USE FOR: azd ai agent, azd provision/deploy, deploy agent, hosted agent, create agent, add tool to agent, invoke agent, evaluate agent, continuous eval, continuous monitoring, optimize prompt, improve prompt, optimize agent instructions, agent optimizer, deploy model, Foundry project, RBAC, role assignment, permissions, quota, capacity, region, troubleshoot agent, deployment failure, AI Services, create Foundry resource, provision, knowledge index, customize deployment, onboard, availability, fine-tune, SFT, DPO, RFT, training-data, grader, distillation, fine-tuned model, large file upload. DO NOT USE FOR: Azure Functions, App Service, general Azure deploy (use azure-deploy), general Azure prep (use azure-prepare).

What this skill does
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. Pre-Execution Requirements Before using Foundry MCP operations, call the Azure MCP foundry tool and inspect the available Foundry MCP tools and related parameters. Treat this as the discovery/help step for MCP-based workflows. Sub-Skills MANDATORY: Before executing ANY workflow-specific steps, you MUST read the corresponding sub-skill document. Do not call workflow-specific 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 Deploy hosted agents to Foundry, smoke-test a deployment, create or update prompt agents, and manage agent versions and multi-environment deploys. deploy invoke Send messages to an agent, single or multi-turn conversations invoke routine Schedule or event-trigger Foundry agents with routines; use azd for CRUD, enable/disable, manual dispatch, and viewing past runs, or define routines in azure.yaml. routine invocations-ws Build, deploy, and connect to hosted agents that speak the invocationsws duplex WebSocket protocol — voice agents, real-time streams, and signaling for out-of-band media transports. …
