Why it matters
Microsoft's Agent Framework formalizes agent-as-architecture: tools, middleware, workflows. For .NET shops evaluating Azure AI vs. rolling-your-own, this is a rare practitioner walkthrough of actual production patterns.
The tokenmaxxing angle
Agents orchestrating tools and calling other services generate multi-step token chains. Azure AI agents add routing and middleware layers—understanding their overhead is directly relevant to inference cost modeling.
