Supporting material availability

This catalog copy contains the inline guidance below, but does not include the following supporting paths. They are external prerequisites, not bundled files:

• <support-root>/references/acceptance-criteria.md

Ask for the original supporting material or an existing installation before using a step that depends on these paths; this catalog does not identify a verified download source for them. Resolve each path relative to that installation, inspect its contents, and verify any applicable license and execution prerequisites. Do not run a command or claim a referenced procedure was followed until its required file exists. Do not fabricate the missing scripts or treat an unrelated file with the same name as equivalent. Independent steps fully documented here can proceed within the user’s authorized scope; report any dependent step as unavailable.

Microsoft 365 Agents SDK (Python)

Build enterprise agents for Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot Studio using the Microsoft Agents SDK with aiohttp hosting, AgentApplication routing, streaming responses, and MSAL-based authentication.

Before implementation

• Use the microsoft-docs MCP to verify the latest API signatures for AgentApplication, start_agent_process, and authentication options.
• Confirm package versions on PyPI for the microsoft-agents-* packages you plan to use.

Important Notice - Import Changes

⚠️ Breaking Change: Recent updates have changed the Python import structure from microsoft.agents to microsoft_agents (using underscores instead of dots).
