Compatibility and maintenance

Compatibility alias of hosted-agents-v2-py; use that ID for new references when no existing contract requires this one. The instruction-only procedure remains local; no executable support files are bundled so existing installations continue to work offline. This compatibility guide documents the hosted-agent procedure, not an additional capability; older copies may use retired preview names. Preserve the callable ID when an existing manifest or client configuration uses it. Modified in AAS on 2026-09-05; original metadata and license notices are retained.

Azure AI Hosted Agents (Python)

Build container-based hosted agents using HostedAgentDefinition from the Azure AI Projects SDK.

Installation

pip install 'azure-ai-projects==2.3.0' azure-identity

These are SDK 2.3.0 instruction fragments aligned with the current Microsoft hosted-agent guide. Validate the installed schema and service support before provisioning; documentation inspection is not a cloud integration test.
