Copilot 7e98b0cd29 .NET: Update HostedAgents samples to Azure.AI.AgentServer.AgentFramework 1.0.0-beta.9 and MEAI 10.3.0 (#4477)
* Initial plan

* Update HostedAgents samples to Azure.AI.AgentServer.AgentFramework 1.0.0-beta.9 and MEAI 10.3.0

Co-authored-by: rogerbarreto <19890735+rogerbarreto@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix HostedAgents samples for Microsoft.Agents.AI 1.0.0-rc2 API changes

- Rename CreateAIAgent -> AsAIAgent (AgentThreadAndHITL, AgentWithHostedMCP, AgentWithTextSearchRag)
- Rename AsAgent -> AsAIAgent (AgentsInWorkflows)
- Replace AIContextProviderFactory with AIContextProviders and simplified TextSearchProvider ctor (AgentWithTextSearchRag)
- Update Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI to 1.0.0-rc2 (AgentThreadAndHITL, AgentWithTextSearchRag, AgentWithTools)
- Update Microsoft.Agents.AI.Workflows to 1.0.0-rc2 (AgentsInWorkflows)
- Add Microsoft.Agents.AI 1.0.0-rc2 reference (AgentWithHostedMCP)

* Update HostedAgents samples for beta.9 API changes and add missing projects to slnx

- Use DefaultAzureCredential consistently across all samples
- Add AgentThreadAndHITL, AgentWithLocalTools, AgentWithTools to slnx
- Apply dotnet format

* Remove unnecessary Microsoft.Agents.AI.* package references (transitive from AgentFramework)

* Add DefaultAzureCredential production warning comments to all HostedAgents samples

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Update HostedAgents READMEs to reflect DefaultAzureCredential usage

Replace AzureCliCredential references with DefaultAzureCredential in all
HostedAgents README files to match the actual sample code.

* Replace Microsoft.Extensions.AI.OpenAI with Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI and remove AsIChatClient()

Swap package references from Microsoft.Extensions.AI.OpenAI to
Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI across all 6 HostedAgents samples. This enables
using the AsAIAgent() extension directly on ChatClient/ResponsesClient
(from OpenAI.Chat/OpenAI.Responses namespaces), removing the intermediate
AsIChatClient() call in 3 samples where it was unnecessary.

* Use explicit types and AsAIAgent() extensions across all HostedAgents samples

Replace var with explicit types for clarity in all 6 samples. Replace
new ChatClientAgent() constructor calls with chatClient.AsAIAgent()
extension method in AgentWithLocalTools and AgentsInWorkflows.

# What this sample demonstrates
This sample demonstrates how to use Foundry tools with an AI agent via the `UseFoundryTools` extension. The agent is configured with two tool types: an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection for fetching Microsoft Learn documentation and a code interpreter for running code when needed.
Key features:
- Configuring Foundry tools using `UseFoundryTools` with MCP and code interpreter
- Connecting to an external MCP tool via a Foundry project connection
- Using `DefaultAzureCredential` for Azure authentication
- OpenTelemetry instrumentation for both the chat client and agent
> For common prerequisites and setup instructions, see the [Hosted Agent Samples README](../README.md).
## Prerequisites
In addition to the common prerequisites:
1. An **Azure AI Foundry project** with a chat model deployed (e.g., `gpt-5.2`, `gpt-4o-mini`)
2. The **Azure AI Developer** role assigned on the Foundry resource (includes the `agents/write` data action required by `UseFoundryTools`)
3. An **MCP tool connection** configured in your Foundry project pointing to `https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp`
## Environment Variables
In addition to the common environment variables in the root README:
```powershell
# Your Azure AI Foundry project endpoint (required by UseFoundryTools)
$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-project"
# Chat model deployment name (defaults to gpt-4o-mini if not set)
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
# The MCP tool connection name (just the name, not the full ARM resource ID)
$env:MCP_TOOL_CONNECTION_ID="SampleMCPTool"
```
## How It Works
1. An `AzureOpenAIClient` is created with `DefaultAzureCredential` and used to get a chat client
2. The chat client is wrapped with `UseFoundryTools` which registers two Foundry tool types:
- **MCP connection**: Connects to an external MCP server (Microsoft Learn) via the project connection name, providing documentation fetch and search capabilities
- **Code interpreter**: Allows the agent to execute code snippets when needed
3. `UseFoundryTools` resolves the connection using `AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT` internally
4. A `ChatClientAgent` is created with instructions guiding it to use the MCP tools for documentation queries
5. The agent is hosted using `RunAIAgentAsync` which exposes the OpenAI Responses-compatible API endpoint
