- WorkflowEvaluationExtensions for per-agent workflow evaluation
- 7 eval samples mirroring Python parity:
02-agents/Evaluation: SimpleEval, ExpectedOutputs, Multimodal
03-workflows/Evaluation: WorkflowEval
05-end-to-end/Evaluation: FoundryQuality, MixedProviders, ConversationSplits
- Comprehensive unit tests (1958 passing)

* Rewrite FoundryEvals to use real Foundry Evals API
Replace MEAI evaluator shim with actual OpenAI EvaluationClient protocol
methods. FoundryEvals now creates eval definitions, submits runs, polls
for completion, and fetches per-item results server-side.
- New constructor: FoundryEvals(AIProjectClient, model, evaluators)
- Add FoundryEvalConverter for MEAI ChatMessage -> Foundry JSON format
- Add EvalId, RunId, ReportUrl to AgentEvaluationResults
- All 20 built-in evaluator constants now work (agent, tool, quality, safety)
- Remove Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation.Quality/Safety dependencies
- Update all samples for new constructor (no more ChatConfiguration)
- Replace BuildEvaluators tests with ResolveEvaluator tests

* Add response output to CustomEvals and ExpectedOutputs samples
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
* Address review: pagination, validation, error handling, tests
FoundryEvals fixes:
- Add pagination for output items (has_more/after cursor)
- Add guard clauses for pollIntervalSeconds/timeoutSeconds <= 0
- Fix double TryGetProperty for passed field parsing
- Throw on all-tool-evaluators with no tool definitions
- Fix XML doc (default 300s, not 180s)
New tests (30 added, 1989 total):
- EvalChecks: NonEmpty, ContainsExpected (pass/fail/skip/case),
HasImageContent, ToolCallsPresent
- FoundryEvalConverter: ConvertMessage (text, image, function call,
function results fan-out, empty fallback, mixed content),
ConvertEvalItem, BuildTestingCriteria (quality/agent/tool/groundedness
data mappings), BuildItemSchema

* Fix review: null-refs, Data.ToString() bug, ContainsExpected, add tests
- Fix NullReferenceException in sample Response display (pattern matching)
- Fix WorkflowEvaluationExtensions Data?.ToString() producing type names
instead of message text (pattern-match ChatMessage/AgentResponse/list)
- Change EvalChecks.ContainsExpected to return Passed=false when no
ExpectedOutput (was silently passing, masking misconfiguration)
- Add EvalItem constructor tests with LastTurn/Full/null splitters
- Add FoundryEvalConverter.ConvertMessage DataContent (base64 image) test
- Add ExtractAgentData tests with ChatMessage, list, and AgentResponse data

* Fix review: conversation fidelity, eval caching, fallback tests
- WorkflowEvaluationExtensions: preserve full response messages (tool calls,
intermediate) instead of synthetic 2-message conversation. Cast completed
Data to AgentResponse and use Messages when available, fallback to text.
- FoundryEvals: cache evalId per schema shape (hasContext, hasTools) so
subsequent EvaluateAsync calls create runs under the same eval definition.
- MeaiEvaluatorAdapter: code already correctly passes queryMessages (not full
conversation) to IEvaluator — no change needed, verified by inspection.
- Add tests: AgentResponse full messages preservation, unknown object
ToString() fallback for ExtractAgentData.

* Rename AzureAI→Foundry: move eval files, update references
- Move FoundryEvals.cs and FoundryEvalConverter.cs from
Microsoft.Agents.AI.AzureAI to Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry
- Update namespace from AzureAI to Foundry in both files
- Add explicit usings required by Foundry project (no implicit usings)
- Move FoundryEvalConverter tests to Foundry.UnitTests project
(avoids ReplacingRedactor type conflict from dual project refs)
- Update all sample csproj references and using statements
- Remove Foundry project reference from AI UnitTests

