Integrating Microsoft Foundry with OpenClaw: Step by Step Model Configuration
Step 1: Deploying Models on Microsoft Foundry Let us kick things off in the Azure portal. To get our OpenClaw agent thinking like a genius, we need to deploy our models in Microsoft Foundry. For this guide, we are going to focus on deploying gpt-5.2-codex on Microsoft Foundry with OpenClaw. Navigate to your AI Hub, head over to the model catalog, choose the model you wish to use with OpenClaw and hit deploy. Once your deployment is successful, head to the endpoints section. Important: Grab your Endpoint URL and your API Keys right now and save them in a secure note. We will need these exact values to connect OpenClaw in a few minutes. Step 2: Installing and Initializing OpenClaw Next up, we need to get OpenClaw running on your machine. Open up your terminal and run the official installation script: curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash The wizard will walk you through a few prompts. Here is exactly how to answer them to link up with our Azure setup: First Page (Model Selection): Choose "Skip for now". Second Page (Provider): Select azure-openai-responses. Model Selection: Select gpt-5.2-codex , For now only the models listed (hosted on Microsoft Foundry) in the picture below are available to be used with OpenClaw. Follow the rest of the standard prompts to finish the initial setup. Step 3: Editing the OpenClaw Configuration File Now for the fun part. We need to manually configure OpenClaw to talk to Microsoft Foundry. Open your configuration file located at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json in your favorite text editor. Replace the contents of the models and agents sections with the following code block: { "models": { "providers": { "azure-openai-responses": { "baseUrl": "https://<YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME>.openai.azure.com/openai/v1", "apiKey": "<YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY>", "api": "openai-responses", "authHeader": false, "headers": { "api-key": "<YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY>" }, "models": [ { "id": "gpt-5.2-codex", "name": "GPT-5.2-Codex (Azure)", "reasoning": true, "input": ["text", "image"], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 400000, "maxTokens": 16384, "compat": { "supportsStore": false } }, { "id": "gpt-5.2", "name": "GPT-5.2 (Azure)", "reasoning": false, "input": ["text", "image"], "cost": { "input": 0, "output": 0, "cacheRead": 0, "cacheWrite": 0 }, "contextWindow": 272000, "maxTokens": 16384, "compat": { "supportsStore": false } } ] } } }, "agents": { "defaults": { "model": { "primary": "azure-openai-responses/gpt-5.2-codex" }, "models": { "azure-openai-responses/gpt-5.2-codex": {} }, "workspace": "/home/<USERNAME>/.openclaw/workspace", "compaction": { "mode": "safeguard" }, "maxConcurrent": 4, "subagents": { "maxConcurrent": 8 } } } } You will notice a few placeholders in that JSON. Here is exactly what you need to swap out: Placeholder Variable What It Is Where to Find It <YOUR_RESOURCE_NAME> The unique name of your Azure OpenAI resource. Found in your Azure Portal under the Azure OpenAI resource overview. <YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY> The secret key required to authenticate your requests. Found in Microsoft Foundry under your project endpoints or Azure Portal keys section. <USERNAME> Your local computer's user profile name. Open your terminal and type whoami to find this. Step 4: Restart the Gateway After saving the configuration file, you must restart the OpenClaw gateway for the new Foundry settings to take effect. Run this simple command: openclaw gateway restart Configuration Notes & Deep Dive If you are curious about why we configured the JSON that way, here is a quick breakdown of the technical details. Authentication Differences Azure OpenAI uses the api-key HTTP header for authentication. This is entirely different from the standard OpenAI Authorization: Bearer header. Our configuration file addresses this in two ways: Setting "authHeader": false completely disables the default Bearer header. Adding "headers": { "api-key": "<key>" } forces OpenClaw to send the API key via Azure's native header format. Important Note: Your API key must appear in both the apiKey field AND the headers.api-key field within the JSON for this to work correctly. The Base URL Azure OpenAI's v1-compatible endpoint follows this specific format: https://<your_resource_name>.openai.azure.com/openai/v1 The beautiful thing about this v1 endpoint is that it is largely compatible with the standard OpenAI API and does not require you to manually pass an api-version query parameter. Model Compatibility Settings "compat": { "supportsStore": false } disables the store parameter since Azure OpenAI does not currently support it. "reasoning": true enables the thinking mode for GPT-5.2-Codex. This supports low, medium, high, and xhigh levels. "reasoning": false is set for GPT-5.2 because it is a standard, non-reasoning model. Model Specifications & Cost Tracking If you want OpenClaw to accurately track your token usage costs, you can update the cost fields from 0 to the