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

Hosted_Agents_Workshop_dotNET AGENTS.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 2mo 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.

Repository Purpose

This repo is a beginner workshop for Microsoft Foundry hosted agents with .NET 10.

Primary learning flow:

  1. Local hosted agent setup and validation
  2. Copilot customization
  3. Deterministic tool implementation and tests
  4. CI validation
  5. Azure deployment flow
  6. UI integration and screenshot capture

General Rules

  • Keep instructions beginner-friendly and copy-paste ready.
  • Prefer placeholder values in docs over real subscription, tenant, endpoint, or registry identifiers.
  • Keep examples safe for public sharing.
  • Preserve the current lab sequence and avoid reordering labs without a clear reason.

Documentation Rules

  • Use short sections and simple language.
  • Include expected results for each lab step.
  • For any command that depends on user environment, show placeholders:
    • <account>
    • <project>
    • <your-acr-name>
  • If screenshots are referenced, ensure the files exist in labs/lab-5-ui/images.

Code and Build Rules

  • Target framework is .NET 10.
  • Keep deterministic business logic in src/WorkshopLab.Core.
  • Keep hosted agent host behavior in src/WorkshopLab.AgentHost.
  • Run tests when changing core logic:
dotnet test WorkshopLab.sln

UI Screenshot Workflow

When UI images need refresh for docs:

  1. Start the app:
dotnet run --project src/WorkshopLab.ChatUI --urls http://localhost:5075
  1. In another terminal, run screenshot capture:
npm run capture:screenshots

Expected outputs:

  • labs/lab-5-ui/images/01-chat-ui-landing.png
  • labs/lab-5-ui/images/02-chat-ui-prompt-entered.png
  • labs/lab-5-ui/images/03-chat-ui-response-hd.png

Public Sharing Checklist

Before publishing updates:

  • No hardcoded personal tenant IDs, subscription IDs, or project endpoints
  • No hardcoded personal ACR names
  • .gitignore includes local-only artifacts (for example node_modules/, local logs, debug outputs)
  • Beginner docs still read top-to-bottom without hidden assumptions

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.
