Microsoft Foundry

Microsoft Foundry prend en charge deux modèles de contexte distincts. Les deux utilisent des ressources gérées par Foundry, mais elles s’attachent à un agent différemment et résolvent différents problèmes.

Pattern	Mécanisme d’infrastructure de l’agent	Comportement
File-search RAG	Outil de recherche de fichiers hébergé par un fournisseur	Recherche des fichiers et des magasins vectoriels que votre application charge et gère explicitement dans un projet Foundry.
Mémoire sémantique managée	FoundryMemoryProvider fournisseur de contexte	Extrait des faits et des résumés des conversations, les stocke par étendue et récupère les souvenirs pertinents dans les exécutions ultérieures.

Pour obtenir l’inférence de modèle et les agents Foundry gérés par le service, consultez Microsoft fournisseur de modèles Foundry et Microsoft Service de l’agent Foundry.

Utiliser RAG de recherche de fichiers

Utilisez ce modèle lorsque Foundry doit posséder un cycle de vie d’ingestion de document et de magasin vectoriel pour une base de connaissances organisée. La recherche de fichiers est un outil hébergé plutôt qu’un fournisseur de contexte ; consultez les conseils de recherche de fichiers génériques pour le comportement de l’outil. Utilisez Recherche Azure AI lorsque la source de vérité de l'application est un index Recherche Azure AI.

Ajouter une mémoire sémantique managée

Utilisez FoundryMemoryProvider lorsqu’un agent doit rappeler un contexte d’utilisateur ou d’application durable entre les sessions. La mémoire trouvée stocke les faits et résumés extraits séparément de la transcription de conversation complète.

Installer le package

dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.AI.Foundry --prerelease

Créez FoundryMemoryProvider avec une étendue stable, vérifiez que le magasin de mémoire existe et attendez les mises à jour asynchrones avant de vous appuyer sur les mémoires nouvellement extraites.

// is encountered by the FoundryMemoryProvider that does not already have state stored on the session.
// If each session should have its own scope, you can create a new id per session via the stateInitializer, e.g.:
// new FoundryMemoryProvider(projectClient, memoryStoreName, stateInitializer: _ => new(new FoundryMemoryProviderScope(Guid.NewGuid().ToString())), ...)

Considérations relatives à la production

• Réutiliser les magasins de vecteurs persistants pour les bases de connaissances de production.
• Utilisez des identificateurs d’étendue de mémoire stable appartenant à l’application et autorisez l’accès avant de sélectionner une étendue.
• Attendez l’extraction asynchrone lorsqu’une opération suivante dépend de la mémoire nouvellement écrite.
• Conservez les transcriptions exactes dans un fournisseur d’historique lorsque vous avez besoin d’enregistrements de conversation complets.
• Configurez les déploiements de rétention, de région et de modèle pour qu’ils correspondent à vos exigences de conformité.
