Agent with Tools

AzureAIFoundry uses the retired azure-ai-inference SDK. Microsoft retired this SDK on May 30, 2026 and directs model inference to the OpenAI SDK. Use this page only for a classic deployment while you follow Microsoft’s Foundry migration guide.

Code

tool_use.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.azure import AzureAIFoundry
from agno.tools.websearch import WebSearchTools

agent = Agent(
    model=AzureAIFoundry(id="Cohere-command-a"),
    tools=[WebSearchTools()],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("What is currently happening in France?", stream=True)

Usage

export AZURE_ENDPOINT=xxx
