* Add set_stop_loss tool to concurrent_builder_tool_approval sample Add a second approval-gated tool (set_stop_loss) to the concurrent workflow tool approval sample to demonstrate handling approval requests for different tools in the same concurrent workflow. Changes: - Add set_stop_loss(symbol, stop_price) with approval_mode='always_require' - Include new tool in both agents' tool lists - Update agent instructions and prompt to encourage stop-loss usage - Update docstring to reflect two approval-gated tools - Update sample output to show mixed approval requests Fixes #4874 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Print tool name and arguments in concurrent sample's process_event_stream (#4874) Align process_event_stream in concurrent_builder_tool_approval.py to print the tool name and arguments when collecting approval requests, matching the sample output comment and the sequential_builder_tool_approval.py pattern. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add None-guard for function_call access in tool approval sample (#4874) Add explicit None-checks before accessing function_call.name and function_call.arguments in concurrent_builder_tool_approval.py. The function_call field is typed Content | None, so direct attribute access without a guard could raise AttributeError and required type: ignore comments. The None-guard is consistent with the pattern used in _agent_run.py and removes the suppression comments. Also add a regression test verifying that function_call defaults to None and that the None-guard pattern is safe. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Apply same function_call None-guard to sibling tool-approval samples (#4874) Apply the same fix to sequential_builder_tool_approval.py and group_chat_builder_tool_approval.py, which had the identical pattern of accessing function_call.name/arguments without a None-guard.

Getting Started
Start with 01-get-started/ and work through the numbered files:
- 01_hello_agent.py — Create and run your first agent
- 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.
