Add FoundryToolbox and AIProjectClient extensions to Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting for server-side toolbox tool integration matching Python's FoundryChatClient.get_toolbox() pattern. Tools are fetched from the Foundry project SDK and passed as server-side tools in the Responses API request.

New files:

  • FoundryToolbox.cs: Core implementation using AgentAdministrationClient SDK
  • AIProjectClientToolboxExtensions.cs: Extension methods on AIProjectClient
  • Agent_Step25_ToolboxServerSideTools sample with create helper and combine flow
  • 19 unit tests covering param validation, conversion, sanitization, and extensions

SDK breaking changes (Azure.AI.AgentServer.Responses beta.3 -> beta.4):

  • FunctionToolCallOutputResource renamed to OutputItemFunctionToolCallOutput
  • AzureAIAgentServerResponsesModelFactory made internal, replaced with direct constructors
  • ResponseUsage constructor now requires non-null token details parameters

Contribution Checklist

  • The code builds clean without any errors or warnings
  • The PR follows the Contribution Guidelines
  • All unit tests pass, and I have added new tests where possible
  • Is this a breaking change? If yes, add "[BREAKING]" prefix to the title of the PR.

Automated Code Review

Reviewers: 4 | Confidence: 89%

✓ Correctness

This PR bumps Azure.AI.AgentServer.* package versions, adds Foundry toolbox support (FoundryToolbox, AIProjectClientToolboxExtensions), adapts to SDK type renames (FunctionToolCallOutputResource → OutputItemFunctionToolCallOutput, factory → direct constructors), and adds comprehensive unit tests. The changes are internally consistent and correctly handle the SDK API migration. No correctness bugs were found.

✓ Security Reliability

This PR adds Foundry toolbox support (new FoundryToolbox class and AIProjectClient extensions), bumps Azure SDK package versions, and adapts existing code to renamed/changed API types. From a security and reliability perspective, the changes are sound: input validation uses Throw.IfNull/IfNullOrWhitespace consistently, JSON round-tripping in SanitizeAndConvert uses standard Azure SDK ModelReaderWriter patterns, no secrets are hardcoded, environment variables are used for configuration in the sample, and DefaultAzureCredential is used for authentication. The VersionOverride in sample/test csproj files (2.1.0-beta.1 vs central 2.0.0) is intentional for toolbox API access. No security or reliability issues found.

✓ Test Coverage

The PR adds substantial test coverage for the new FoundryToolbox functionality (parameter validation, conversion, HTTP integration, extension methods). However, there are two notable test coverage gaps: (1) the error path where GetToolboxVersionCoreAsync throws InvalidOperationException when a toolbox has no default version is untested, and (2) the test named GetToolsAsync_ReturnsConvertedAIToolsAsync actually calls GetToolboxVersionAsync + ToAITools() instead of the GetToolsAsync convenience method, leaving that method without a functional test. Additionally, the SanitizeAndConvert decoration-stripping test uses a weak assertion that only checks NotNull rather than verifying the fields were actually removed.

✗ Design Approach

The toolbox-loading API addition is directionally sound, but two parts of the change take the wrong design approach: the new sample provisions its toolbox by deleting any existing fixed-name toolbox on every run, which is destructive for shared Foundry projects, and the ResponseUsage update adapts to the new SDK shape by hardcoding detail objects to zero instead of preserving the cached/reasoning token counts the framework already carries through UsageDetails elsewhere.

Flagged Issues

  • dotnet/samples/02-agents/AgentsWithFoundry/Agent_Step25_ToolboxServerSideTools/Program.cs:117 unconditionally deletes and recreates a fixed-name toolbox on every run, destroying existing project state in shared Foundry projects. Use create-if-missing semantics or a unique sample-specific toolbox name so the sample doesn't mutate real resources.
  • dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry.Hosting/OutputConverter.cs:261-265 hardcodes token detail objects to zero, discarding UsageDetails.AdditionalCounts data that the framework preserves elsewhere (e.g., MessageMerger.cs:278-303). Map these counts into ResponseUsageInputTokensDetails and ResponseUsageOutputTokensDetails, following the same pattern used in AgentResponseExtensions.cs:247-262.

