Microsoft Foundry Skill

This skill helps developers work with Microsoft Foundry resources, covering model discovery and deployment, complete dev lifecycle of AI agent, evaluation workflows, and troubleshooting.

Sub-Skills

MANDATORY: Before executing ANY workflow, you MUST read the corresponding sub-skill document. Do not call MCP tools for a workflow without reading its skill document. This applies even if you already know the MCP tool parameters — the skill document contains required workflow steps, pre-checks, and validation logic that must be followed. This rule applies on every new user message that triggers a different workflow, even if the skill is already loaded.

This skill includes specialized sub-skills for specific workflows. Use these instead of the main skill when they match your task:

Sub-Skill	When to Use	Reference
deploy	Containerize, build, push to ACR, create/update/start/stop/clone agent deployments	deploy
invoke	Send messages to an agent, single or multi-turn conversations	invoke
troubleshoot	View container logs, query telemetry, diagnose failures	troubleshoot
create/agent-framework	Create agents and workflows using Microsoft Agent Framework SDK. Supports single-agent and multi-agent workflow patterns with HTTP server and F5/debug support.	create/agent-framework
project/create	Creating a new Azure AI Foundry project for hosting agents and models. Use when onboarding to Foundry or setting up new infrastructure.	project/create/create-foundry-project.md
resource/create	Creating Azure AI Services multi-service resource (Foundry resource) using Azure CLI. Use when manually provisioning AI Services resources with granular control.	resource/create/create-foundry-resource.md
models/deploy-model	Unified model deployment with intelligent routing. Handles quick preset deployments, fully customized deployments (version/SKU/capacity/RAI), and capacity discovery across regions. Routes to sub-skills: `preset` (quick deploy), `customize` (full control), `capacity` (find availability).	models/deploy-model/SKILL.md
quota	Managing quotas and capacity for Microsoft Foundry resources. Use when checking quota usage, troubleshooting deployment failures due to insufficient quota, requesting quota increases, or planning capacity.	quota/quota.md
rbac	Managing RBAC permissions, role assignments, managed identities, and service principals for Microsoft Foundry resources. Use for access control, auditing permissions, and CI/CD setup.	rbac/rbac.md

💡 Tip: For a complete onboarding flow:
project/create
→ agent workflows (
deploy
→
invoke
).

💡 Model Deployment: Use
models/deploy-model
for all deployment scenarios — it intelligently routes between quick preset deployment, customized deployment with full control, and capacity discovery across regions.

Agent Development Lifecycle

Match user intent to the correct workflow. Read each sub-skill in order before executing.

User Intent	Workflow (read in order)
Create a new agent from scratch	create/agent-framework → deploy → invoke
Deploy an agent (code already exists)	deploy → invoke
Update/redeploy an agent after code changes	deploy → invoke
Invoke/test/chat with an agent	invoke
Troubleshoot an agent issue	invoke → troubleshoot
Fix a broken agent (troubleshoot + redeploy)	invoke → troubleshoot → apply fixes → deploy → invoke
Start/stop agent container	deploy

Agent: Project Context Resolution

Agent skills should run this step only when they need configuration values they don't already have. If a value (e.g., project endpoint, agent name) is already known from the user's message or a previous skill in the same session, skip resolution for that value.

Step 1: Detect azd Project

If any required configuration value is missing, check if

azure.yaml

exists in the project root (workspace root or user-specified project path). If found, run

azd env get-values

to load environment variables.

Step 2: Resolve Common Configuration

Match missing values against the azd environment:

azd Variable Resolves To Used By

AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT

AZURE_AIPROJECT_ENDPOINT

Project endpoint

deploy, invoke, troubleshoot

AZURE_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_NAME

AZURE_CONTAINER_REGISTRY_ENDPOINT

ACR registry name / image URL prefix

deploy

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID

Azure subscription

troubleshoot

Step 3: Collect Missing Values

Use the

ask_user

askQuestions

tool only for values not resolved from the user's message, session context, or azd environment. Common values skills may need:

Project endpoint — AI Foundry project endpoint URL
Agent name — Name of the target agent

💡 Tip: If the user provides a project endpoint or agent name in their initial message, extract it directly — do not ask again.

Agent: Agent Types

All agent skills support two agent types:

Type	Kind	Description
Prompt	`"prompt"`	LLM-based agents backed by a model deployment
Hosted	`"hosted"`	Container-based agents running custom code

Use

agent_get

MCP tool to determine an agent's type when needed.

Tool Usage Conventions

Use the
```
ask_user
```
or
```
askQuestions
```
tool whenever collecting information from the user
Use the
```
task
```
or
```
runSubagent
```
tool to delegate long-running or independent sub-tasks (e.g., env var scanning, status polling, Dockerfile generation)
Prefer Azure MCP tools over direct CLI commands when available
Reference official Microsoft documentation URLs instead of embedding CLI command syntax