* PR review round 4: wire up tool extraction, remove eval cache, fix null safety
- BuildEvalItem: extract tools from agent via GetService<ChatOptions>() into EvalItem.Tools (Python parity)
- FoundryEvals: remove eval ID cache - each call creates fresh definition (matches Python behavior)
- FoundryEvals: replace null-forgiving operators with descriptive InvalidOperationException
- MixedProviders sample: remove unnecessary explicit PackageReferences (transitively provided)
- FoundryEvalConverter: document that tool results take precedence over text content
- Add LocalEvaluator zero-checks test documenting 0 metrics = failed behavior

* Python-dotnet parity: 9 feature gaps filled
New checks:
- ToolCallArgsMatch() — verify tool call names + argument subset match
- ToolCalledCheck(ToolCalledMode.Any, ...) — match any of the specified tools
- ToolCalledMode enum (All/Any)
FoundryEvals enhancements:
- Default evaluators now [Relevance, Coherence, TaskAdherence] (was Relevance, Coherence)
- Auto-add ToolCallAccuracy when items have tool definitions
- EvaluateTracesAsync — evaluate by response_ids, trace_ids, or agent_id
- EvaluateFoundryTargetAsync — evaluate deployed Foundry targets
Result type enrichment:
- AgentEvaluationResults: added Status, Error, PerEvaluator, DetailedItems
- New EvalItemResult/EvalScoreResult/PerEvaluatorResult types
- FoundryEvals populates all new fields from API responses
Workflow fix:
- Skip internal executors (_*, input-conversation, end-conversation, end)
Tests: 8 new tests covering ToolCallArgsMatch, ToolCalledMode.Any, internal executor filtering

* Add MeaiEvaluatorAdapter and PerTurnItems edge case tests
- 3 tests for MeaiEvaluatorAdapter: query message forwarding, synthetic
response fallback, multiple items aggregation
- 3 tests for EvalItem.PerTurnItems: empty conversation, no user messages,
system+assistant only
- StubEvaluator and StubChatClient test helpers

* Blocking link check for outdated package in DevUI.
* Replace Dictionary<string, object> payloads with typed wire models
Introduce internal FoundryEvalWireModels.cs with compile-time-safe types
for the OpenAI Evals API wire format. The OpenAI .NET SDK (2.9.1) only
provides protocol-level methods with BinaryContent/ClientResult — no
typed request models. These internal models replace scattered dictionary
literals with [JsonPropertyName]-annotated classes, giving:
- Compile-time safety (typos become build errors)
- Single point of change when the API evolves
- IntelliSense discoverability
- Cleaner serialization via JsonPolymorphic for content items
Models: WireContentItem hierarchy (text, image, tool_call, tool_result),
WireMessage, WireEvalItemPayload, WireTestingCriterion, WireItemSchema,
WireCreateEvalRequest, WireCreateRunRequest, and data source variants.

* Skip metric when Foundry returns neither score nor passed
When an evaluator returns no score and no passed value, the previous
code created BooleanMetric(name, false), which falsely failed items
via ItemPassed. Now we skip the MEAI metric entirely for indeterminate
results — the raw data remains available in DetailedItems for diagnostics.

* Address PR #4914 review comments: fix tool evaluator bug and add tests

against ToolEvaluators set (Comment 2)
- Make FilterToolEvaluators internal for testability; add tests for the
ArgumentException edge case when all evaluators are tool-type (Comment 3)
- Add CancellationToken test for LocalEvaluator (Comment 4)
- Add EvaluateAsync integration test on Run with sequential workflow and
per-agent SubResults verification (Comment 5)

* Address Peter's review comments on PR #4914
- Add trailing newline to Evaluation_FoundryQuality.csproj (Comment 6)
- Make evaluator name lookups case-insensitive: switch BuiltinEvaluators,
ToolEvaluators, AgentEvaluators, and ResolveEvaluator's StartsWith check
from Ordinal to OrdinalIgnoreCase (Comment 7)
- Add Trace.TraceWarning when Foundry returns fewer results than submitted
items, indicating expected vs actual count before padding (Comment 8)

* Add Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Evaluation packages to Directory.Packages.props
These were removed in #5269 as unused, but are needed by the Foundry
and core evaluation integration added in this PR.
