Guide — Updated August 2026
How Foundry Agent Service is built — the Responses API, Agent Runtime, agent types, tools, and the object model that replaced Assistants.
Foundry Agent Service changed the agent object model and API. This guide explains how it is architected and how to design reliable agents on it.
This guide explains Foundry Agent Service architecture: the Responses API (Agents v2) that replaced the Assistants API, the Conversations/Items/Responses/Agent Versions object model, the Agent Runtime that hosts and scales prompt and hosted agents, the Responses and Invocations protocols, tools (web search, file search, code interpreter, custom functions, OpenAPI, MCP) and Toolboxes, memory, A2A, tracing, and evaluation. It also covers migrating off the Assistants API (retires August 26, 2026) and the classic Agent Service (retires March 31, 2027).
