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

* Add DefaultAzureCredential production warning comments to all HostedAgents samples

* 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 the use of AI agents as executors within a workflow.

This workflow uses three translation agents:

  1. French Agent - translates input text to French
  2. Spanish Agent - translates French text to Spanish
  3. English Agent - translates Spanish text back to English

The agents are connected sequentially, creating a translation chain that demonstrates how AI-powered components can be seamlessly integrated into workflow pipelines.

For common prerequisites and setup instructions, see the Hosted Agent Samples README.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • .NET 10 SDK or later
  • Azure OpenAI service endpoint and deployment configured
  • Azure CLI installed and authenticated (for Azure credential authentication)

Note: This demo uses DefaultAzureCredential for authentication, which probes multiple sources automatically. For local development, make sure you're logged in with az login and have access to the Azure OpenAI resource. For more information, see the Azure CLI documentation.

Set the following environment variables:

$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/" # Replace with your Azure OpenAI resource endpoint
$env:AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4o-mini
