Agent365-dotnet CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for the Microsoft Agent 365 .NET SDK, a set of .NET packages for building Microsoft 365 agents. They document commands for building, testing, packaging, and managing shared package versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building the full SDK, running all or selected tests, creating NuGet packages, and adding dependencies through the central package configuration.
Why use it?
They provide the standard build and test commands and prevent inconsistent dependency versions or missing copyright headers.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Agent365-dotnet CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Build Commands

Basic Build Operations

# Build the entire solution
dotnet build src/Microsoft.Agents.A365.Sdk.sln

# Build using PowerShell script (recommended)
./build/build.ps1

# Full clean rebuild
./build/build.ps1 -Clean -Restore

# Build with tests
./build/build.ps1 -Test

# Build with NuGet packaging
./build/build.ps1 -Pack

# Debug build with tests
./build/build.ps1 -Configuration Debug -Test

Testing

# Run all tests
dotnet test src/Microsoft.Agents.A365.Sdk.sln

# Run tests using build script
./build/build.ps1 -Test

# Run tests for a specific project
dotnet test src/Tests/Runtime.Tests/Microsoft.Agents.A365.Runtime.Tests.csproj

Package Management

  • All package versions are centralized in src/Directory.Packages.props
  • To add a new package: add the version to Directory.Packages.props, then reference without version in the .csproj
  • Never specify versions directly in project files

Code Standards

Copyright Headers

Every C# file must include this header at the top:

// Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
// Licensed under the MIT License.

Exceptions:

  • Auto-generated files (.g.cs, .designer.cs, files with <auto-generated> markers)
  • Files in bin/, obj/ directories
  • Third-party or vendored code

Legacy References

  • Never use the keyword "Kairo" in any code - this is legacy terminology that must be replaced

Observability Export Configuration — Coordinated Review Required

The following three constants must stay in sync. If a PR changes any one of them, the reviewer (human or Copilot) must ask the author to confirm the other two are still correct:

Constant Location
ProdObservabilityScope src/Observability/Runtime/Common/EnvironmentUtils.cs (accessed via GetObservabilityAuthenticationScope())
DefaultEndpointHost src/Observability/Runtime/Tracing/Exporters/Agent365ExporterOptions.cs
Export URL path pattern BuildEndpointPath() in src/Observability/Runtime/Tracing/Exporters/Agent365ExporterCore.cs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
