CodeAct context providers

Demonstrates the provider-owned CodeAct flow with two backends:

File	Backend	Notes
code_act.py	Hyperlight WASM sandbox via HyperlightCodeActProvider	Hardened sandbox with WASM isolation; sandbox tools called via call_tool(...).
monty_code_act.py	Monty Rust-based Python interpreter via MontyCodeActProvider (alpha)	Cross-platform pure interpreter; sandbox tools can be called as typed async functions (await compute(...)) or via call_tool(...).

Both providers inject an execute_code tool into the agent and keep the registered sandbox tools (compute, fetch_data) hidden from the model — the model invokes them from inside the sandbox.

Installation

pip install agent-framework agent-framework-hyperlight --pre   # Hyperlight sample
pip install agent-framework agent-framework-monty --pre        # Monty sample

The Hyperlight Wasm backend is currently published only for linux/x86_64 and win32/AMD64 with Python <3.14. On other platforms execute_code will fail at runtime when it tries to create the sandbox.

Monty is cross-platform and has no hypervisor/WASM backend dependency, but it interprets a Python subset (e.g. os/network/subprocess access is blocked). agent-framework-monty is an alpha package and is not yet part of agent-framework[all]; install it explicitly with --pre.

Prerequisites

• An Azure AI Foundry project endpoint (FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT)
• A deployed model (FOUNDRY_MODEL)
• Azure CLI authenticated (az login)

Run

python code_act.py        # Hyperlight
python monty_code_act.py  # Monty
