-          ### 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)

-# 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.

-# 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_azure_ai 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.

-
-### 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

-<#
-.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

-# 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.
