ghcp-hosted-agents

ghcp-hosted-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiappsgbb/awesome-gbb. It costs 166 tokens per session (10,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deployment guide for hosted Azure AI Foundry agents built with the GitHub Copilot SDK and your own model credentials. It uses the Invocations protocol and server-sent events, a way to stream results progressively while the agent works.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to deploy Foundry hosted agents with streaming output, progressive skill discovery, long tool loops, BYOK authentication, and the unified Azure deployment format.
Why use it?
It addresses long tool-running sessions and gateway time limits, while avoiding the need for a GitHub token. It also documents the permissions needed for real model calls.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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

ghcp-hosted-agents scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (references/container.py, references/invoke_agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

GHCP SDK Hosted Agents on Foundry

Deploy Foundry hosted agents using the GitHub Copilot SDK with BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) authentication. No GITHUB_TOKEN required. Uses the Invocations protocol (GA, version 2.0.0) with SSE streaming for unlimited tool-loop duration.

GA migration (v2.0.0). This skill now uses the unified single-file azure.yaml deploy shape shared with foundry-hosted-agents — the old two-file agent.yaml + separately-wired azure.yaml contract, the remote-build/manual services: wiring, and the tenant-ID-env deploy hook are all retired. See § "azure.yaml (unified GA deployment)" and § "Identity & RBAC for hosted agents" below.

RBAC correction (v2.0.9). Real model inference requires granting the hosted-agent instance identity the Foundry User role at BOTH the Foundry account and project scopes before invoking. The earlier "no agent role assignment needed" claim was validated only against an upstream echo agent that never called a real model, so it silently returned HTTP 401 on live inference. See § "Identity & RBAC for hosted agents".

When to Use GHCP SDK Instead of MAF

Consideration MAF GHCP SDK
Auth DefaultAzureCredentialFoundryChatClient BYOK: DefaultAzureCredential → bearer token
Protocol Responses API (request/response) Invocations (SSE streaming)
Tool loop limit ~120s (Foundry gateway timeout) ♾️ (SSE keeps connection alive)
Per-query overhead Low (1-3 internal turns) High (20-34 internal tool calls per query)
Skill discovery SkillsProvider.from_paths() (recommended) OR inline concat (legacy) SkillsProvider (default)
Custom tools @tool decorator Not supported (use MCP servers instead)
Toolbox MCPStreamableHTTPTool (was client.get_toolbox(), removed 1.3.0) Not directly available
Maturity Production-proven Validated (identical eval scores)

Changes

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.
