Microsoft Foundry
Manage Microsoft Foundry resources across the complete AI agent lifecycle, including model discovery, deployment, evaluation, and troubleshooting.
Sub-Skills
The skill organizes workflows into specialized sub-skills:
| Sub-skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| deploy | Containerization, ACR push, agent lifecycle management |
| invoke | Single and multi-turn agent conversations |
| observe | Quality evaluation, batch testing, prompt optimization |
| trace | Latency analysis and failure correlation |
| troubleshoot | Diagnostics via container logs and telemetry |
| create | New hosted agent scaffolding from starter samples |
| eval-datasets | Production trace harvesting and metric tracking |
| project/create | Infrastructure provisioning |
| resource/create | Resource provisioning |
| models/deploy-model | Unified model deployment with intelligent routing |
| quota | Resource quota management |
| rbac | Access control management |
Workflow Navigation
The skill matches user intent to the appropriate workflow:
- New agent: create → deploy → invoke
- Agent optimization: observe (with prompt optimization)
- Troubleshooting: invoke → troubleshoot → redeploy
Supported Agent Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Prompt agents | LLM-backed deployments |
| Hosted agents | Custom container-based implementations |
Metadata & Configuration
Agents use .foundry/agent-metadata.yaml as the configuration source of truth, storing:
- Environment-specific settings
- Project endpoints
- Registry details
- Test case bundles
Configuration resolution priority:
- Explicit user input
- Session context
- Metadata defaults
- Prompt for missing values
Best Practices
The skill reads relevant sub-skill documents before executing workflows to ensure proper validation and pre-checks are applied.
