Common Issues

Authentication Errors

Ensure you have the correct credentials configured for your AI provider. For Azure OpenAI, verify:

  • Azure CLI is installed and authenticated (az login)
  • User has the Cognitive Services OpenAI User or Cognitive Services OpenAI Contributor role

Package Installation Issues

Ensure you're using .NET 8.0 SDK or later. Run dotnet --version to check your installed version.

Agent Framework supports Python 3.10 through 3.15. Python 3.10 remains supported for this release, but it's soft-deprecated because upstream Python 3.10 reached end of life. Use Python 3.11 or later for new environments, and run python --version to verify the active interpreter.

On Python 3.14 and 3.15, Declarative Power Fx expressions aren't evaluated. On Python 3.15, pip install agent-framework succeeds with a reduced feature set: Redis and Hyperlight aren't installed, and the AG-UI A2UI extra isn't available. If an integration fails to resolve, check its Requires-Python range and use a compatible interpreter. For details, see the Python 2026 significant changes guide.

Ensure you're using Go 1.25 or later. Run go version to check your installed version. If dependencies fail to resolve, run go mod tidy and verify your module imports github.com/microsoft/agent-framework-go packages that exist in the current SDK.
