write a python script to create an Azure AI Agent with file search capabilities

codex
Below is a standalone Python script that spins up an Azure AI Agent with file-se
arch capabilities. Just set the three environment variables (`PROJECT_ENDPOINT`,
`MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME`, and `VECTOR_STORE_ID`) before running.

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient, FileSearchTool
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

def main():
# Ensure these environment variables are set:
# - PROJECT_ENDPOINT (e.g. https://your-resource.openai.azure.com)
# - MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME (your Azure OpenAI deployment)
# - VECTOR_STORE_ID (your vector store resource ID)
endpoint = os.environ["PROJECT_ENDPOINT"]
model_deployment = os.environ["MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME"]
vector_store_id = os.environ["VECTOR_STORE_ID"]

# 1. Configure the file-search tool to point at your vector store
file_search_tool = FileSearchTool(vector_store_ids=[vector_store_id])

# 2. Initialize the AIProjectClient using DefaultAzureCredential
project_client = AIProjectClient(
endpoint=endpoint,
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
)

# 3. Create the agent with file-search enabled
with project_client:
agents_client = project_client.agents
agent = agents_client.create_agent(
model=model_deployment,
name="file-search-agent",
instructions=(
"You are an agent that can search over files using the file sear
ch tool. "
"Use the tool to retrieve snippets or summaries from the indexed
files."
),
tools=[file_search_tool],
tool_resources=[file_search_tool.get_tool_resource()],
)

print(f"Created agent with ID: {agent.id}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```

**Usage**

- Install the SDK if you haven’t already:
```
pip install azure-ai-projects azure-identity
```
- Export your settings:
```bash
export PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://<your-endpoint>.openai.azure.com"
export MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="<your-deployment-name>"
export VECTOR_STORE_ID="<your-vector-store-id>"
```
- Run the script:
```bash
python create_file_search_agent.py
```

This script will create an agent named **file-search-agent** that can query your
files via the FileSearchTool. Let me know if you’d like to add more tools or cu
stomize the instructions!

It thinks more, but it seems not understanding what is “Azure AI Agent”

write a python script to create an Azure AI Agent with file search capabilities  │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

✦ Of course. I'll provide you with a Python script to provision an Azure AI solution that uses Azure AI Search for file
search capabilities, integrated with an Azure OpenAI model. This setup is often what's meant by an "AI Agent" in this
context.

This script will perform the following actions:
1. Create a resource group to hold all the services.
2. Create a storage account and a blob container, then upload a sample document.
3. Create an Azure AI Search service.
4. Create an Azure OpenAI service and deploy a gpt-4 model.
5. Configure a data source, index, and indexer in Azure AI Search to connect to your blob storage and make the files
searchable.

Here are the files I will create for you:

* create_azure_ai_agent.py: The main Python script to create and configure the Azure resources.
* requirements.txt: A file listing the necessary Python packages to run the script.
* .env: A file to store your Azure configuration securely.
* sample-docs/sample-file.txt: A sample file that will be uploaded to your storage for the search service to index.

First, here are the contents for requirements.txt.
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✔ WriteFile Writing to requirements.txt │

│ 6 azure-search-documents==11.4.0 │
│ 7 azure-storage-blob │
│ 8 python-dotenv │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
✦ Next, the .env file for your configuration.

Action Required: You will need to edit this file and replace the placeholder values with your actual Azure Subscription
ID and a unique prefix for the resources that will be created.
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✔ WriteFile Writing to .env │
│ │
│ 1 # Your Azure Subscription ID │
│ 2 AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID="<your-subscription-id>" │
│ 3 │
│ 4 # A unique prefix for all resources that will be created (e.g., "my-ai-agent") │
│ 5 # Use only lowercase letters and numbers │
│ 6 RESOURCE_PREFIX="<your-unique-resource-prefix>" │
│ 7 │
│ 8 # Azure region for deployment │
│ 9 LOCATION="eastus" │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
✦ Now, here is a sample document that the script will upload to your storage account. This will be the first file your AI
agent can search.
╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✔ Shell mkdir -p 'sample-docs' (Create a directory to hold the sample document.) │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✔ WriteFile Writing to sample-docs/sample-file.txt │
│ │
│ 1 This is a sample document about Azure AI. │
│ 2 Azure AI is a collection of artificial intelligence (AI) services and APIs from Microsoft. │
│ 3 These services allow developers to easily add AI capabilities to their applications. │
│ 4 The main services include Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and Azure AI Vision. │
│ 5 This document is intended to be indexed by Azure AI Search. │
│ 6 You can ask the AI agent questions about the content of this file. For example: "What is Azure AI?" │
╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
✦ Finally, here is the Python script that ties everything together. It will create and configure all the necessary Azure
resources for your AI agent.

✦ I have created all the necessary files for you. Here's how to use them to create your Azure AI Agent:

Prerequisites

1. Azure Subscription: You need an active Azure subscription.
2. Azure CLI: Install the Azure CLI (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli) and sign in to your
account by running:

1 az login
3. Python: Make sure you have Python 3.8 or later installed.

Setup and Execution

1. Fill in your details:
Open the .env file and replace <your-subscription-id> with your Azure Subscription ID and
<your-unique-resource-prefix> with a unique name (e.g., my-ai-agent-01).

2. Install dependencies:
Open your terminal in the project directory and run the following command to install the required Python packages:

1 pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the script:
Execute the main script from your terminal:
1 python create_azure_ai_agent.py

The script will now run and provision all the resources in your Azure account. This process can take several minutes.

Verification and Next Steps

Once the script is finished, you can go to the Azure Portal (https://portal.azure.com) to see the created resources.
You will find a new resource group (e.g., my-ai-agent-01-rg) containing your Storage Account, AI Search service, and
OpenAI service.

* Query your data: Go to your AI Search service in the portal, open the Search explorer, and select your index
(file-search-index). You can now run queries against your indexed file. For example, try searching for What is Azure
AI?.
* Add more files: To add more files to your agent's knowledge base, simply upload them to the file-storage container in
your storage account. The indexer will automatically detect and process them.
* Build a chat application: You can now build a chat application that uses the Azure OpenAI service to understand user
questions and the AI Search service to find relevant information from your files to answer them. This pattern is known
as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

# Azure AI Agent with File Search Capabilities
This Python script creates an Azure AI Agent that can search for files both in Azure Cognitive Search and locally on your
filesystem.
## Features
- Search files in Azure Cognitive Search
- Search local files based on content or filename
- Filter by file extensions
- Combine Azure and local search results

⏺ Update Todos
⎿ ☒ Set up Azure AI client libraries and dependencies
☒ Define the Azure AI Agent class
☒ Implement file search functionality
☒ Create example usage and test the agent

⏺ I've created a Python script that implements an Azure AI Agent with file search capabilities. The implementation includes:

1. azure_ai_agent.py - Main agent class with Azure and local file search functionality
2. example_usage.py - Example script showing how to use the agent
3. .env.example - Configuration template for Azure credentials
4. README.md - Documentation on setup and usage

To use the agent, install the required dependencies and configure your Azure credentials in a .env file. The agent can search
both in Azure Cognitive Search and local files, with customizable file extensions and result limits.
