Giles Odigwe 28e3fc308b Python: Fix Azure AI sample errors (#4021)
* Python: Fix Azure AI sample errors

- azure_ai_with_application_endpoint: Add missing name to Agent constructor
- azure_ai_with_file_search: Fix resource path (parents[2] -> parents[3])
- azure_ai_with_openapi: Fix resource path (parents[2] -> parents[3])
- azure_ai_with_session: Use get_agent/get_session to reuse existing agent
  version and preserve conversation context across agent instances

* Python: Fix resource paths in azure_ai_agent samples

- azure_ai_with_file_search: Fix path to employees.pdf (parent.parent -> parents[3]/shared)
- azure_ai_with_openapi_tools: Fix path to weather.json/countries.json (parents[2] -> parents[3])

* fix V1 SDK hosted tools (FileSearchTool, etc.) silently dropped during agent creation

* fix: V2 file search sample uses correct SDK (AIProjectClient instead of AgentsClient)

The azure_ai/azure_ai_with_file_search.py sample incorrectly used the V1
AgentsClient for file/vector store operations. Replaced with V2 pattern:
AIProjectClient + get_openai_client() for file upload and vector store
management, matching the official Azure AI Projects SDK samples.

* fix: use context manager for file open in V2 file search sample

Python Samples

This directory contains samples demonstrating the capabilities of Microsoft Agent Framework for Python.

Structure

Folder Description
01-get-started/ Progressive tutorial: hello agent → hosting
02-agents/ Deep-dive by concept: tools, middleware, providers, orchestrations
03-workflows/ Workflow patterns: sequential, concurrent, state, declarative
04-hosting/ Deployment: Azure Functions, Durable Tasks, A2A
05-end-to-end/ Full applications, evaluation, demos

Getting Started

Start with 01-get-started/ and work through the numbered files:

  1. 01_hello_agent.py — Create and run your first agent
  2. 02_add_tools.py — Add function tools with @tool
  3. 03_multi_turn.py — Multi-turn conversations with AgentThread
  4. 04_memory.py — Agent memory with ContextProvider
  5. 05_first_workflow.py — Build a workflow with executors and edges
  6. 06_host_your_agent.py — Host your agent via A2A

Prerequisites

pip install agent-framework --pre

Set the following environment variables for the getting-started samples:

export AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
export AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o"

For Azure authentication, run az login before running samples.

Note on XML tags

Some sample files include XML-style snippet tags (for example <snippet_name> and </snippet_name>). These are used by our documentation tooling and can be ignored or removed when you use the samples outside this repository.
