Context:

Agentic AI promises to transform how organizations accomplish many daily tasks.  Some tasks we are asking an AI Agent to accomplish may require additional privileged credentials on top of the permissions required for its operation.

In this guide, we look at how Azure AI Foundry Agents can leverage the Password Safe toolkit for Azure AI Foundry to provide privileged credentials.

The Password Safe toolkit for Azure AI Foundry is available for authenticated users here:  

The toolkit includes a python project for creating Azure Functions that AI Foundry can make available to AI Agents as tools.  

The toolkit also includes some examples that do not require Azure Functions and can be implemented as OpenAPI tools for Agents.

Note:  AI Foundry agents have some limitations when it comes to extracting information from http request headers, or creating http response headers. Typically authentication for OAuth with Bearer token or Cookies will need Azure Function to move this information to request and response JSON body.

More examples will be made available in coming weeks.  Stay tuned !
