* Bump Python package versions to 1.5.0 for a release
* Promote orchestrations to 1.0.0rc1
* ci(python-setup): merge dynamic exclude into existing workspace exclude
The python-setup action injected exclude = [...] verbatim into
[tool.uv.workspace], producing a duplicate 'exclude' key when the
section already had a static exclude. Scope the rewrite to the
[tool.uv.workspace] section and append the package to the existing
array when present; idempotent if the package is already excluded.
* Address Copilot review feedback: raise inter-package floors to 1.5.0
- foundry, foundry-local: agent-framework-openai >=1.4.0 -> >=1.5.0
- azure-contentunderstanding: agent-framework-foundry >=1.4.0 -> >=1.5.0
- azurefunctions: pin agent-framework-durabletask to >=1.0.0b260519,<2
Keeps lockstep cohort consistent and avoids mixed 1.4.x / 1.5.0 installs.
* Re-include azurefunctions and durabletask in the uv workspace
The pinned durabletask>=1.4.0 floor is enough to make resolution succeed;
the workspace exclude was over-correction and broke CI samples and pyright
type-checking (re-exports in agent_framework/azure/__init__.pyi plus
samples/04-hosting/{azure_functions,durabletask}/ could not resolve their
imports). Dropping them from agent-framework-core[all] still stands so the
metapackage does not pull them.
* Restore azurefunctions and durabletask in agent-framework-core[all]
The durabletask floor pin keeps users on the safe 1.4.0, so they are once
again included in the metapackage. Update CHANGELOG to reflect the pin
rather than an [all] removal.
* Raise uvicorn ceiling in ag-ui and devui to allow 0.42+
The root override-dependencies pins uvicorn[standard]>=0.34.0 (no upper)
and the workspace lock resolves to 0.47.0. The package ceiling <0.42.0
meant the workspace was no longer testing the declared supported range.
Bump to <1 so the lock fits within the declared bounds.
Also picked up by validate-dependency-bounds: refresh stale orchestrations
RC pin in devui dev deps.
Get Started with Microsoft Agent Framework Azure Cosmos DB
Please install this package via pip:
pip install agent-framework-azure-cosmos --pre
Azure Cosmos DB History Provider
The Azure Cosmos DB integration provides CosmosHistoryProvider for persistent conversation history storage.
Basic Usage Example
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
from agent_framework_azure_cosmos import CosmosHistoryProvider
provider = CosmosHistoryProvider(
endpoint="https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/",
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
database_name="agent-framework",
container_name="chat-history",
)
Credentials follow the same pattern used by other Azure connectors in the repository:
- Pass a credential object (for example
DefaultAzureCredential) - Or pass a key string directly
- Or set
AZURE_COSMOS_KEYin the environment
Container naming behavior:
- Container name is configured on the provider (
container_nameorAZURE_COSMOS_CONTAINER_NAME) session_idis used as the Cosmos partition key for reads/writes
See samples/02-agents/conversations/cosmos_history_provider.py for a runnable example.
Cosmos DB Workflow Checkpoint Storage
CosmosCheckpointStorage implements the CheckpointStorage protocol, enabling
durable workflow checkpointing backed by Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL. Workflows can be
paused and resumed across process restarts by persisting checkpoint state in Cosmos DB.
Basic Usage
Managed Identity / RBAC (recommended for production)
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
from agent_framework import WorkflowBuilder
from agent_framework_azure_cosmos import CosmosCheckpointStorage
checkpoint_storage = CosmosCheckpointStorage(
endpoint="https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/",
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
database_name="agent-framework",
container_name="workflow-checkpoints",
)
Account Key
from agent_framework_azure_cosmos import CosmosCheckpointStorage
checkpoint_storage = CosmosCheckpointStorage(
endpoint="https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/",
credential="<your-account-key>",
database_name="agent-framework",
container_name="workflow-checkpoints",
)
Then use with a workflow
from agent_framework import WorkflowBuilder
# Build a workflow with checkpointing enabled
workflow = WorkflowBuilder(
start_executor=start,
checkpoint_storage=checkpoint_storage,
).build()
# Run the workflow — checkpoints are automatically saved after each superstep
result = await workflow.run(message="input data")
# Resume from a checkpoint
latest = await checkpoint_storage.get_latest(workflow_name=workflow.name)
if latest:
resumed = await workflow.run(checkpoint_id=latest.checkpoint_id)
Authentication Options
CosmosCheckpointStorage supports the same authentication modes as CosmosHistoryProvider:
- Managed identity / RBAC (recommended): Pass
DefaultAzureCredential(),ManagedIdentityCredential(), or any AzureTokenCredential - Account key: Pass a key string via
credentialparameter - Environment variables: Set
AZURE_COSMOS_ENDPOINT,AZURE_COSMOS_DATABASE_NAME,AZURE_COSMOS_CONTAINER_NAME, andAZURE_COSMOS_KEY(key not required when using Azure credentials) - Pre-created client: Pass an existing
CosmosClientorContainerProxy
Database and Container Setup
The database and container are created automatically on first use (via
create_database_if_not_exists and create_container_if_not_exists). The container
uses /workflow_name as the partition key. You can also pre-create them in the Azure
portal with this partition key configuration.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
AZURE_COSMOS_ENDPOINT |
Cosmos DB account endpoint |
AZURE_COSMOS_DATABASE_NAME |
Database name |
AZURE_COSMOS_CONTAINER_NAME |
Container name |
AZURE_COSMOS_KEY |
Account key (optional if using Azure credentials) |
