* Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction Major refactoring of the Python Agent Framework client architecture: - Extract OpenAI clients into new `agent-framework-openai` package - Core package no longer depends on openai, azure-identity, azure-ai-projects - Rename clients for discoverability: OpenAIResponsesClient → OpenAIChatClient, OpenAIChatClient → OpenAIChatCompletionClient - Unify `model_id`/`deployment_name`/`model_deployment_name` → `model` param - New FoundryChatClient for Azure AI Foundry Responses API - New FoundryAgent/FoundryAgentClient for connecting to pre-configured Foundry agents - Remove OpenAIBase/OpenAIConfigMixin from non-deprecated client MRO - Deprecate AzureOpenAI* clients, AzureAIClient, OpenAIAssistantsClient - Reorganize samples: azure_openai+azure_ai+azure_ai_agent → azure/ - ADR-0020: Provider-Leading Client Design Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: missing Agent imports in samples, .model_id → .model in foundry_local sample Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: CI failures — mypy errors, coverage targets, sample imports - azure-ai mypy: add type ignores for TypedDict total=, model arg, forward ref - Coverage: replace core.azure/openai targets with openai package target - project_provider: add type annotation for opts dict Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: populate openai .pyi stub, fix broken README links, coverage targets Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * fixes * updated observabilitty * reset azure init.pyi * fix errors * updated adr number * fix foundry local * fixed not renamed docstrings and comments, and added deprecated markers to old classes * fix tests and pyprojects * fix test vars * updated function tests * update durable * updated test setup for functions * Fix Foundry auth in workflow samples Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Stabilize Python integration workflows Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Update hosting samples for Foundry Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Trigger full CI rerun Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Trigger CI rerun again Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * trigger rerun * trigger rerun * fix for litellm * undo durabletask changes * Move Foundry APIs into foundry namespace Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix Foundry pyproject formatting Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Split provider samples by Foundry surface Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Restore hosting sample requirements Also fix the Foundry Local sample link after the provider sample move.

Single Agent Sample (Python)
This sample demonstrates how to use the Durable Extension for Agent Framework to create a simple Azure Functions app that hosts a single AI agent and provides direct HTTP API access for interactive conversations.
Key Concepts Demonstrated
- Defining a simple agent with the Microsoft Agent Framework and wiring it into an Azure Functions app via the Durable Extension for Agent Framework.
- Calling the agent through generated HTTP endpoints (
/api/agents/Joker/run). - Managing conversation state with session identifiers, so multiple clients can interact with the agent concurrently without sharing context.
Prerequisites
Follow the common setup steps in ../README.md to install tooling, configure Azure OpenAI credentials, and install the Python dependencies for this sample.
Running the Sample
Send a prompt to the Joker agent:
Bash (Linux/macOS/WSL):
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run \
-d "Tell me a short joke about cloud computing."
PowerShell:
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri http://localhost:7071/api/agents/Joker/run `
-Body "Tell me a short joke about cloud computing."
The agent responds with a JSON payload that includes the generated joke.
Tip
To return immediately with an HTTP 202 response instead of waiting for the agent output, set the
x-ms-wait-for-responseheader or include"wait_for_response": falsein the request body. The default behavior waits for the response.
Expected Output
The default plain-text response looks like the following:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
x-ms-thread-id: 4f205157170244bfbd80209df383757e
Why did the cloud break up with the server?
Because it found someone more "uplifting"!
When you specify the x-ms-wait-for-response header or include "wait_for_response": false in the request body, the Functions host responds with an HTTP 202 and queues the request to run in the background. A typical response body looks like the following:
{
"status": "accepted",
"response": "Agent request accepted",
"message": "Tell me a short joke about cloud computing.",
"thread_id": "<guid>",
"correlation_id": "<guid>"
}