current Azure pricing. Here are the specs and costs for the models we just deployed: Model Specifications Model Context Window Max Output Tokens Image Input Reasoning gpt-5.2-codex 400,000 tokens 16,384 tokens Yes Yes gpt-5.2 272,000 tokens 16,384 tokens Yes No Current Cost (Adjust in JSON) Model Input (per 1M tokens) Output (per 1M tokens) Cached Input (per 1M tokens) gpt-5.2-codex $1.75 $14.00 $0.175 gpt-5.2 $2.00 $8.00 $0.50 Conclusion: And there you have it! You have successfully bridged the gap between the enterprise-grade infrastructure of Microsoft Foundry and the local autonomy of OpenClaw. By following these steps, you are not just running a chatbot; you are running a sophisticated agent capable of reasoning, coding, and executing tasks with the full power of GPT-5.2-codex behind it. The combination of Azure's reliability and OpenClaw's flexibility opens up a world of possibilities. Whether you are building an automated devops assistant, a research agent, or just exploring the bleeding edge of AI, you now have a robust foundation to build upon. Now it is time to let your agent loose on some real tasks. Go forth, experiment with different system prompts, and see what you can build. If you run into any interesting edge cases or come up with a unique configuration, let me know in the comments below. Happy coding!

SharePoint Embedded is a fully managed, cloud-based, API-only document management system that lets you securely integrate your custom web or mobile apps, whether built on Azure or other clouds, with Microsoft 365 file storage. It’s especially ideal for ISVs building multi-tenant apps because content stays within each customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant. Design apps that include Microsoft 365 Copilot and agent capabilities, connected Office experiences like Word, and Microsoft Purview compliance and data protection, all within your own user experience. Use built-in retrieval augmented generation (RAG) or bring your own models to create intelligent, secure solutions that reason over your business content, support real-time co-authoring, and scale with granular permissions and storage control. Jeremy Chapman, Microsoft 365 Director, shares how to build intelligent, secure solutions that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 content and services. No data movement & no loss of control.

That’s where SharePoint Embedded comes in. Microsoft SharePoint Embedded is a cloud-based document management system. As an API only solution, it lets you as a developer connect the apps that you might be building on Azure or in other clouds securely to the Microsoft 365 file and document storage platform. And this is also an advantage if you’re an ISV who’s building multi-tenant apps because the content stays within your customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant. SharePoint Embedded lets you integrate Microsoft 365 capabilities into your apps, including Microsoft 365 Copilot and agent capabilities, connected Office app experiences like Word and other familiar apps, as well as Microsoft Purview data security and compliance controls. -So you can build generative AI and agent-based solutions using built-in retrieval augmented generation without needing to move your business documents outside of your Microsoft 365 boundary. SharePoint Embedded is also fully managed, so you don’t need to worry about provisioning or managing the underlying compute and infrastructure. And this works with your own web front ends and logic. Let me show you an example. So this is a specialized contract management app that curates case files, which are stored in SharePoint Embedded. Notice this isn’t a SharePoint created site. It’s our own custom application. It’s our own user experience and it’s on our own domain. You’ll see that I need to connect to Microsoft 365 with my user account because the file access is based on my unique set of permissions like I would have if I was running this in Microsoft 365 or an Office app. -This is a one-time connection performed by an end user account, and previously to build an app like this, you would need to send those files to another document management or storage location, maybe like Azure Blob storage or another cloud service where the classifications, protections and permissions for those files would effectively get lost. And once I’m securely signed in, I can see the documents that I have permissions to access within the app and that I want my AI app to reason over. I can also upload or add cloud files from SharePoint, OneDrive, or third party locations into my app, and these files, if not previously on SharePoint or OneDrive will get stored in SharePoint Embedded containers in my tenant. And behind the scenes, these files are indexed at upload time for AI reasoning using embeddings for vector-based search, and the vector index itself is also within my Microsoft 365 tenant. -Here, we’re also using Microsoft 365 Copilot’s orchestration within the app for retrieval augmented generation to respond to my prompts. Alternatively, you can also leverage your own foundational models while leveraging Copilot’s vector search and retrieval, and