Agent factory: Design of Open Agent web tank | Blog Microsoft Azure

Unlock the Enterprise with open, secure and interoperable ecosystem of AI agents.

This blog is a wrapped post in a series of blog called Agent Factory, which shares proven procedures, design patterns and tools to help you lead and build AI.

AI – autonomous software entities operating on behalf of users and organizations – indicates a transformation moment for business technology. But as we have explored in this blog series, building effective agents is more than just a code. This requires a repeatable plan, a range of use, developer tools, observability, integration and management.

During this series we have passed the way of building business agents: from the beginning Cases of use and design formulas to Tools and Workflows of Developer needed to transition from a prototype to production, to the importance of observability, interoperability and open standardsand finally Management and Security Principles Required to be responsible for agents.

Now that we have closed the series, we will approach Bigger: tea Agent Web Stack. As well as HTTP and TCP/IP standardized Internet provides this storage tank of conventional services and protocols needed to produce ecosystems with multiple agents Safe, scalable and interoperable through the organizational boundaries.

Blueprint: 8 basic components and services

The robust agency site is not one technology, but a Composition of services Together they provide the basis for open, secure and business systems with multiple agents. Here is what it takes – and how it makes Azure ai foundry.

1.

Agents need a shared “language” to exchange messages, requirements and structured data. Without it, the cooperation breaks into an isolated silo. Standards as A context model (MCP) protocol (MCP) and Agent-agent (A2A) Provide this basis and ensure that agents can negotiate, coordinate and cooperate – no matter who has built or hosted. In Azure AI Foundry, the support of A2A allows not only intra -organization workflows, but also inter -border cooperation, where partners of the supply chain or business ecosystems can safely exchange steps through the joint protocol.

2. Discovery Registry Service

Like the site, he needed directory and search engines, agents need a way to find and reuse them. Tea Catalog It serves as a list of assets – curatorial collection of agents, tools and applications that can be discovered and folded into new solutions. Tea RegisterOn the other hand, it monitors deployed instances of these assets – instances of live agent applications running across providers, with their endpoints, health and status. The catalog and the register together bridge the gap between what is available, and what is active, which allows developers to publish once, to discover broadly and reliably organize workflows against running systems.

3. Identity and trust management service

Trust is the life of the agency website. Each agent must carry a verifiable identity, forced through standards as OIDC (OpenID Connect) and JWT (JSON Web Token)and tied into business systems as Microsoft Inclaid. In the Azure AI foundry is not thoughtful – it is a control plane. This allows a fine -grained role -based approach to ensures that only the authorized actors participate in workflows and provide auditable responsibility for each event that the agent will take. Combined with encrypted channels, this model of the first identity enforces and The attitude of zero confidence security via the agent storage.

4. Calling and integrating tools

No agent can succeed in isolation; The value comes when agents can connect with data, API and business systems. Tea Context model protocol (MCP) It provides a neutral seller’s standard for exposing tools so that any compatible agent can evoke. In Azure AI Foundry, the integration of MCP is deeply built into, so developers can once register the business API once and are immediately available to more agents-if they are built on Microsoft’s agents such as semantic core and autogen, Langgraph or third party SDKS. This eliminates custom -made integration and allows businesses to create workflows from the best components in its class.

5. Orchestration of Services

Individual agents can handle discrete tasks, but actual breakthroughs come from Multi-agent orchestration: Agent teams cooperate through multi -stage distributed processes. The Azure AI foundry adds this through a unified framework that brings together the semantic core and autogen – and expands it with Workflow orchestration with multiple agents Inside Azure AI Foundry Agent Service. These workflows manage dependencies, allocate resources and deal with conflicts, allowing cases of use of business scale, such as processing a financial transaction or response to IT incidents.

6. Telemetry and observability service

As we have covered in Part 3, observability is unregisable to reliable agents. Azure Ai Foundry expands Ophememetry With instrumentation-agent-even conversations, capture performance data, and emergence of anomalies in real time. As a result, agents’ behavior is explained and slimable and at the same time serves the needs of administration: any decision and conduct are recorded, audited and bound back to identity. For businesses it is a subsoil Trust, compliance with regulations and constant improvement.

7. Memory service

Agents without memory are limited to interactions without nationality; Memory agents become adaptive, contextual and human in their continuity. Azure AI Foundry supports both short -term session and long -term integration of business knowledge. Imagine a customer support agent that commemorates previous interactions across channels, or an agent of a supply chain that monitors historical disruption to improve future decisions. With memory, agents develop from transaction helpers to Strategic partners who learn over time and adapt to.

8. Evaluation and Administration Service

Finally, no tray is complete without management. This includes continuous evaluation, recovery of policies, ethical warranty and compliance. In the Azure AI founders, the administration hooks are built into orchestration, observability and services of identity-enhancement of businesses to block dangerous actions, enforce approval for sensitive workflows and generate audit trails prepared for agreement. This ensures that the organization not only innovate quickly, but but Innovation responsibly.

Strategic cases of use and business value

The agent web magazine is not theoretical; Unlock the specific value of the company.

  • Automation of End-to-End business processes: Imagine the workflow of the prosecutor’s office, where one agent negotiates with suppliers, another verifies compliance with the regulations, starts the third payments and the fourth update of the ERP records. Thanks to the orchestration register and the discovery of Azure and the foundry, these agents work smoothly, reduce manual intervention and cycle time from weeks to hours.
  • Synchronization of a supplier chain between organization: In global supply chains, delay often comes from non -conforming systems and data. With A2A and Discovery Services, a logistics agent from one company can safely cooperate with a customs agent from another – as follows identity and observability. Result: Faster boundaries, lower costs and higher resistance.
  • Increase in knowledge of the worker: Agents built with the Azure AI foundry can take over repeated but high-quality tasks-paying, research, writing the first move-on-about people focus on creativity and judgment. Memory integration ensures continuity: Agent research remembers previous analyzed cases, while a marketing agent commemorates instructions to the brand across campaigns.
  • Complex IT operations: When the outages occur, every second counts. Workflows with multi-agent in Azure AI foundry can detect anomalies, route alerts, diagnose and propose alleviation across distributed environments. Observability ensures that the causes of the roots are transparent, while the administration promotes that corrective measures are in line with politics.
  • Memory -focused customers’ paths: Agent Customer Support, which resembles a previous complaint, an agent of personalization that adapts the recommendations, an agent for compliance Adaptive interaction rich in context. The result is not only efficiency, but stronger relationships and trust.

Preparation for the agent era

For organizations a journey forward is the same strategy and culture Since this is a technology:

  • Start with open standards: Accept MCP and A2A from the beginning, even IU pilots to avoid future overwork and ensuring interoperability.
  • Invest in foundations: Identity, observability and memory are not optional; They are pillars that distinguish ad hoc automation from business systems.
  • Operating Administration: Define politicians now and put them in workflows through the right Azure AI Foundry services, so the supervision of adoption changes.
  • Involve ecosystem: Take part in open source and standard communities, affect their direction and ensure that your organization’s voice is heard.
  • Prepare your workforce: Train employees not only for the use of agents but also work with them, supervise them and improve them over time.

The leaders who act according to these imperatives not only accept the agent artificial intelligence, but in their industries form their trajectory.
