* .NET: Bump Azure.AI.Projects to 2.1.0-beta.2 and add agent-endpoint AsAIAgent path
Bumps Azure.AI.Projects to 2.1.0-beta.2 with the matching transitive pins (Azure.Core 1.55.0, System.ClientModel 1.11.0).
Foundry agent endpoint plumbing:
* FoundryAgent now routes the agent-endpoint constructor through the new GetProjectResponsesClientForAgentEndpoint helper.
* Adds an internal FoundryAgent ctor that takes an existing AIProjectClient plus a parsed agent endpoint so the public extension does not need to construct a second project client.
* Adds public AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(Uri agentEndpoint, ...) extension. This is the path consumer samples are expected to use for hosted agents because version selection happens server-side.
* Trims the dangling "If you want to construct a FoundryAgent against a project endpoint..." sentence from ParseAgentEndpoint.
Unit tests:
* Four new tests in AzureAIProjectChatClientExtensionsTests cover the AIProjectClient.AsAIAgent(Uri agentEndpoint, ...) overload. 263/263 pass.
Consumer samples (Using-Samples):
* SimpleAgent and SessionFilesClient now read AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT and AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME (both required, throw on missing), derive the agent endpoint with new Uri($"{projectEndpoint}/agents/{agentName}/endpoint/protocols/openai"), then call aiProjectClient.AsAIAgent(agentEndpoint, ...).
* SessionFilesClient README updated.
Contributor samples (responses/*):
* New HostedContributorRouteExtensions.MapDevTemporaryLocalAgentEndpoint() wildcard route extension so localhost contributor servers accept the per-agent OpenAI endpoint shape the production Hosted runtime exposes.
* All 11 contributor Program.cs files call MapDevTemporaryLocalAgentEndpoint() with a contributor-only warning comment.
* Hosted-Files and Hosted-AzureSearchRag were importing Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup but never calling AddDevTemporaryLocalContributorSetup(). Both now call it so HostedSessionIsolationKeyProvider resolves correctly in dev.
* Hosted-AzureSearchRag, Hosted-Files, Hosted-MemoryAgent csprojs drop stale VersionOverride="2.1.0-beta.1" pins.
* Hosted-AzureSearchRag and Hosted-Files csprojs add ProjectReference to Hosted_Shared_Contributor_Setup.
* Hosted-Observability/.dockerignore removed the out/ exclusion that was blocking COPY out/ . in Dockerfile.contributor.
Verified:
* Full solution-scoped build of changed projects: green.
* Scoped CI-parity dotnet format via WSL2 + Docker (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0) over every changed csproj: clean.
* Foundry unit tests: 263/263.
* Contributor docker smoke for 8 hosted samples (publish + docker build + docker run + curl POST to the wildcard route): HTTP 200 / 500 with route matched.
* End-to-end smoke against the real Azure Foundry project with a fresh bearer token: Hosted-Files contributor container served HTTP 200, the agent invoked ListBundledFiles, and returned the expected file name.
* Address PR review: forward pipeline settings; add UTs
- CreateProjectClientOptions also carries RetryPolicy, NetworkTimeout, ClientLoggingOptions, MessageLoggingPolicy (was Transport+UserAgentApplicationId only).
- Make CreateProjectClientOptions internal so tests can verify the copy directly.
- Add AsAIAgent(Uri) UTs covering tools forwarding to inner ChatOptions and null tools handling.
- Add CreateProjectClientOptions UTs covering null caller and full pipeline-settings copy.
Hosted-Observability
A hosted Agent Framework agent that demonstrates how the Foundry hosting pipeline emits OpenTelemetry traces, metrics and logs with no extra wiring.
The agent has two small tools, GetCurrentLocation and GetWeather, so an end-to-end run produces a span tree covering agent invocation, the underlying chat call, and tool execution.
How it works
Instrumentation is on by default
Unlike the Python SDK, the .NET hosting library is instrumented by default. AddFoundryResponses(agent) automatically wraps the agent with OpenTelemetryAgent (see Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting.ServiceCollectionExtensions.ApplyOpenTelemetry) and the OTLP exporter pipeline is registered by Azure.AI.AgentServer.Core's AddAgentHostTelemetry(). There is no ENABLE_INSTRUMENTATION flag to set.
Sensitive content
Prompt, completion and tool argument content are omitted from spans by default. Set the OpenTelemetry standard environment variable to capture them:
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT=true
This is the .NET equivalent of the Python sample's ENABLE_SENSITIVE_DATA. It is read by OpenTelemetryAgent.EnableSensitiveData.
Where the telemetry goes
Foundry injects APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING when the agent runs in the hosted environment, so traces, metrics and logs flow to Application Insights with no code change. To send telemetry from a local run, set the connection string yourself in .env.
Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- An Azure AI Foundry project with a deployed model (e.g.,
gpt-4o) - Azure CLI logged in (
az login)
Configuration
cp .env.example .env
Edit .env and set your Azure AI Foundry project endpoint:
AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<your-account>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<your-project>
ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8088
ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development
AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME=gpt-4o
OTEL_INSTRUMENTATION_GENAI_CAPTURE_MESSAGE_CONTENT=true
Note:
.envis gitignored. The.env.exampletemplate is checked in as a reference.
Running directly (contributors)
cd dotnet/samples/04-hosting/FoundryHostedAgents/responses/Hosted-Observability
AGENT_NAME=hosted-observability dotnet run
The agent starts on http://localhost:8088.
Test it
azd ai agent invoke --local "What is the current weather where I am?"
Or with curl:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8088/responses \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"input": "What is the current weather where I am?", "model": "hosted-observability"}'
Expected span tree
A single request produces approximately the following spans:
| Span | Source |
|---|---|
invoke_agent |
Outer span emitted by the Azure AI AgentServer hosting SDK |
agent_invoke <name> |
Emitted by OpenTelemetryAgent for each agent invocation |
chat <model> |
Emitted by the underlying IChatClient for each model call |
execute_tool <tool> |
Emitted for each invocation of GetCurrentLocation / GetWeather |
See the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions for the attributes captured on each span.
Running with Docker
This project uses ProjectReference to the local Agent Framework source, so use Dockerfile.contributor with a pre-published output:
dotnet publish -c Debug -f net10.0 -r linux-musl-x64 --self-contained false -o out
docker build -f Dockerfile.contributor -t hosted-observability .
export AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN=$(az account get-access-token --resource https://ai.azure.com --query accessToken -o tsv)
docker run --rm -p 8088:8088 \
-e AGENT_NAME=hosted-observability \
-e AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN=$AZURE_BEARER_TOKEN \
--env-file .env \
hosted-observability
Deploying to Foundry and viewing traces
Once deployed, telemetry flows to the Application Insights instance attached to your Foundry project. In the Foundry UI, the Traces tab next to Playground lists conversations and lets you drill into the span tree for any request.
NuGet package users
If consuming the Agent Framework as a NuGet package, use the standard Dockerfile instead of Dockerfile.contributor. See the commented section in HostedObservability.csproj for the PackageReference alternative.
