Azure AI foundry SDK-Tool Approval Not Triggered When Using ConnectedAgentTool() Between Agents
I am building an orchestration workflow in Azure AI Foundry using the Python SDK. Each agent uses tools exposed via an MCP server (deployed in Azure container app), and individual agents work perfectly when run independently — tool approval is triggered, and execution proceeds as expected. I have a main agent which orchestrates the flow of these individual agents.However, when I connect one agent to another using ConnectedAgentTool(), the tool approval flow never occurs, and orchestration halts. All I see is the run status as IN-PROGRESS for some time and then exits. The downstream (child) agent is never invoked. I have tried mcp_tool.set_approval_mode("never") , but that didn't help. Auto-Approval Implementation: I have implemented a polling loop that checks the run status and auto-approves any requires_action events. async def poll_run_until_complete(project_client: AIProjectClient, thread_id: str, run_id: str): """ Polls the run until completion. Auto-approves any tool calls encountered. """ while True: run = await project_client.agents.runs.get(thread_id=thread_id, run_id=run_id) status = getattr(run, "status", None) print(f"[poll] Run {run_id} status: {status}") # Completed states if status in ("succeeded", "failed", "cancelled", "completed"): print(f"[poll] Final run status: {status}") if status == "failed": print("Run last_error:", getattr(run, "last_error", None)) return run # Auto-approve any tool calls if status == "requires_action" and isinstance(getattr(run, "required_action", None), SubmitToolApprovalAction): submit_action = run.required_action.submit_tool_approval tool_calls = getattr(submit_action, "tool_calls", []) or [] if not tool_calls: print("[poll] requires_action but no tool_calls found. Waiting...") else: approvals = [] for tc in tool_calls: print(f"[poll] Auto-approving tool call: {tc.id} name={tc.name} args={tc.arguments}") approvals.append(ToolApproval(tool_call_id=tc.id, approve=True)) if approvals: await project_client.agents.runs.submit_tool_outputs( thread_id=thread_id, run_id=run_id, tool_approvals=approvals ) print("[poll] Submitted tool approvals.") else: # Debug: Inspect run steps if stuck run_steps = [s async for s in project_client.agents.run_steps.list(thread_id=thread_id, run_id=run_id)] if run_steps: for step in run_steps: sid = getattr(step, "id", None) sstatus = getattr(step, "status", None) print(f" step: id={sid} status={sstatus}") step_details = getattr(step, "step_details", None) if step_details: tool_calls = getattr(step_details, "tool_calls", None) if tool_calls: for call in tool_calls: print(f" tool_call id={getattr(call,'id',None)} name={getattr(call,'name',None)} args={getattr(call,'arguments',None)} output={getattr(call,'output',None)}") await asyncio.sleep(1) This code works and auto-approves tool calls for MCP tools. But while using ConnectedAgentTool(), the run never enters requires_action — so no approvals are requested, and the orchestration halts. Environment: azure-ai-agents==1.2.0b4 azure-ai-projects==1.1.0b4 Python: 3.11.13 Auth: DefaultAzureCredential Notes: MCP tools work and trigger approval normally when directly attached. and I ndividual agents function as expected in standalone runs. Can anyone help here..!
Azure Communication Services - Python SDK Call Media not working with CallConnectionClient
Hi team, I’m working on a FastAPI service that uses Azure Communication Services Call Automation (Python SDK) to handle outbound PSTN calls and real-time speech interaction. So far it is able to make phone calls but not able to do media handling part during conversation. Environment: Python version: 3.12-slim Package: azure-communication-callautomation (version: 1.4.0) Hosting: Azure Container Apps speech cognitive resource is connected to azure communication services https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uC2S-LNx_Ybpp1QwOCtqFS9pwA84mK7h/view?usp=drive_link What I’m trying to do: Place an outbound call to a PSTN number Play a greeting (TextSource) when the call is connected Start continuous speech recognition, forward transcript to an AI endpoint, then play the response back Code snippet: # Play greeting try: call_connection = client.get_call_connection(call_id) call_media = call_connection.call_media() call_media.play_to_all( play_source, operation_context="welcome-play" ) print("Played welcome greeting.") except Exception as e: print("Play Greeting Failed: ", str(e)) # start Recognition participants = list(call_connection.list_participants()) for p in participants: if isinstance(p.identifier, PhoneNumberIdentifier): active_participants[call_id] = p.identifier try: call_connection = client.get_call_connection(call_id) call_media = call_connection.call_media() call_media.start_recognizing_media( target_participant=p.identifier, input_type="speech", interrupt_call_media_operation=True, operation_context="speech-recognition" ) print("Started recognition immediately after call connected.") except Exception as e: print("Recognition start failed:", str(e)) break target_participant = active_participants.get(call_id) if not target_participant: print(f"No PSTN participant found for call {call_id}, skipping recognition.") Issue: When the CallConnected event fires,, I get different errors depending on which method I try: 'CallConnectionClient' object has no attribute 'call_media' 'CallConnectionClient' object has no attribute 'get_call_media_operations' 'CallConnectionClient' object has no attribute 'play_to_all' 'CallConnectionClient' object has no attribute 'get_call_media_client' 'CallConnectionClient' object has no attribute 'get_call_media' Also some import errors: ImportError: cannot import name 'PlayOptions' from 'azure.communication.callautomation' ImportError: cannot import name 'RecognizeOptions' from 'azure.communication.callautomation' ImportError: cannot import name 'CallMediaRecognizeOptions' from 'azure.communication.callautomation' ImportError: cannot import name 'CallConnection' ... Did you mean: 'CallConnectionState'? This makes me unsure which API is the correct/updated way to access play_to_all and start_recognizing_media. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xI-sWil0OKfAfGwjIgG25eD7CEK95rKc/view?usp=drive_link Questions: What is the current supported way to access call media operations (play / speech recognition) in the Python SDK? Are there breaking changes between SDK versions that I should be aware of? Should I upgrade to a specific minimum version to ensure .call_media works? Thanks in advance!