that way, your content and associated indexes stay within your compliance boundary. The app is designed so that the manual work of rationalizing and processing proposals and legal documents can be done in a fraction of the time using AI. So I can use the custom starter prompts on the top with this agent or write my own prompts. -Here, I’m going to ask it to summarize the proposals by uptime and hourly rates. And as it responds, you’ll see a summary of the uploaded and attached files. Using this app’s custom instructions, it knows exactly how to respond with the right voice and format. Everything in this response is grounded on our information in SharePoint Embedded and contextualized to our application. It’s also fully integrated with familiar Office app experiences, so when I click into any of these documents, the app can open them directly in their respective apps on desktop, web and mobile. And because it’s powered by SharePoint, you can also do real-time co-authoring, also commenting and sharing, and it works with over 300 different file types. And I can even access this as an agent using Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, like I’m doing here with my prompt, looking for information from the same SharePoint Embedded container that I showed earlier. You now have the flexibility for how you want to design your apps and their information architecture while maintaining data security and permission controls over the underlying files. -So let me explain how this works. When you have an app that uses SharePoint Embedded in your Microsoft 365 tenant, SharePoint Embedded creates another partition within your tenant. The storage partition is headless and doesn’t have a user experience so you can develop your own. Within it, the documents you upload go into that storage partition and they’re only accessible via APIs. In that partition, documents are accessible to the custom app or agent while residing in your own Microsoft 365 tenant and to limit per app access within this new storage partition, a SharePoint Embedded app can create multiple file storage containers to store content where each container can have its own unique permissions. So the app that uses SharePoint Embedded has full control over the containers and the documents within them. -And if you’re a developer, let me show you how you can build an app like this. So I’m in Visual Studio Code. And the first thing that you’ll need to do is provision a container, and containers within SharePoint Embedded are tied to the app that creates them. Next, your application will need to integrate with Microsoft Entra for authentication for the signed in user to access files in that storage location. Again, because this is powered by SharePoint, you can build in all the granular access controls all the way down to the individual file level. And because this also leverages Microsoft Graph, you can use Graph APIs to directly access files in your SharePoint Embedded containers. This uses the same file operations that you have across Microsoft 365, except they’re scoped to your app that uses SharePoint Embedded. That means that anything that you can use with Graph APIs can also be used in your SharePoint Embedded apps. -And related to that, you can also use the Microsoft 365 Copilot retrieval API, so that you can leverage built-in RAG for your own custom orchestration and have full control over the experience, or you can use what’s built in, like I showed before. In fact, this is the code for the AI component of our app where we’ve defined the information locations to ground responses and the theming of the sidebar so it matches your app, the suggested prompts that are presented as starter recommendations for users and the meta prompt to customize the voice, tone, format and other aspects of generated responses. -Importantly, your application gets the full Microsoft Purview security and compliance capabilities, which include detailed auditing for all SharePoint Embedded app interactions, data loss prevention, or DLP policy integration to protect sensitive and high value information and information protection controls to identify and protect other classified content. Your containers can be managed from the SharePoint admin center, where you can also apply default sensitivity labels for each container to protect the content within it. -Again, any security and compliance controls that you can apply to your SharePoint sites can also be leveraged by your SharePoint Embedded app. SharePoint Embedded is an Azure service that’s billed based on consumption for storage, transactions and Copilot interactions. When you set up SharePoint Embedded for the first time in the Microsoft 365 admin center, under Org settings, you’ll enable it as a pay-as-you-go service in one billing policy where you’ll define your Azure subscription, your resource group, and your region. Now you’re ready. And the good news is, as a developer, you can get started right away using the Visual Studio extension for SharePoint Embedded. -To find out more about that and build your first agent, check out aka.ms/SPEAgent and keep watching Microsoft Mechanics for the latest tech updates.
