+# 🤖 Foundry A365 Agent Example
+
+> A minimal example of deploying a Foundry A365 agent with Azure Developer CLI
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Prerequisites
+
+**Note:** You must be enrolled in the [Frontier preview program](https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/frontier-program/) to publish a Foundry agent to Microsoft Agent 365.
+
+Ensure you have the following installed:
+
+| Requirement | Description |
+|-------------|-------------|
+| [Azure Developer CLI](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/developer/azure-developer-cli/install-azd) | Infrastructure deployment tool |
+| [Python 3.11+](https://www.python.org/downloads/) | Agent runtime (built and packaged inside the Docker image) |
+| [Docker](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) | Required for the local ACR build step (or use `az acr build` directly) |
+
+### 🔐 Required Permissions
+
+- **Owner** role on the Azure subscription
+- **Azure AI User** or **Cognitive Services User** role at subscription or resource group level
+- **Tenant Admin** role for organization-wide configuration
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Step 1: Authenticate
+
+Login to your Azure tenant and authenticate with Azure Developer CLI. Depending on your tenant's security settings, `az login` alone may be sufficient, or you may need to additionally sign in for the specific scopes used by the deployment scripts.
+
+```powershell
+# Login to Azure CLI
+az login
+
+# Login to Azure Developer CLI
+azd auth login
+```
+
+### Step 2: Deploy Everything
+
+> **📍 Region availability:** This sample uses [Foundry hosted agents](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/agents/quickstarts/quickstart-hosted-agent?pivots=azd). Your Foundry account and other resources must be in a region where hosted agents are available. At the time of writing, supported regions are:
+>
+> Australia East, Brazil South, Canada Central, Canada East, East US, East US 2, France Central, Germany West Central, Italy North, Japan East, Korea Central, North Central US, Norway East, Poland Central, South Africa North, South Central US, South India, Southeast Asia, Spain Central, Sweden Central, Switzerland North, UAE North, UK South, West Central US, West US, West US 3.
+
+#### Optional: Customize Your Agent
+
+Before deploying, you can customize:
+- **Agent instructions:** [agent.py](./src/hello_world_a365_agent/agent.py) (the `AGENT_PROMPT` constant on `FoundryDigitalWorkerAgent`)
+- **MCP tools:** [ToolingManifest.json](./src/hello_world_a365_agent/ToolingManifest.json) - [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-agent-365/tooling-servers-overview)
+
+#### Deploy
+
+Ensure Docker is running, then execute:
+
+```powershell
+azd provision
+```
+
+After deployment completes, retrieve your resource values:
+
+```powershell
+azd env get-values
+```
+
+> **📌 What to expect after deployment:**  
+> After `azd provision` completes successfully, you will see the **AgentIdentityBlueprint** in the Agents registry. You will **not** see any agents in the requests tab yet. This is expected behavior - you must first approve the agent blueprint, configure it in Teams Developer Portal, and then create agent instances based on that blueprint.
+
+### Step 3: Approve the Agent Blueprint
+
+**Important:** The first step is to approve the **agent blueprint** itself. Agent instances will be created later in Step 5.
+
+1. Navigate to the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://admin.cloud.microsoft/?#/agents/all/requested)
+2. Under **Requests**, locate your **agent blueprint**:
+   ![Find your agent blueprint in A365](image.png)
+
+3. Click the **Approve request and activate** button to approve the blueprint:
+   ![Screenshot of the agent blueprint approval dialog with the 'Approve request and activate' button highlighted](image-1.png)
+
+### Step 4: Configure Teams Integration
+
+After approving the agent blueprint, configure it in the Teams Developer Portal:
+
+1. Open the [Teams Developer Portal](https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/tools/agent-blueprint) and locate your approved agent blueprint
+    
+   **Note:** Only 100 Agent Blueprints are displayed. If yours isn't visible, click any blueprint to open its details page, then in the browser's address bar replace the blueprint ID portion of the URL with your own Blueprint ID from the previous step (for example: `https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/tools/agent-blueprint/<your-blueprint-id>`).
+   ![Find agent blueprint](image-2.png)
+
+2. Get your Blueprint ID:
+   ```powershell
+   azd env get-values
+   ```
+
+3. Navigate to **Configuration** and add your **Bot ID** (same as Blueprint ID):
+   ![Screenshot showing the Bot ID configuration field in the Teams Developer Portal](image-3.png)
+
+### Step 5: Create Agent Instances
+
+After configuring the agent blueprint in Teams Developer Portal, you can now create agent instances based on your blueprint:
+
+1. In Microsoft Teams, navigate to **Apps** → **Agents for your team**
+2. Find your agent blueprint and create an instance:
+   ![Screenshot of Microsoft Teams showing the 'Agents for your team' section with an agent listed](image-4.png)

+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Overview
+
+This deployment orchestrates five key components to create a fully functional A365 agent:
+
+### 1️⃣ Creating a Foundry Project
+
+Creates a Foundry project configured to support hosted agents with appropriate permissions on an Azure Container Registry for building and storing Docker images.
+
+📚 [Learn more about prerequisites](https://github.com/microsoft/container_agents_docs?tab=readme-ov-file#11---prerequisites)
+
+### 2️⃣ Setting up Azure Bot Service
+
+Azure Bot Service acts as a relay between M365 ecosystem interactions and the Foundry application. The bot is configured with:
+
+- Agent endpoint
+- Agent's blueprint identity as the appId
+
+### 3️⃣ Building a Hosted Agent Docker Image
+
+Compiles the Python sample into a Docker container and registers it as a hosted agent with the Foundry project.
+
+📚 [Learn more about building agents](https://github.com/microsoft/container_agents_docs?tab=readme-ov-file#14---build-agent-image)
+
+### 4️⃣ Creating the Agent
+
+Creates the hosted agent using the Docker image above.
+
+📚 [Learn more about agent deployment](https://github.com/microsoft/container_agents_docs?tab=readme-ov-file#step-2-deploy-agent)
+
+### 5️⃣ Publishing to Your Organization
+
+Publishes the application to Microsoft 365 via Foundry API, creating a hireable digital worker with:
+
+- Digital worker metadata
+- Agent blueprint ID
+- Digital worker designation
+
+> **⚠️ Important:** The agent requires [admin approval](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/enterprise-apps/review-admin-consent-requests#review-and-take-action-on-admin-consent-requests-1) before becoming available for hiring.
+
+---
+
+## 📜 Hosted Agent Logs
+
+If you receive an error, the response will include a `FOUNDRY_AGENT_SESSION_ID`. Use it to stream the hosted agent's session logs:
+
+```bash
+curl -N \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
+  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
+  -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
+  -H "Foundry-Features: HostedAgents=V1Preview" \
+  "https://$ACCOUNT_NAME.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/$PROJECT_NAME/agents/$AGENT_NAME/sessions/$SESSION_NAME:logstream?api-version=2025-11-15-preview"
+```
+
