Skill instructions
Hosted agent deployment Guidance for taking an agent to production (Lessons 4–5). Guardrails (always apply) - Terminology: Hosted Agents, Capability Hosts, Microsoft Foundry Agent Service. - Deploy with the current SDK/Responses API; models gpt-5.1 (chat) / gpt-5-codex (coding). - Config and secrets via .env / managed identity — never hardcode endpoints or keys. The key distinction (teach this clearly) - Hosted Agents provide the Microsoft-managed execution environment: compute, scaling, identity, observability and session management. You do not need a Capability Host just to run a Hosted Agent. - Capability Hosts are only required when you want Agent Service to use customer-owned resources instead of Microsoft-managed storage. - Happy with default Microsoft-managed storage, vector search and conversation persistence? No Capability Host configuration is required. - Need data sovereignty, private networking, compliance controls, or storage in your own Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Storage Acco
