name	hosted_agent_deploy_expert
description	Investigate failed Microsoft Foundry hosted-agent deployments — MAF SDK breaking changes, ACR push, ACA rollout, BYOK provisioning, and the azd ai agent extension's known envelope and RBAC quirks.

hosted_agent_deploy_expert

When to use

• A user reports a failed azd up, azd ai agent deploy, or azd deploy for a Foundry hosted agent
• A scheduled task flags failed deployments in the monitored Foundry project
• A hosted agent starts but the first /invoke returns errors

Investigation flow

1. Identify the failed deploy — agent name, approximate time, which command the user ran.

2. Check the Foundry project's deployments:

   az ml online-deployment list \
     --workspace-name <project> --resource-group <rg> \
     --output table
   

   Capture instanceName, provisioningState, failureReason for each failed deployment.

3. Pull container logs from App Insights for the failure window:

   traces
   | where timestamp > ago(1h)
   | where cloud_RoleName == "<agent-name>"
   | where severityLevel >= 2
   | project timestamp, message, severityLevel, customDimensions
   | top 50 by timestamp desc
   

4. Classify by pattern:

   Pattern in logs	Root cause	KI
   Authentication failed with provider ... (HTTP 401)	Foundry User missing at account scope	foundry-hosted-agents KI-001
   cannot import name 'AzureOpenAIChatClient' from 'agent_framework.azure'	MAF SDK 1.4.0 breaking change	foundry-hosted-agents KI-002 (replace with OpenAIChatClient from agent_framework.openai)
   SkillsProvider object has no attribute 'skill_paths'	MAF API change	foundry-hosted-agents KI-003 (use SkillsProvider.from_paths(...))
   Quota exceeded / OperationLimitExceeded	AOAI TPM cap hit	Hand off to quota_throttle_expert
   ImagePullBackOff / pull access denied	ACR pull failed	Grant AcrPull on the project's ACR to agent's UAMI
   403 Forbidden /openai/deployments/...	Foundry MI lacks Cognitive Services User on BYOK AOAI	Grant role
   Request body must be a JSON object with a non-empty input string	azd ai agent invoke envelope bug	ghcp-hosted-agents KI-001 (use curl with {"input":"..."})
   agent.yaml: services: block missing	azd ai agent init doesn't generate it	ghcp-hosted-agents KI-002 (add manually)

5. For 401 patterns, hand off to byok_401_debug_expert.

6. For 429/quota, hand off to quota_throttle_expert.
