Agent Framework Azure Ai Py

This is a Python SDK wrapper for building persistent agents on Azure AI Foundry, giving you the full Microsoft Agent Framework with cloud-hosted state management. You get conversation threads that survive between sessions, built-in tools like code execution and Bing search, and proper async context managers for credential handling. The structured outputs with Pydantic validation are clean, and being able to pass Python functions directly as tools without manual schema wrangling is nice. It's overkill if you just need a one-off LLM call, but if you're building multi-turn agents that need to remember context across sessions or integrate with Azure's hosted tooling, this handles the persistence layer so you don't have to roll your own thread storage.
