Python: Agent
get_responseAPI by @TaoChenOSU in #10701We've simplified our APIs to make it easier to quickly get started with agents. You can now directly retrieve an agent response using:
response = await agent.get_response(chat_history)
This new API complements the existing invoke and invoke_stream methods you may already be using.
-
Python: Allow plugins via agent constructors. Update samples. by @moonbox3 in #10707
We've streamlined the way plugins and services can be added to agents. You no longer need to separately define a kernel and manually add plugins before constructing an agent. The simplified constructor looks like this:
agent = ChatCompletionAgent( service=AzureChatCompletion(), instructions="Answer questions about the world.", plugins=[SamplePlugin()], )
This update enhances usability as we approach our release candidate. The previous approach remains valid, but this new method offers improved simplicity. Please refer to the migration guide for details on updating to SK 1.22.0+.
The old way is still valid, but this is a much more streamlined approach.
