agent-framework-azure-ai-pyBuild Azure AI Foundry agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework Python SDK (agent-framework-azure-ai).
Agent Framework Azure AI Py is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build Azure AI Foundry agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework Python SDK (agent-framework-azure-ai). Use when creating persistent agents with AzureAIAgentsProvider, using hosted tools (code interpreter, file search, web search), integrating MCP servers, managing conversation threads, or implementing streaming responses. Covers function tools, structured outputs, and multi-tool agents.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced.md`, `references/mcp.md` and `references/threads.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents, Structured output and tool calling and LLM API integration. It works with Microsoft Azure, Azure AI Foundry, Python and Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 354361d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
learn.microsoft.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALSFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Agent Framework Azure AI Py loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 343 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
The full file from microsoft/skills at commit 354361d, republished under its MIT licence (© microsoft). 343 words, ~3,068 tokens.

pip install agent-framework --pre

- Prefer
DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
- Local dev:
DefaultAzureCredentialworks as-is.- Production: set
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod(orAZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.- Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
- Sync:
with <Client>(...) as client:- Async:
async with <Client>(...) as client:andasync with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:(fromazure.identity.aio)Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.

Build Azure AI Foundry agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework Python SDK (agent-framework-azure-ai). Agent Framework Azure AI Py is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build Azure AI Foundry agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework Python SDK (agent-framework-azure-ai).
Agent Framework Azure AI Py fits situations like: creating persistent agents with AzureAIAgentsProvider; using hosted tools (code interpreter; integrating MCP servers; managing conversation threads.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill agent-framework-azure-ai-py -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-python/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill agent-framework-azure-ai-py -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-python/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill agent-framework-azure-ai-py -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py, .gemini/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py, .github/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py and .opencode/skills/agent-framework-azure-ai-py in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Agent Framework Azure AI Py needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip) and credentials named AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: learn.microsoft.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Agent Framework Azure AI Py is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 9.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
