Add Foundry Toolbox Autopilot sample

[Tom Wagner (thwagne)]

Summary

• Add a Python Foundry Autopilot sample for Teams direct messages, group chats, and mentioned channel conversations, hosted with ActivityAgentServerHost and Microsoft Agent Framework.
• Use one Foundry Toolbox to combine three anonymous Microsoft Learn tools with native Bing-backed web_search, with managed identity for hosted access rather than human credentials.
• Include direct-code deployment configuration, create-or-reuse Bicep infrastructure, guided provisioning, and agent publication metadata.
• Provide a capability-first setup guide building only on Hello World, explain the value of Microsoft Agent Framework for tool handling, and include three Teams demo questions covering documentation, current web information, and combined answers with source links.

Validation

• 32 SDK integration and CLI tests passed.
• Dependency consistency (pip check) passed; wheel and source distribution builds passed.
• Bicep, configuration/schema, documentation links/anchors, PowerShell snippets, and whitespace checks passed.
• A direct live native web-search call against an existing Toolbox returned source citations.

The sample has not been deployed and exercised end-to-end in Teams; the live check above was a direct tool probe, not a Teams deployment test.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Hosted identity permissions and the complete deployment, publication, and Teams flow still require human end-to-end validation.

Hosted deployment, managed-identity access, and end-to-end Teams behavior remain unverified and require human validation.
