Foundry Agent Sync

Overview

Create and synchronize prompt-based AI agents directly within Azure AI Foundry via the Agent Service REST API. This skill registers agents in the Foundry service itself — making them immediately available for invocation, evaluation, and management through the Foundry portal or API. Each agent is created or updated idempotently via a named POST call, using definitions from a local JSON manifest file.

Key distinction: This skill creates agents inside AI Foundry (server-side). It does not scaffold local agent code or container images — for that, use the microsoft-foundry skill's create sub-skill.

Prerequisites

The user must have:

1. An Azure AI Foundry project with a deployed model (e.g. gpt-5-4)
2. Azure CLI (az) authenticated with access to the Foundry project
3. The Azure AI User role (or higher) on the Foundry project resource

Collect these values before proceeding:
