FoundryAITool

Remarks

This class wraps Azure.AI.Projects.Agents.AgentTool (Azure.AI.Projects.OpenAI) and OpenAI.Responses.ResponseTool (OpenAI SDK) factory methods, returning AITool directly — eliminating the need for manual casting and .AsAITool() calls.

Instead of writing: ((ResponseTool)AgentTool.CreateOpenApiTool(definition)).AsAITool() You can write: FoundryAITool.CreateOpenApiTool(definition)
