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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.02131 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01066 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00426 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00213 |
Grade A, and why
foundry-agent-platform 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Foundry Agent Platform Skill
Deploy, orchestrate, and manage AI agents on Microsoft Foundry — the unified Azure PaaS for enterprise AI.
Staleness Watch: See
EXTERNAL-API-REGISTRY.mdfor source URLs and recheck cadence
Rapid Evolution Domain
Foundry is in active preview (February 2026). SDK versions change frequently.
Refresh triggers:
azure-ai-projectsSDK version bump (currently 2.0.0b3)- Foundry portal feature releases
- Hosted Agents GA
- Memory API changes
Last validated: February 2026
Platform Overview
Microsoft Foundry (formerly Azure AI Foundry) unifies model hosting, agent orchestration, tool management, observability, and multi-channel publishing.
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Portal | https://ai.azure.com |
| Endpoint | https://<resource>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<project> |
| MCP Server | https://mcp.ai.azure.com (cloud-hosted, Entra ID) |
| VS Code Extension | TeamsDevApp.vscode-ai-foundry |
| Key Distinction | Infrastructure platform (backend), not a surface |
Foundry vs Other Platforms
| Aspect | VS Code Extension | M365 Copilot | Foundry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | IDE plugin | Declarative agent | Cloud PaaS |
| Runtime | Desktop app | M365 cloud | Azure managed |
| Users | Single developer | Single user | Multi-user |
| Availability | When IDE open | When M365 open | Always-on (24/7) |
| Memory | File-based synapses | OneDrive | Platform-managed |
| Tools | MCP (manual config) | Web/SP/Graph | 1,400+ catalog |
| Agents | .agent.md files |
Single agent | Multi-agent fleet |
| Observability | Manual | None | Full OpenTelemetry |
Four SDK Types
This is the most common source of confusion. Foundry has four distinct SDK types, each with different endpoints and use cases:
| SDK | Endpoint | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Foundry SDK | .services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/ |
Agent management, evaluations, deployments |
| OpenAI SDK | .openai.azure.com/openai/v1 |
Chat completions, embeddings (OpenAI-compatible) |
| Foundry Tools SDKs | Service-specific | Speech, Vision, Language, Search, etc. |
| Agent Framework | Framework-specific | Multi-agent orchestration (cloud-agnostic) |
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.

foundry-agent-platform is a skill published in the GitHub repository fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 2,131 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
