Agent AI Foundry – Azure Function Wrapper

Azure Function wrapper serving Agent AI Foundry agents.

🔧 Prerequisites

You need to create your agent using the Agent AI Foundry Agent Service. To create an agent via SDK or integrate it with a tool, check the tool use patterns in agent-ai-foundry-tool-use

🔧 Background

The link only supports single-turn conversations and does not handle threaded interactions. The functions provide two endpoints: one for creating a chat and another for continuing a conversation with an agent using a thread ID.

💡 Integrate Custom Azure AI Agents with CoPilot Studio and M365 CoPilot

📦 Deployment

Use the Azure Functions Core Tools to publish your Python function app:

func azure functionapp publish <your-func-app-name> --python

---

💡Azure Function App: Tips for configuration

Tips for environments that don’t allow using access keys to authenticate to the storage account (AzureWebJobsStorage)

1. Deployment Commands

Publish to Azure Function App

func azure functionapp publish <your-func-app-name> --python

Package as a Zip File

func pack --output functionapp.zip

Note: The Flex Consumption plan doesn't support zip deployment. See the Azure Functions storage considerations for more details on creating an app without Azure Files.

2. Environment Variables for Managed Identity

To use Managed Identity for accessing the storage account without an access key, follow these steps:

Option 1. Configure Managed Identity in Azure Portal

1. Navigate to the Authentication tab during Create Function App in the Azure Portal.
2. Select Managed Identity and System-assigned managed identity.

Option 2. Manually Set Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables for your Azure Function App:

• AzureWebJobsStorage__blobServiceUri: https://<your-storage-account-name>.blob.core.windows.net
• AzureWebJobsStorage__credential: managedidentity
• AzureWebJobsStorage__queueServiceUri: https://<your-storage-account-name>.queue.core.windows.net
• AzureWebJobsStorage__tableServiceUri: https://<your-storage-account-name>.table.core.windows.net
