Azure Functions
An Azure service that provides an event-driven serverless compute platform.
Does any connection between the AzureFunctionsTools local Path and VS Code Functions Runtime?

%LocalAppData%\AzureFunctionsTools Even this folder is deleted. It can be recreated automatically when we launch the function app in Visual Studio but not from the VS Code.
How VS Code IDE takes the Function Runtime Version 4.14.x after launching the Function App locally?
What is the usage of the local system path %Local%\%AppData%\%AzureFunctionsTools% in the context of Azure Functions locally running?

When you launch a function app in Visual Studio, the tools are automatically used to run the app locally.
In the context of Azure Functions, the local system path %Local%%AppData%%AzureFunctionsTools% is used to store the Azure Functions Core Tools. The tools are used to develop and run Azure Functions locally on your computer. When you launch a function app in Visual Studio, the tools are automatically used to run the app locally.
Regarding the Function Runtime Version 4.14.x, it is the version of the Azure Functions runtime that is used to run your function app. The version is specified in the local.settings.json file in your function app project. When you launch the function app in Visual Studio Code, the specified version of the runtime is used to run the app.
In summary, the Azure Functions Core Tools are used to develop and run Azure Functions locally on your computer, and the local system path %Local%%AppData%%AzureFunctionsTools% is used to store the tools.The Function Runtime Version 4.14.x is the version of the Azure Functions runtime that is used to run your function app

2023-02-17T05:06:05.89+00:00 I don't know why many lines from 1st paragraph is repeated in the below paragraphs. And in the file
local.settings.json` file - I can see only the storage account connection string and function worker runtime.In the
.csprojfile, I can see the functions core tools versions v4 but I cannot see specific patch version of v4 like4.0.4915.%Local%%AppData%%AzureFunctionsTools%this path reference to Visual Studio Azure Functions Core Tools but not to VS Code.I have tested by deleting that folder and launching the function project from VS will recreates that folder in the same path but not the same with the VS Code.
Where VS Code is picking the exact patch version of
4.0.4915in the Local System Path?
