Eduard van Valkenburg 5e056b672e Python: [BREAKING] Python: Provider-leading client design & OpenAI package extraction (#4818)
* 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

* 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

Function Tools Workflow

This sample demonstrates an agent with function tools responding to user queries about a restaurant menu.

Overview

The workflow showcases:

  • Function Tools: Agent equipped with tools to query menu data
  • Real Azure OpenAI Agent: Uses AzureOpenAIResponsesClient to create an agent with tools
  • Agent Registration: Shows how to register agents with the WorkflowFactory

Tools

The MenuAgent has access to these function tools:

Tool Description
get_menu() Returns all menu items with category, name, and price
get_specials() Returns today's special items
get_item_price(name) Returns the price of a specific item

Menu Data

Soups:
  - Clam Chowder - $4.95 (Special)
  - Tomato Soup - $4.95

Salads:
  - Cobb Salad - $9.99
  - House Salad - $4.95

Drinks:
  - Chai Tea - $2.95 (Special)
  - Soda - $1.95

Prerequisites

  • Azure OpenAI configured with required environment variables
  • Authentication via azure-identity (run az login before executing)

Usage

python main.py

Example Output

Loaded workflow: function-tools-workflow
============================================================
Restaurant Menu Assistant
============================================================

[Bot]: Welcome to the Restaurant Menu Assistant!

[Bot]: Today's soup special is the Clam Chowder for $4.95!

Session Complete

How It Works

  1. Create an Azure OpenAI chat client
  2. Create an agent with instructions and function tools
  3. Register the agent with the workflow factory
  4. Load the workflow YAML and run it with run() and stream=True
# Create the agent with tools
client = AzureOpenAIResponsesClient(
    project_endpoint=os.environ["AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT"],
    deployment_name=os.environ["AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"],
    credential=AzureCliCredential(),
)
menu_agent = client.as_agent(
    name="MenuAgent",
    instructions="You are a helpful restaurant menu assistant...",
    tools=[get_menu, get_specials, get_item_price],
)

# Register with the workflow factory
factory = WorkflowFactory(execution_mode="graph")
factory.register_agent("MenuAgent", menu_agent)

# Load and run the workflow
workflow = factory.create_workflow_from_yaml_path(workflow_path)
async for event in workflow.run(inputs={"userInput": "What is the soup of the day?"}, stream=True):
    ...
