// This sample shows how to host an AI agent with Azure Functions (DurableAgents).
//
// Prerequisites:
//   - Azure Functions Core Tools
//   - Azure OpenAI resource
//
// Environment variables:
//   AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT
//   AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (defaults to "gpt-5.4-mini")
//
// Run with: func start
// Then call: POST http://localhost:7071/api/agents/HostedAgent/run

// In production, consider using a specific credential (e.g., ManagedIdentityCredential) to avoid
// latency issues, unintended credential probing, and potential security risks from fallback mechanisms.
