ExternalAgentDefinition Class

The external agent definition. Represents a third-party agent hosted outside Foundry (for example, on GCP or AWS). Registration is metadata-only: Foundry records the agent definition to light up observability experiences (traces, evaluations) over customer-emitted OpenTelemetry data.

Constructor

ExternalAgentDefinition(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

Variables

Name Description
rai_config

Configuration for Responsible AI (RAI) content filtering and safety features.

kind
str or <xref:azure.ai.projects.models.EXTERNAL>

Required. EXTERNAL.

otel_agent_id
str

The OpenTelemetry agent identifier used to attribute customer-emitted spans to this Foundry agent. Spans must include the attribute gen_ai.agent.id = <otel_agent_id> to appear under this registration. Defaults to the top-level agent name when omitted. Provide an explicit value only for migration scenarios where the running external agent already emits a stable id that differs from the Foundry agent name. The resolved value is always echoed on read.

Methods

as_dict
