SimpleAgent
A generic, agent-agnostic chat REPL for any hosted Foundry agent. Point it at a running
Hosted-* agent via AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME, and it builds a FoundryAgent against that agent's
per-agent OpenAI endpoint and streams replies. This is the shared client that Hosted-Toolbox,
Hosted-Toolbox-AuthPaths, and Hosted-McpTools reference for their end-to-end demos.
It knows nothing about the agent's tools, toolboxes, files, or auth — those are entirely the
server's concern. Changing which agent you chat with is just a different AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME.
See ../README.md for why these client REPLs exist at all.
Prerequisites
- .NET 10 SDK
- A running hosted agent (any
Hosted-*sample, locally viadotnet runor deployed to Foundry) - Azure CLI logged in (
az login)
Configuration
FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://<host>/api/projects/<project>
AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME=<registered-server-side-agent-name>
Both are required. FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT is the Foundry project endpoint URL and
AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME is the registered server-side agent name. The sample builds the per-agent
OpenAI endpoint URL ({FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT}/agents/{AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME}/endpoint/protocols/openai)
from these.
Run
Against a local Hosted-Toolbox agent listening on http://localhost:8088:
cd dotnet/samples/04-hosting/FoundryHostedAgents/responses/Using-Samples/SimpleAgent
$env:FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:8088/api/projects/local"
$env:AZURE_AI_AGENT_NAME = "hosted-toolbox-agent"
dotnet run
When the project endpoint is http://, the client presents it as https:// to satisfy the
bearer-token TLS check, then rewrites the scheme back to http:// right before transport
(local-development only).
End-to-end demo
With a hosted agent running:
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Simple Agent Sample
Connected to: https://localhost:8088/api/projects/local/agents/hosted-toolbox-agent/endpoint/protocols/openai
Type a message or 'quit' to exit
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
You> What tools do you have available, and what can they do?
Agent> I have the following tools from the toolbox: ...
You> quit
Goodbye!
The client only sent a chat prompt; the agent resolved its toolbox tools server-side and answered.
