* Fix agent_with_hosted_mcp sample to use AzureOpenAIResponsesClient (#4861) The agent_with_hosted_mcp sample used AzureOpenAIChatClient with an MCP tool dict, but the Chat Completions API only supports 'function' and 'custom' tool types, not 'mcp'. This caused a 400 error at runtime. Switch the sample to AzureOpenAIResponsesClient which natively supports MCP tools via the Responses API. Use get_mcp_tool() to construct the tool config. Changes: - main.py: Replace AzureOpenAIChatClient with AzureOpenAIResponsesClient - requirements.txt: Update azure-ai-agentserver-agentframework to 1.0.0b16 and use agent-framework-azure-ai package - agent.yaml: Use AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME env var - Add regression test documenting chat client MCP tool passthrough behavior Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Python: Fix agent_with_hosted_mcp sample to use Responses API client for MCP tools Fixes #4861 * Remove REPRODUCTION_REPORT.md investigation artifact (#4861) Remove the reproduction report markdown file from the test directory. Investigation notes belong in the GitHub issue or PR description, not as committed files in the source tree. The regression test in test_openai_chat_client.py already provides automated verification. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> * Add MCP tool API rejection regression test (#4861) Add test_mcp_tool_dict_causes_api_rejection to verify that MCP tool dicts passed through to the Chat Completions API result in a clear ChatClientException rather than being silently dropped. This completes the regression test coverage requested in code review.

agent-framework-openai
OpenAI integration for Microsoft Agent Framework.
This package provides:
OpenAIChatClientfor the OpenAI Responses APIOpenAIChatCompletionClientfor the Chat Completions APIOpenAIEmbeddingClientfor embeddings
Installation
pip install agent-framework-openai --pre
Which chat client should I use?
Use OpenAIChatClient for new work unless you specifically need the Chat Completions API.
OpenAIChatClientuses the Responses API and is the preferred general-purpose chat client.OpenAIChatCompletionClientuses the Chat Completions API and is mainly for compatibility with existing Chat Completions-based integrations.
The previous deprecated Responses alias has been removed. Use OpenAIChatClient directly.

OPENAI_RESPONSES_MODEL |
Preferred model for OpenAIChatClient |
OPENAI_CHAT_MODEL |
Preferred model for OpenAIChatCompletionClient |
OPENAI_EMBEDDING_MODEL |
Preferred model for OpenAIEmbeddingClient |
Model lookup order:

Azure OpenAI
These variables are used when the client is configured for Azure OpenAI:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT |
Azure OpenAI resource endpoint |
AZURE_OPENAI_BASE_URL |
Full Azure OpenAI base URL (.../openai/v1) |
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY |
Azure OpenAI API key |
AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION |
Azure OpenAI API version |
AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME |
Generic fallback deployment |
AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME |
Preferred deployment for OpenAIChatClient |
AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME |
Preferred deployment for OpenAIChatCompletionClient |
AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME |
Preferred deployment for OpenAIEmbeddingClient |
Deployment lookup order:
OpenAIChatClient:AZURE_OPENAI_RESPONSES_DEPLOYMENT_NAME->AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAMEOpenAIChatCompletionClient:AZURE_OPENAI_CHAT_DEPLOYMENT_NAME->AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAMEOpenAIEmbeddingClient:AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME->AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME
When both OpenAI and Azure environment variables are present, the generic clients prefer OpenAI
when OPENAI_API_KEY is configured. To use Azure explicitly, pass azure_endpoint or
credential.
OpenAI example
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
client = OpenAIChatClient(model="gpt-4.1")
Azure OpenAI example
from azure.identity.aio import AzureCliCredential
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
client = OpenAIChatClient(
model="my-responses-deployment",
azure_endpoint="https://my-resource.openai.azure.com",
credential=AzureCliCredential(),
)
ChatClient vs ChatCompletionClient
Use OpenAIChatClient when you want the Responses API as your default chat surface.
Use OpenAIChatCompletionClient when you specifically need the Chat Completions API:
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
client = OpenAIChatCompletionClient(model="gpt-4o-mini")
