Foundry Toolkit + Foundry Hosted Agents Workshop

This workshop walks through building AI agents that deploy to Microsoft Foundry Agent Service as Hosted Agents, a feature in preview with limited region availability. Each lab's starter code is automatically scaffolded by the Microsoft Foundry VS Code extension into an agent folder that the learner then customizes, tests locally with an Agent Inspector, and deploys as a Docker image pushed to Azure Container Registry, verifying the result in Foundry's Playground.

The first lab builds an agent that explains a topic at a level suited to an executive audience, with further labs building on that base toward multi-agent pipelines. The repository is translated into more than fifty languages through an automated GitHub Action, and documents a sparse-checkout clone command for skipping the translation files to reduce download size.

It is written in Python and licensed under MIT.
