* Rename store isolation key provider

Rename the shared session isolation abstraction to reflect its use for both session and task stores.

* Rename to AgentIsolationKeyProvider per review feedback

Drops the `Store` qualifier and keeps an `Agent` prefix so the type is not
confused with generic isolation-key abstractions from other libraries, while
leaving room for future non-store isolation (memory, retrieval).

- StoreIsolationKeyProvider -> AgentIsolationKeyProvider
- ClaimsIdentityStoreIsolationKeyProvider(+Options) -> ClaimsIdentityAgentIsolationKeyProvider(+Options)
- GetStoreIsolationKeyAsync -> GetIsolationKeyAsync
- UseClaimsBasedStoreIsolation -> UseClaimsBasedAgentIsolation

XML docs now state that the `Agent` prefix identifies the hosting API domain and
does not mean agent instances are isolated.

Agent Framework Samples

The agent framework samples are designed to help you get started with building AI-powered agents from various providers.

The Agent Framework supports building agents using various inference and inference-style services. All these are supported using the single ChatClientAgent class.

The Agent Framework also supports creating proxy agents, that allow accessing remote agents as if they were local agents. These are supported using various AIAgent subclasses.

Sample Structure

Folder Description
01-get-started/ Progressive tutorial: hello agent → first workflow
02-agents/ Deep-dive by concept: tools, middleware, providers, orchestrations
03-workflows/ Workflow patterns: sequential, concurrent, state, declarative
04-hosting/ Deployment: A2A and Foundry hosted agents
05-end-to-end/ Full applications, evaluation, demos

Getting Started

Start with 01-get-started/ and work through the numbered files:

  1. 01_hello_agent — Create and run your first agent
  2. 02_add_tools — Add function tools
  3. 03_multi_turn — Multi-turn conversations with AgentSession
  4. 04_memory — Agent memory with AIContextProvider
  5. 05_first_workflow — Build a workflow with executors and edges

Additional Samples

Some additional samples of note include:

  • Agents: Basic steps to get started with the agent framework. These samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of the agent framework when using the AIAgent and can be used with any underlying service that provides an AIAgent implementation.
  • Agent Providers: Shows how to create an AIAgent instance for a selection of providers.
  • Agent Telemetry: Demo which showcases the integration of OpenTelemetry with the Microsoft Agent Framework using Azure OpenAI and .NET Aspire Dashboard for telemetry visualization.
  • Durable Agent Framework extension: Durable agents and workflows for console applications and Azure Functions.

Migration from Semantic Kernel

If you are migrating from Semantic Kernel to the Microsoft Agent Framework, the following resources provide guidance and side-by-side examples to help you transition your existing agents, tools, and orchestration patterns. The migration samples map Semantic Kernel primitives (such as ChatCompletionAgent and Team orchestrations) to their Agent Framework equivalents (such as ChatClientAgent and workflow builders).

For an in-depth migration guide, see the official migration documentation.

Prerequisites

For prerequisites see each set of samples for their specific requirements.
