* Bump Python package versions for 1.12.0 release

Bump packages represented in the 1.12.0 changelog, promote Foundry Hosting, Azure Content Understanding, Gemini, Mistral, Monty, and Tools to beta, and apply the requested beta cohort date stamp. Root and core move to 1.12.0, released and RC packages use their selected increments, alpha packages including Hosting MCP use the 260721 stamp, and core floors are raised only for proven consumers.

Context Provider Samples

These samples demonstrate how to use context providers to enrich agent conversations with external knowledge — from custom logic to Azure AI Search (RAG) and memory services.

Samples

File / Folder Description
simple_context_provider.py Implement a custom context provider by extending ContextProvider to extract and inject structured user information across turns.
cross_session_observer.py Detect injected context messages whose origins differ from the current session, via the Message.additional_properties["_attribution"]["origin_session_ids"] field. Self-contained — no LLM credentials required.
azure_ai_foundry_memory.py Use FoundryMemoryProvider to add semantic memory — automatically retrieves, searches, and stores memories via Microsoft Foundry.
file_access_data_processing/ Use FileAccessProvider with FileSystemAgentFileStore to give an agent read/write/search access to a folder of CSV data files. See its own README.
azure_ai_search/ Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with Azure AI Search in semantic and agentic modes. See its own README.
azure_content_understanding/ Analyze documents, images, audio, and video with Azure Content Understanding and inject the extracted content into agent context.
mem0/ Memory-powered context using the Mem0 integration (open-source and managed). See its own README.
redis/ Redis-backed context providers for conversation memory and sessions. See its own README.

Prerequisites

For cross_session_observer.py:

  • No external dependencies; runs against in-memory SessionContext.

For simple_context_provider.py:

  • FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT: Your Microsoft Foundry project endpoint
  • FOUNDRY_MODEL: Model deployment name
  • Azure CLI authentication (az login)

For azure_ai_foundry_memory.py:

  • FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT: Your Microsoft Foundry project endpoint
  • FOUNDRY_MODEL: Chat/responses model deployment name
  • AZURE_OPENAI_EMBEDDING_DEPLOYMENT_NAME: Embedding model deployment name (e.g., text-embedding-ada-002)
  • Azure CLI authentication (az login)

For file_access_data_processing/:

  • FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT: Your Microsoft Foundry project endpoint
  • FOUNDRY_MODEL: Chat model deployment name
  • Azure CLI authentication (az login)

See each subfolder's README for provider-specific prerequisites.