Automated Code Review

Reviewers: 4 | Confidence: 78%

✓ Correctness

This PR bumps Azure.AI.AgentServer.* SDK packages, adapts code to breaking API changes (type renames, constructor signature changes), and adds new FoundryToolbox functionality for fetching and converting Foundry toolbox tools into AITool instances for server-side use. The changes are well-structured with thorough parameter validation, proper error handling, and comprehensive tests. I found no correctness bugs — the type renames (FunctionToolCallOutputResource → OutputItemFunctionToolCallOutput), constructor changes (ResponseUsage), and new toolbox sanitization logic all appear correct based on verified code patterns in the repository.

✓ Security Reliability

This PR adapts to Azure SDK version bumps (Azure.AI.AgentServer.Core/Invocations/Responses), adds new FoundryToolbox functionality for fetching and converting Foundry toolbox tools to AITool instances, and updates tests for renamed SDK types (FunctionToolCallOutputResource → OutputItemFunctionToolCallOutput, factory methods → direct constructors). The code follows established patterns: proper input validation via Throw.IfNull/IfNullOrWhitespace, correct async/ConfigureAwait(false) usage, and comprehensive test coverage including parameter validation, mock HTTP integration, and sanitization of decoration fields. No security vulnerabilities, injection risks, resource leaks, or unhandled failure modes were identified.

✓ Test Coverage

The PR adds Foundry toolbox support (FoundryToolbox, AIProjectClientToolboxExtensions) with good test coverage including parameter validation, conversion, mock HTTP integration, and extension method tests. Existing tests were updated to accommodate SDK type renames. However, there are two notable test coverage gaps: (1) no test for GetToolboxVersionCoreAsync when DefaultVersion is null on the toolbox record (which throws InvalidOperationException), and (2) the SanitizeAndConvert tests only cover function and code_interpreter tool types but not the custom tool type (which is also exempted from stripping) or other non-function types like mcp/web_search/file_search. Additionally, the GetToolsAsync path through the static FoundryToolbox class is only tested indirectly — the direct static method is never exercised end-to-end with mock HTTP.

✓ Design Approach

This PR adds Foundry toolbox support via a new FoundryToolbox class and AIProjectClientToolboxExtensions, bumps three Azure.AI.AgentServer.* package versions, and adapts to breaking SDK changes (type renames, removed factory methods). The design is generally sound. One notable issue: ConvertUsage in OutputConverter.cs now hardcodes 0 for inputTokensDetails and outputTokensDetails while also failing to carry forward existing.InputTokensDetails/existing.OutputTokensDetails during accumulation — meaning that if a future UsageDetails source ever provides cached or audio token counts, they will be silently dropped on the second and subsequent accumulation pass. The SanitizeAndConvert JSON round-trip workaround is an unavoidable consequence of an external API mismatch (toolbox API adds decoration fields that the Responses API rejects on hosted tool types), is clearly documented, and has no cleaner alternative given sealed SDK model types. The shift from AzureAIAgentServerResponsesModelFactory factory methods to direct object initializers throughout tests is correctly driven by the SDK bump removing those factory overloads.

Suggestions

  • Expand SanitizeAndConvert test coverage beyond "function" and "code_interpreter" to include the "custom" tool type (which shares the preservation path at FoundryToolbox.cs line 162) and an MCP tool type with decoration fields to verify stripping works for the real-world hosted tool scenario mentioned in the sample and code comments.
  • In ConvertUsage (OutputConverter.cs), the accumulation of existing discards existing.InputTokensDetails and existing.OutputTokensDetails, replacing them with hardcoded 0. The accumulation loop already carries forward raw token counts from existing; the details should be treated consistently so that if UsageDetails gains cached/audio token fields, the second call in a multi-update stream does not silently zero out values from the first call.

Static local functions cannot capture top-level variables. Thread the
endpoint parameter through Main, CombineToolboxes, and CreateSampleToolboxAsync.

