Agent365-python CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for the Microsoft Agent 365 Python SDK, a collection of Python packages for building agents that work with Microsoft 365, Teams, Copilot Studio, and Webchat. The packages are managed together in a monorepo, meaning several related packages share one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing dependencies, exploring package architecture, building the SDK, and following its documented development patterns.
Why use it?
They explain how to set up the Python environment, understand the package design, and run development commands across the workspace.

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-python 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 yesterday.

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.

Project Overview

Microsoft Agent 365 SDK for Python - Enterprise-grade extensions for building production-ready AI agents for M365, Teams, Copilot Studio, and Webchat. This is a multi-package monorepo organized as a uv workspace with 13 interdependent packages.

Python Version: 3.11+ (3.11 and 3.12 tested in CI)

For detailed architecture and design documentation, see docs/design.md, which includes:

  • Complete package descriptions and usage examples
  • Design patterns (Singleton, Context Manager, Builder, Result, Strategy)
  • Data flow diagrams for agent invocation tracing and MCP tool discovery
  • Configuration options and environment variables
  • Per-package design documents in libraries/<package-name>/docs/design.md

Development Commands

Setup

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies (locks and syncs all workspace packages)
uv lock && uv sync --locked --all-extras --dev

Building

# Build all packages (requires version environment variable)
export AGENT365_PYTHON_SDK_PACKAGE_VERSION="0.1.0"  # Windows: $env:AGENT365_PYTHON_SDK_PACKAGE_VERSION = "0.1.0"
uv build --all-packages --wheel

# Built wheels are output to dist/

Testing

# Run all unit tests (excludes integration tests)
uv run --frozen pytest tests/ -v --tb=short -m "not integration"

# Run specific test file
uv run --frozen pytest tests/runtime/test_environment_utils.py -v

# Run tests matching pattern
uv run --frozen pytest tests/ -k "environment" -v

# Run integration tests (requires secrets/environment variables)
uv run --frozen pytest -m integration -v --tb=short

# Run with coverage report
pytest tests/ --cov=libraries --cov-report=html -v

Test markers:

  • unit: Fast, mocked tests (default)
  • integration: Slow tests requiring real services/API keys

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.
