Adam Lin f280742c01 Python: Samples: deterministic action-boundary validation middleware (#5366) (#6528) 
* Python: add ATR validation FunctionMiddleware sample (execution-boundary validation, #5366)

Adds python/samples/02-agents/middleware/atr_validation_middleware.py: a
FunctionMiddleware that validates tool arguments at the execution boundary and
raises MiddlewareTermination before call_next() when they match an attack
pattern, so the tool never runs. This is the deterministic, single-enforcement-
point pattern named in #5366 and answers its open follow-up about a recommended
validation-at-execution-boundary sample.

The check is a small self-contained deny-list mirroring Agent Threat Rules (ATR)
intent (prompt injection, exfiltration, credential access in tool args); a
docstring notes how to swap in the full open ruleset via pyatr. No external
dependency, so the sample stays import-clean.

Updates the middleware README Files table.

* Python: Samples: run the real ATR engine in atr_validation_middleware

Address review on #6528:
- Load and run the real ATR ruleset via pyatr (ATREngine + AgentEvent
  tool_call event) instead of re-implementing a regex deny-list; the
  built-in deny-list is now only a fallback when pyatr is not installed.
- Add re.DOTALL (and a whole-text scan) to the fallback patterns so
  multiline injection payloads are not missed.
- Move load_dotenv() into main() so importing the module has no side
  effects.
- Route the middleware block/allow messages through a module logger
  instead of print().
- Include the matched ATR rule id in the log and in the
  MiddlewareTermination message for auditability.
- Update the middleware README entry to match.

* fix(samples): make ATR validation middleware pass ty/pyrefly typing CI

Resolve the three type-checker errors flagged on the samples typing jobs
(ty + pyrefly, reportMissingImports/reportAttributeAccessIssue via pyright):

- pyatr is an optional, unstubbed runtime dependency that is not installed
  in the typing CI env; mark its imports with `# type: ignore` so the
  unresolved-import error is suppressed while keeping the graceful
  ImportError -> deny-list fallback intact.
- Replace the function-attribute engine cache
  (`_detect_with_atr._engine`), which ty/pyrefly reject, with a clean
  `functools.lru_cache`-backed `_load_atr_engine()` loader.
- Type the argument-scanning helpers to accept the real
  `FunctionInvocationContext.arguments` type (`BaseModel | Mapping[str, Any]`)
  and normalise a pydantic model via `model_dump()` before scanning, fixing
  the invalid-argument-type error.

ty / pyrefly / pyright (samples config) / ruff check + format all clean on
the file; runtime block/allow behaviour verified for both dict and BaseModel
arguments.

* Python: Samples: simplify ATR middleware to plain pyatr import

Address review feedback (@eavanvalkenburg): now that the sample runs the
real pyatr engine, drop the optional-import scaffolding.

- Add a dependency header declaring pyatr (pip install pyatr).
- Switch to a plain top-level `import pyatr` and remove the
  try/except ImportError fallback path.
- Remove the regex deny-list (_FALLBACK_PATTERNS, _detect_with_fallback);
  keep 2-3 representative pattern shapes inline as a reference comment so
  readers still see the kind of rules ATR encodes. Detection is now a
  single straight-line engine call.
- Keep the prior typing fixes: `# type: ignore` on the pyatr import
  (unstubbed, absent in the typing CI env), the functools.lru_cache
  engine loader, and the BaseModel | Mapping[str, Any] signatures.

* fix: use PEP 723 inline script metadata for sample dependencies

Getting Started

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

  1. 01_hello_agent.py — Create and run your first agent
  2. 02_add_tools.py — Add function tools with @tool
  3. 03_multi_turn.py — Multi-turn conversations with AgentSession

  5. 05_functional_workflow_with_agents.py — Call agents inside a functional workflow
  6. 06_functional_workflow_basics.py — Write a workflow as a plain async function
  7. 07_first_graph_workflow.py — Build a workflow with executors and edges
  8. 08_host_your_agent.py — Host your agent via Azure Functions

Prerequisites

pip install agent-framework

Environment Variables

Samples call load_dotenv() to automatically load environment variables from a .env file in the python/ directory. This is a convenience for local development and testing.

For local development, set up your environment using any of these methods:

Option 1: Using a .env file (recommended for local development):

  1. Copy .env.example to .env in the python/ directory: 
    cp .env.example .env
  2. Edit .env and set your values (API keys, endpoints, etc.)

Option 2: Export environment variables directly:

export FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
export FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"

Option 3: Using env_file_path parameter (for per-client configuration):

All client classes (e.g., OpenAIChatClient, OpenAIChatCompletionClient) support an env_file_path parameter to load environment variables from a specific file:

from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient

# Load from a custom .env file
client = OpenAIChatClient(env_file_path="path/to/custom.env")

This allows different clients to use different configuration files if needed.

For the generic OpenAI clients (OpenAIChatClient and OpenAIChatCompletionClient), routing precedence is:

  1. Explicit Azure inputs such as credential, azure_endpoint, or api_version
  2. OPENAI_API_KEY / explicit OpenAI API-key parameters
  3. Azure environment fallback such as AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT and AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY

If you keep both OpenAI and Azure variables in your shell, the generic clients stay on OpenAI until you pass an explicit Azure input.

For the getting-started samples, you'll need at minimum:

FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="your-foundry-project-endpoint"
FOUNDRY_MODEL="gpt-4o"

Consolidated sample env inventory

This is the single source of truth for package-level environment variables read by packages included by agent-framework-core[all]. It intentionally excludes variables that are only read by standalone samples, package sample folders, or tests. When package code adds, removes, or renames an environment variable, update this table in the same change.

Example values below are illustrative. For entries not backed by a single public class, the class column names the closest public surface, helper, or package-level initialization point that reads the variable.

agent-framework-openai supports the Azure OpenAI client-specific deployment aliases listed above; keep packages/openai/README.md as the authoritative reference for the exact fallback order and package-specific behavior.

Note for production: In production environments, set environment variables through your deployment platform (e.g., Azure App Settings, Kubernetes ConfigMaps/Secrets) rather than using .env files. The load_dotenv() call in samples will have no effect when a .env file is not present, allowing environment variables to be loaded from the system.

For Azure authentication, run az login before running samples.

Note on XML tags

Some sample files include XML-style snippet tags (for example <snippet_name> and </snippet_name>). These are used by our documentation tooling and can be ignored or removed when you use the samples outside this repository.
