Validate a Foundry Hosted Agent

Review one Microsoft Foundry hosted agent against deployment, security, reliability, observability, evaluation, and agent-design best practices without changing the agent or its Azure resources.

⚠️ Important: This sub-skill is strictly read-only. Never provision or deploy, run the application or agent, or create, update, or delete any Azure resource.

When to Use This Skill

Use this sub-skill only when the user explicitly asks to:

• Validate whether Microsoft Foundry hosted-agent code meets Microsoft Foundry best practices.
• Explicitly use this validation sub-skill.

Do not invoke this sub-skill proactively during agent creation, deployment, invocation, troubleshooting, optimization, or a general code review.

Hosted Agent Validation Workflow

Step 1: Resolve the Agent Path

1. If the user provided a hosted-agent path, validate that path.
2. Otherwise, validate whether the current directory is a Microsoft Foundry hosted-agent path.
3. A valid path must identify a hosted agent configured with host: azure.ai.agent in azure.yaml.
4. If neither path is valid, ask the user to provide the Microsoft Foundry hosted-agent path. Do not search other directories.

Step 2: Load and Validate Rules

1. Select exactly one rules file:
   • If the prompt provides agent-validation-rules.yaml, use it.