Automated Code Review

Reviewers: 4 | Confidence: 87%

✗ Correctness

The PR adds Foundry toolbox support with new extension methods, tests, and a sample. Beyond the existing unresolved review comments (which I will not duplicate), I found two new issues: (1) the sample's CreateSampleToolboxAsync is a static local function that references the enclosing top-level variable endpoint, which is a C# compile error (CS8421), and (2) the README documents env var names (AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT, AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME) that don't match the code (FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT_2, FOUNDRY_MODEL), and the error message at line 28 also references the wrong env var name.

✗ Security Reliability

The PR adds Foundry toolbox support with new extension methods, a sample, and corresponding tests. The most notable new issue is a misleading environment variable name in the sample: the code reads FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT_2 but the error message and README both reference AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT, which will confuse users who follow the documentation. The existing unresolved comments about hardcoded zero usage details, whitespace validation on DefaultVersion, the sample re-creating clients, and README wording remain valid and are not restated here.

✗ Test Coverage

The new FoundryToolbox feature has good test coverage for the happy paths (parameter validation, tool conversion, HTTP integration with mocks, extension methods). However, there are two notable test coverage gaps: (1) the error path in GetToolboxVersionCoreAsync where DefaultVersion is null is not tested, and (2) the existing usage/token tests in OutputConverterTests only assert that a ResponseCompletedEvent exists — none verify the actual token counts or the newly added inputTokensDetails/outputTokensDetails fields, making the ConvertUsage change effectively untested beyond 'no exception'.

✗ Design Approach

Beyond the issues already raised on this PR, I found one additional design problem: the new Step25 sample exposes a one-off environment-variable contract (FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT_2 / FOUNDRY_MODEL) that diverges from the rest of the Foundry samples and from its own README. That leaks a local setup detail into a public sample, so readers who follow the documented sample conventions will configure the wrong variables and fail before they reach the toolbox scenario itself.

Flagged Issues

  • Program.cs: CreateSampleToolboxAsync is declared static but captures the top-level variable endpoint, producing CS8421. Either remove static or pass endpoint as a parameter.

Suggestions

  • The existing usage tests (ConvertUpdatesToEventsAsync_UsageContent_IncludesUsageInCompletedAsync, MultipleUsageUpdates_AccumulatesTokensAsync) only assert that a ResponseCompletedEvent is emitted — they never verify actual InputTokens/OutputTokens/TotalTokens values. Adding assertions on the Usage property would catch regressions, especially given the ConvertUsage changes adding detail objects.

## 1.2.2

## [1.2.2] - 2026-04-29

### Added
- **agent-framework-azure-contentunderstanding**: New alpha package —
Azure AI Content Understanding context provider that auto-analyzes file
attachments (documents, images, audio, video) and injects structured
results into the LLM context, with multi-document session state,
configurable timeout, output filtering via `AnalysisSection`, and
auto-registered `list_documents` / `get_analyzed_document` tools
([#​4829](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/4829))
- **agent-framework-foundry-hosting**: Add hosted Durable Workflow
support — propagate full conversation history to workflow agents and
wire `Workflow.as_agent()` end-to-end via the foundry hosting layer
([#​5531](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5531))

### Changed
- **agent-framework-orchestrations**: [BREAKING] Standardize
orchestration terminal outputs as `AgentResponse` so
`Workflow.as_agent()` returns the final answer only; aligns
sequential-approval (`with_request_info`) and concurrent
(`intermediate_outputs=True`) flows on the same output contract
([#​5301](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5301))
- **agent-framework-core**, **agent-framework-declarative**: Preserve
`Workflow.run()` shared state across calls so multi-turn `WorkflowAgent`
invocations retain context, accept `list[Message]` input in the
declarative start executor, and coerce `Enum` values when serializing
PowerFx symbols
([#​5531](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5531))
- **dependencies**: Update workspace package dependencies and preserve
`mcp[ws]` / `uvicorn[standard]` extras through override-dependencies in
`/python`
([#​5555](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5555))

### Fixed
- **agent-framework-core**: Fix observability spans not being correctly
nested when using streaming
([#​5552](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5552))
- **agent-framework-openai**: Fix `file_search` citations breaking the
assistant-message history roundtrip — skip `hosted_file` content in the
assistant role so the Responses API no longer rejects `input_file`
([#​5557](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5557))

