AI Foundry Agent Services

The Foundry Agent Service offers a fully managed cloud service with SDKs for Python, C#, and TypeScript. The Foundry SDKs simplify AI agent development, reducing complex tasks like tool calling MCP Server tools with just a few lines of code.

The Azure AI Foundry Agent Service offers several advantages over traditional agent platforms:

  • Rapid Deployment: Optimized SDK for fast deployment, letting developers focus on building agents.
  • Scalability: Designed to handle varying user loads without performance issues.
  • Custom Integrations: Supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for robust tool integration and external data access.
  • Built-in Tools: Includes Fabric, SharePoint, Azure AI Search, and Azure Storage for quick development.
  • RAG-Style Search: Features a built-in vector store for efficient file and semantic search.
  • Conversation State Management: Maintains context across multiple interactions.
  • AI Model Compatibility: Works with various AI models.

AI Agent Frameworks

Popular agent frameworks include LangChain, Semantic Kernel, and CrewAI. What distinguishes the Foundry Agent Service is its seamless integration capabilities and an SDK optimized for rapid deployment. In complex multi-agent scenarios, solutions will combine SDKs like Semantic Kernel and AutoGen with the Foundry Agent Service to build robust and scalable systems.
