Foundry Agent Service

Apply advanced task decomposition strategies in Microsoft Foundry multi-agent systems. Design prompt chaining workflows for complex reasoning, implement LLM-driven adaptive decomposition with meta-agent planners, configure agent handoff protocols for context-preserving transitions, and balance decomposition granularity against coordination overhead.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, you're able to:

  • Design prompt chaining workflows that guide agents through complex multi-step analytical tasks
  • Implement dynamic adaptive task decomposition using LLM-driven meta-agent planning
  • Configure agent collaboration and handoff protocols for context-preserving task transitions
  • Balance task decomposition granularity against coordination overhead for performance optimization

Prerequisites

Before starting this module, you should have:

  • Experience building multi-agent solutions with Microsoft Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework
  • Understanding of orchestration patterns from the previous module or equivalent experience
  • Proficiency in Python
  • 4+ years of AI/ML development experience
