-using Microsoft.Agents.AI;
-using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
-
-AIProjectClient aiProjectClient = new(new Uri(endpoint), new DefaultAzureCredential());
-
-AIAgent agent = new ChatClientAgent(
-    chatClient: aiProjectClient.GetProjectOpenAIClient().GetProjectResponsesClient().AsIChatClient(deploymentName),
-    instructions: "You are good at telling jokes.",
-    name: "JokerAgent");
-```
-
-This approach is useful when you need to customize the chat client pipeline or swap providers (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) while keeping the same agent code.

-# Multi-turn Conversation with Server-Side Conversations
-
-This sample demonstrates how to use server-side conversations with a `FoundryAgent`. Server-side conversations persist on the Foundry service and are visible in the Foundry Project UI, making them ideal when you need conversation history to be stored and accessible server-side.
-
-## What this sample demonstrates
-
-- Creating a `FoundryAgent` with instructions
-- Using `CreateConversationSessionAsync` to create a server-side `ProjectConversation`
-- Multi-turn conversations with both text and streaming output
-- Server-side conversation persistence visible in the Foundry Project UI
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:
-
-- .NET 10 SDK or later
-- Microsoft Foundry service endpoint and deployment configured
-- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)
-
-**Note**: This demo uses Azure CLI credentials for authentication. Make sure you're logged in with `az login` and have access to the Microsoft Foundry resource. For more information, see the [Azure CLI documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/cli/azure/authenticate-azure-cli-interactively).
-
-Set the following environment variables:
-
-```powershell
-$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
-$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-```
-
-## Run the sample
-
-Navigate to the AgentsWithFoundry sample directory and run:
-
-```powershell
-cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/AgentsWithFoundry
-dotnet run --project .\Agent_Step02.2_MultiturnWithServerConversations
