azure-ai-agentserver-agentframework dependency issues with Agent-Framework #45224
Description
- Package Name: azure-ai-agentserver-agentframework
- Package Version: 1.0.0b12
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Python Version: 3.12.10
Describe the bug
Please remove or the upper limit version of Agent-Framework to a more recent version of the package. Currently you constrain the version of Agent-Framework to "agent-framework-core>=1.0.0b251112,<=1.0.0b260107".
This means the highest version of agent framework we can use to deploy as a hosted agent to Foundry is 1.0.0b260107. This is not ideal, because crucial bug fixes have been made since then. For example, you have to use the most recent versions of Agent-Framework to connect to foundry hosted MCP servers like M365Profile. See here for more info: microsoft/agent-framework#3504.
Also, for me to understand this limitation I had to dig deep into random branches until I found this PR which has the latest 1.0.0b12 version: #43930. Please merge this into the main branch soon.
I would really appreciate it if there was a common deployment cycle between this package and Agent-Framework. Since it's no use leveraging the new features in Agent-Framework if you cannot deploy it as a hosted agent inside of Foundry using azure-ai-agentserver-agentframework. I know both are not ready for production yet. But having the opportunity to test deployments and get early user feedback while these packages continue to mature would be very helpful before a full general availability release.
Thanks for your help! :)
