What problem does it solve?
Deploying Microsoft Foundry hosted agents reliably—while navigating identity wiring, SDK version changes, ACR image/version pitfalls, and production evaluation failures—can be slow and error-prone.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hosted-agent deployment lifecycle: Deploy, evaluate, and manage Foundry hosted agents on the refreshed May 2026 preview with the specific MAF Agent framework variant.
- Identity and RBAC guidance: Configure
agent.yaml/azure.yaml, set the correct Foundry user role, and handle token audience changes that otherwise cause 401/unauthorized failures.
- Production-ready troubleshooting and migration notes: Cover breaking changes (e.g., MAF 1.4.0→1.6.0), telemetry behavior, MCP tool patterns, and gotchas like Foundry
create_version deduplication and ACR caching traps.
Quick Start
Use the foundry-hosted-agents skill to deploy a container-based hosted agent on Foundry that uses FoundryChatClient with ResponsesHostServer and follows the MAF 1.6.0 upgrade and identity rules.
