🔹 Feature: Microsoft Foundry Toolboxes — Bundle AI Agent Tools Once, Use Them Everywhere
🔹 What It Does: Stop wiring every agent to every tool. A Toolbox is a named, reusable bundle of tools — defined once in Microsoft Foundry, centrally configured for authentication, and exposed through a single MCP-compatible endpoint any agent runtime can consume.
What It Is Giving You:
✅ Bundle Once, Consume Everywhere: Web Search, Code Interpreter, File Search, Azure AI Search, MCP servers, A2A, and OpenAPI — all published as a single reusable Toolbox.
✅ One MCP Endpoint Per Toolbox: Agents connect once and dynamically discover all tools. No per-tool wiring, no custom SDKs, no five different auth models.
✅ Centralized Auth: OAuth identity passthrough and Microsoft Entra managed identity configured in Foundry — individual agents never handle credentials.
✅ Foundry-Homed, Not Foundry-Bound: Use Toolboxes from Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, Copilot SDK, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, MCP-enabled IDEs, or your own code. No lock-in.
✅ Versioning Built In: Promote a tested version to “default,” keep iterating — consumers don’t change a line of code when you ship updates.
🚀 The Layer That Makes Agentic AI Scale Across an Enterprise.
