azure-ai-projects SDK Overview

💻 The Foundry SDK 8 min 70 BASE XP

One SDK to Rule Them All

The azure-ai-projects SDK (v2.x) is the definitively unified entry point for all Foundry capabilities. As of early 2026, the legacy azure-ai-agents dependency was completely removed, unifying agents, inference, evaluations, and memory natively under the AIProjectClient.

Installation

LanguagePackageInstall Command
Pythonazure-ai-projectspip install azure-ai-projects>=2.0.0
.NETAzure.AI.Projectsdotnet add package Azure.AI.Projects
JavaScript@azure/ai-projectsnpm install @azure/ai-projects

Key SDK Capabilities

  • Model Inference — Chat completions, embeddings via OpenAI-compatible interface
  • Agent Management — Create, configure, and run AI agents natively
  • Evaluation — Run quality and safety evaluations programmatically
  • Connections — Access linked Azure resources (AI Search, Storage)
🚧 Important Lifecycle Notice: The legacy AzureML SDK v1 is scheduled for End-of-Life (EOL) on June 30, 2026. All active projects must migrate to the v2 SDK (azure-ai-projects) to maintain support.
