Microsoft Foundry

O Microsoft Foundry suporta dois padrões de contexto distintos. Ambos utilizam recursos geridos pela Foundry, mas ligam-se a um agente de forma diferente e resolvem problemas distintos.

Pattern	Mecanismo de Quadro de Agentes	Comportamento
RAG de pesquisa de ficheiros	Ferramenta de pesquisa de ficheiros alojada pelo fornecedor	Pesquisa ficheiros e armazena vetoriais que a sua aplicação carrega e gere explicitamente num projeto Foundry.
Memória semântica gerida	FoundryMemoryProvider Fornecedor de contexto	Extrai factos e resumos das conversas, armazena-os por âmbito e recupera memórias relevantes em edições posteriores.

Para inferência de modelos e agentes Foundry geridos por serviços, consulte Microsoft Foundry model provider e Microsoft Foundry Agent Service.

Usar RAG de pesquisa de ficheiros

Use este padrão quando a Foundry deve ser responsável pela ingestão de documentos e pelo ciclo de vida de armazenamento vetorial para uma base de conhecimento curada. A pesquisa de ficheiros é uma ferramenta alojada em vez de um fornecedor de contexto; Consulte a orientação genérica de pesquisa de ficheiros para o comportamento da ferramenta. Use o Pesquisa de IA do Azure quando a fonte de verdade da aplicação for um índice do Pesquisa de IA do Azure.

Criar um armazenamento vetorial Foundry e um agente

Carregue um ficheiro de base de conhecimento, crie um armazenamento vetorial, anexe FileSearchTool, e crie um arquivo versionado FoundryAgent.

Adicionar memória semântica gerida

Use FoundryMemoryProvider quando um agente deve recordar o contexto duradouro do utilizador ou da aplicação entre sessões. A Foundry Memory armazena factos extraídos e resumos separadamente da transcrição completa da conversa.

Observação

A integração de memória do Microsoft Foundry não está atualmente disponível para o Agent Framework Go. Consulte o repositório Agent Framework Go para o estado mais recente.

Considerações sobre a produção

• Reutilizar armazenamentos vetoriais persistentes para bases de conhecimento de produção.
• Use identificadores de escopo de memória estável propriedade da aplicação e autorize o acesso antes de selecionar um escopo.
• Aguarde pela extração assíncrona quando uma operação subsequente depende da memória recém-escrita.
• Guarde as transcrições exatas num fornecedor de histórico quando precisar de registos completos de conversa.
• Configure as implementações de retenção, região e modelo para corresponderem aos seus requisitos de conformidade.