**Full Changelog**:
https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/compare/python-1.2.1...python-1.2.2

## 1.2.1

## [1.2.1] - 2026-04-28

### Added
- **agent-framework-foundry-hosting**: Add file data type support to
hosted-agent Responses, refresh `foundry-hosted-agents` samples, and add
response test coverage
([#​5485](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5485))
- **samples**: Add `requirements.txt` and `.env.example` to the `a2a/`
hosting sample for pip-based setup
([#​5510](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5510))

## 1.0.1

## 1.0.1 - 2026-04-09

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Security hardening for `FileCheckpointStorage`:** Checkpoint
deserialization now flows through a restricted unpickler by default,
which only permits a built-in set of safe Python types and all
`agent_framework` framework types. If your application stores custom
types in checkpoints, pass their `"module:qualname"` identifiers via the
new `allowed_checkpoint_types` constructor parameter — otherwise loads
will raise `WorkflowCheckpointException`. See [Security
Considerations](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/agent-framework/workflows/checkpoints?pivots=programming-language-python#security-considerations)
for details and the opt-in format.

## 1.2.2

## [1.2.2] - 2026-04-29

### Added
- **agent-framework-azure-contentunderstanding**: New alpha package —
Azure AI Content Understanding context provider that auto-analyzes file
attachments (documents, images, audio, video) and injects structured
results into the LLM context, with multi-document session state,
configurable timeout, output filtering via `AnalysisSection`, and
auto-registered `list_documents` / `get_analyzed_document` tools
([#​4829](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/4829))
- **agent-framework-foundry-hosting**: Add hosted Durable Workflow
support — propagate full conversation history to workflow agents and
wire `Workflow.as_agent()` end-to-end via the foundry hosting layer
([#​5531](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5531))

### Changed
- **agent-framework-orchestrations**: [BREAKING] Standardize
orchestration terminal outputs as `AgentResponse` so
`Workflow.as_agent()` returns the final answer only; aligns
sequential-approval (`with_request_info`) and concurrent
(`intermediate_outputs=True`) flows on the same output contract
([#​5301](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5301))
- **agent-framework-core**, **agent-framework-declarative**: Preserve
`Workflow.run()` shared state across calls so multi-turn `WorkflowAgent`
invocations retain context, accept `list[Message]` input in the
declarative start executor, and coerce `Enum` values when serializing
PowerFx symbols
([#​5531](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5531))
- **dependencies**: Update workspace package dependencies and preserve
`mcp[ws]` / `uvicorn[standard]` extras through override-dependencies in
`/python`
([#​5555](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5555))

### Fixed
- **agent-framework-core**: Fix observability spans not being correctly
nested when using streaming
([#​5552](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5552))
- **agent-framework-openai**: Fix `file_search` citations breaking the
assistant-message history roundtrip — skip `hosted_file` content in the
assistant role so the Responses API no longer rejects `input_file`
([#​5557](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5557))

**Full Changelog**:
https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/compare/python-1.2.1...python-1.2.2

## 1.2.1

## [1.2.1] - 2026-04-28

### Added
- **agent-framework-foundry-hosting**: Add file data type support to
hosted-agent Responses, refresh `foundry-hosted-agents` samples, and add
response test coverage
([#​5485](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5485))
- **samples**: Add `requirements.txt` and `.env.example` to the `a2a/`
hosting sample for pip-based setup
([#​5510](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5510))

### Changed

`AsyncOpenAI` for `/openai/v1` endpoints
([#​5137](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5137))
- **agent-framework-openai**: Exclude null `file_id` from `input_image`
payload to prevent schema 400 errors
([#​5125](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5125))
- **agent-framework-foundry**: Reconcile Toolbox hosted-tool payloads
with the Responses API
([#​5414](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5414))
- **agent-framework-ag-ui**: Pass client `thread_id` as `session_id`
when constructing `AgentSession`
([#​5384](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5384))
- **agent-framework-hyperlight**: Thread-confine `WasmSandbox`
interactions via per-entry `ThreadPoolExecutor` to eliminate the PyO3
`unsendable` panic when touched from asyncio worker threads
([#​5424](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/pull/5424))
