Design and architect AI agents on Azure AI Foundry -- lifecycle planning, model selection strategy, evaluation frameworks, guardrail design, and deployment patterns. Use when designing agent architecture on Foundry, choosing models, planning evaluation strategy, or defining guardrails. For step-by-step operational workflows (create, deploy, invoke, trace, troubleshoot), install the Azure MCP Extension (ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-mcp-server), which also brings in the Azure Skills plugin and…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Azure AI Foundry

> **Companion Extension**: For detailed operational playbooks (create agents,
> deploy containers, invoke endpoints, trace with App Insights, troubleshoot),
> install **Azure MCP Extension** (`ms-azuretools.vscode-azure-mcp-server`).
> In VS Code it also wires in the Azure Skills plugin from `microsoft/azure-skills`
> plus Foundry MCP. Frontier recommends it when Azure files are detected and the
> installer can add it automatically for Azure-oriented workspaces.

## When to Use This Skill

- **Designing** agent architecture on Azure Foundry or Azure AI Agent Service
- **Selecting** models via GitHub Models or Azure AI model catalog (cost/quality tradeoffs)
- **Planning** evaluation strategy with Foundry evals (RAGAS, LLM-as-judge)
- **Defining** guardrails, safety instructions, and content filtering policies
- **Choosing** deployment patterns (managed endpoint vs AKS vs serverless)

## Agent Lifecycle

```
Design -> Build -> Evaluate -> Deploy -> Monitor -> Iterate
```

1. **Design** - Define agent capabilities, tool schemas, system prompts
2. **Build** - Implement with Azure AI Agent Service or Semantic Kernel

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/azure-foundry@sha256:f55940778fda7e30

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.f17c505, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
