核心工作流程

1. 创建智能体

var modelDeploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME");

PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
    model: modelDeploymentName,
    name: "Math Tutor",
    instructions: "You are a personal math tutor. Write and run code to answer math questions.",
    tools: [new CodeInterpreterToolDefinition()]
);

2. 创建线程和消息

// 创建线程
PersistentAgentThread thread = await client.Threads.CreateThreadAsync();

// 创建消息
await client.Messages.CreateMessageAsync(
    thread.Id,
    MessageRole.User,
    "I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?"
);

3. 运行智能体（轮询模式）

// 创建运行
ThreadRun run = await client.Runs.CreateRunAsync(
    thread.Id,
    agent.Id,
    additionalInstructions: "Please address the user as Jane Doe."
);

// 轮询等待完成
do
{
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500));
    run = await client.Runs.GetRunAsync(thread.Id, run.Id);
}
while (run.Status == RunStatus.Queued || run.Status == RunStatus.InProgress);

// 获取消息
await foreach (PersistentThreadMessage message in client.Messages.GetMessagesAsync(
    threadId: thread.Id, 
    order: ListSortOrder.Ascending))
{
    Console.Write($"{message.Role}: ");
    foreach (MessageContent content in message.ContentItems)
    {
        if (content is MessageTextContent textContent)
            Console.WriteLine(textContent.Text);
    }
}

4. 流式响应

AsyncCollectionResult<StreamingUpdate> stream = client.Runs.CreateRunStreamingAsync(
    thread.Id, 
    agent.Id
);

await foreach (StreamingUpdate update in stream)
{
    if (update.UpdateKind == StreamingUpdateReason.RunCreated)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("--- Run started! ---");
    }
    else if (update is MessageContentUpdate contentUpdate)
    {
        Console.Write(contentUpdate.Text);
    }
    else if (update.UpdateKind == StreamingUpdateReason.RunCompleted)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\n--- Run completed! ---");
    }
}

5. 函数调用

// 定义函数工具
FunctionToolDefinition weatherTool = new(
    name: "getCurrentWeather",
    description: "Gets the current weather at a location.",
    parameters: BinaryData.FromObjectAsJson(new
    {
        Type = "object",
        Properties = new
        {
            Location = new { Type = "string", Description = "City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA" },
            Unit = new { Type = "string", Enum = new[] { "c", "f" } }
        },
        Required = new[] { "location" }
    }, new JsonSerializerOptions { PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase })
);

// 创建带函数的智能体
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
    model: modelDeploymentName,
    name: "Weather Bot",
    instructions: "You are a weather bot.",
    tools: [weatherTool]
);

// 在轮询过程中处理函数调用
do
{
    await Task.Delay(500);
    run = await client.Runs.GetRunAsync(thread.Id, run.Id);

    if (run.Status == RunStatus.RequiresAction 
        && run.RequiredAction is SubmitToolOutputsAction submitAction)
    {
        List<ToolOutput> outputs = [];
        foreach (RequiredToolCall toolCall in submitAction.ToolCalls)
        {
            if (toolCall is RequiredFunctionToolCall funcCall)
            {
                // 执行函数并获取结果
                string result = ExecuteFunction(funcCall.Name, funcCall.Arguments);
                outputs.Add(new ToolOutput(toolCall, result));
            }
        }
        run = await client.Runs.SubmitToolOutputsToRunAsync(run, outputs, toolApprovals: null);
    }
}
while (run.Status == RunStatus.Queued || run.Status == RunStatus.InProgress);

6. 使用向量存储的文件搜索

// 上传文件
PersistentAgentFileInfo file = await client.Files.UploadFileAsync(
    filePath: "document.txt",
    purpose: PersistentAgentFilePurpose.Agents
);

// 创建向量存储
PersistentAgentsVectorStore vectorStore = await client.VectorStores.CreateVectorStoreAsync(
    fileIds: [file.Id],
    name: "my_vector_store"
);

// 创建文件搜索资源
FileSearchToolResource fileSearchResource = new();
fileSearchResource.VectorStoreIds.Add(vectorStore.Id);

// 创建带文件搜索的智能体
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
    model: modelDeploymentName,
    name: "Document Assistant",
    instructions: "You help users find information in documents.",
    tools: [new FileSearchToolDefinition()],
    toolResources: new ToolResources { FileSearch = fileSearchResource }
);

7. Bing 地面化

var bingConnectionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_BING_CONNECTION_ID");

BingGroundingToolDefinition bingTool = new(
    new BingGroundingSearchToolParameters(
        [new BingGroundingSearchConfiguration(bingConnectionId)]
    )
);

PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
    model: modelDeploymentName,
    name: "Search Agent",
    instructions: "Use Bing to answer questions about current events.",
    tools: [bingTool]
);

8. Azure AI Search

AzureAISearchToolResource searchResource = new(
    connectionId: searchConnectionId,
    indexName: "my_index",
    topK: 5,
    filter: "category eq 'documentation'",
    queryType: AzureAISearchQueryType.Simple
);

PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
    model: modelDeploymentName,
    name: "Search Agent",
    instructions: "Search the documentation index to answer questions.",
    tools: [new AzureAISearchToolDefinition()],
    toolResources: new ToolResources { AzureAISearch = searchResource }
);

9. 清理资源

await client.Threads.DeleteThreadAsync(thread.Id);
await client.Administration.DeleteAgentAsync(agent.Id);
await client.VectorStores.DeleteVectorStoreAsync(vectorStore.Id);
await client.Files.DeleteFileAsync(file.Id);

可用工具

流式更新类型

关键类型参考

最佳实践

1. 始终释放客户端 — 使用 using 语句或显式释放
2. 使用适当的延迟轮询 — 状态检查之间建议 500ms
3. 清理资源 — 完成后删除线程和智能体
4. 处理所有运行状态 — 检查 RequiresAction、Failed、Cancelled
5. 使用流式处理实现实时用户体验 — 比轮询更好的用户体验
6. 存储 ID 而非对象 — 通过 ID 引用智能体/线程
7. 使用异步方法 — 所有操作都应该是异步的

错误处理

using Azure;

try
{
    var agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(...);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 404)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Resource not found");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}
