* Python: Migrate GitHub Copilot package to SDK 0.2.x Replace all imports from the non-existent copilot.types module with correct SDK 0.2.x module paths (copilot.session, copilot.client, copilot.tools, copilot.generated.session_events). Fix PermissionRequest attribute access from dict-style .get() to dataclass attribute access. Add OTel telemetry support to Copilot samples via configure_otel_providers and document new telemetry environment variables in samples README. * Python: Fix remaining copilot.types import in sample validation script * Python: Include model in default_options for telemetry span attributes * Python: Address review feedback on log_level and session kwargs typing * Python: Scope PR to SDK 0.2.x migration only, remove net-new OTel features - Remove RawGitHubCopilotAgent split and AgentTelemetryLayer inheritance - Remove TelemetryConfig plumbing and OTLP/file telemetry settings - Remove configure_otel_providers() calls from samples - Remove telemetry env var rows from samples README - Retain only: import path fixes, PermissionRequest attribute access fix, log_level default fix, session kwargs typed fix, dependency pin * Python: Update tests for SDK 0.2.x API changes - SubprocessConfig replaces CopilotClientOptions dict - create_session and resume_session now use keyword args - send and send_and_wait take plain string prompt instead of MessageOptions - on_permission_request is always required; deny-all fallback replaces omission * Python: Pin github-copilot-sdk to >=0.2.0,<=0.2.0 Tighten the upper bound from <0.3.0 to <=0.2.0 to avoid pulling in 0.2.1+ which has breaking API changes relative to 0.2.0. The lower bound stays at >=0.2.0 since this migration requires the 0.2.x import paths; 0.1.x would fail at import time. * Python: Pin github-copilot-sdk to >=0.2.1,<=0.2.1 --------- Co-authored-by: Evan Mattson <35585003+moonbox3@users.noreply.github.com>

- 02_add_tools.py — Add function tools with
@tool - 03_multi_turn.py — Multi-turn conversations with
AgentSession - 04_memory.py — Agent memory with
ContextProvider - 05_first_workflow.py — Build a workflow with executors and edges
- 06_host_your_agent.py — Host your agent via Azure Functions
Prerequisites
pip install agent-framework
Environment Variables
Samples call load_dotenv() to automatically load environment variables from a .env file in the python/ directory. This is a convenience for local development and testing.
For local development, set up your environment using any of these methods:
Option 1: Using a .env file (recommended for local development):
- Copy
.env.exampleto.envin thepython/directory:cp .env.example .env - Edit
.envand set your values (API keys, endpoints, etc.)
Option 2: Export environment variables directly:
export FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
export FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"
Option 3: Using env_file_path parameter (for per-client configuration):
All client classes (e.g., OpenAIChatClient, OpenAIChatCompletionClient) support an env_file_path parameter to load environment variables from a specific file:
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
# Load from a custom .env file
client = OpenAIChatClient(env_file_path="path/to/custom.env")
This allows different clients to use different configuration files if needed.
For the generic OpenAI clients (OpenAIChatClient and OpenAIChatCompletionClient), routing
precedence is:
- Explicit Azure inputs such as
credential,azure_endpoint, orapi_version OPENAI_API_KEY/ explicit OpenAI API-key parameters- Azure environment fallback such as
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINTandAZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY
If you keep both OpenAI and Azure variables in your shell, the generic clients stay on OpenAI until you pass an explicit Azure input.
For the getting-started samples, you'll need at minimum:
FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"
Consolidated sample env inventory
This is the single source of truth for package-level environment variables read by packages included by
agent-framework-core[all]. It intentionally excludes variables that are only read by standalone samples,
package sample folders, or tests. When package code adds, removes, or renames an environment variable,
update this table in the same change.
Example values below are illustrative. For entries not backed by a single public class, the class
column names the closest public surface, helper, or package-level initialization point that reads the
variable.

agent-framework-openai supports the Azure OpenAI client-specific deployment aliases listed above; keep
packages/openai/README.md as the authoritative reference for the exact fallback order and package-specific
behavior.
Note for production: In production environments, set environment variables through your deployment platform (e.g., Azure App Settings, Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets) rather than using .env files. The load_dotenv() call in samples will have no effect when a .env file is not present, allowing environment variables to be loaded from the system.
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.
