-## Middleware Pipeline
-
-Three middleware types intercept agent behavior at different layers:
-
-| Type | Intercepts | Use Case |
-|------|-----------|----------|
-| **Agent Run** | Full agent invocation | Logging, auth, rate limiting |
-| **Function Calling** | Individual tool calls | Error handling, validation, auditing |
-| **IChatClient** | Raw LLM calls | Telemetry, caching, content filtering |
-
-### Agent Run Middleware
-
-```csharp
-async Task<AgentResponse> LoggingMiddleware(
-    IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-    AgentSession? session,
-    AgentRunOptions? options,
-    AIAgent innerAgent,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-{
-    Console.WriteLine($"Input messages: {messages.Count()}");
-    var response = await innerAgent.RunAsync(messages, session, options, cancellationToken);
-    Console.WriteLine($"Output messages: {response.Messages.Count}");
-    return response;
-}
-```
-
-### Function Calling Middleware (Error Handling)
-
-```csharp
-async ValueTask<object?> ErrorHandlingMiddleware(
-    AIAgent agent,
-    FunctionInvocationContext context,
-    Func<FunctionInvocationContext, CancellationToken, ValueTask<object?>> next,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-{
-    try
-    {
-        Console.WriteLine($"Calling: {context.Function.Name}");
-        var result = await next(context, cancellationToken);
-        Console.WriteLine($"Result: {result}");
-        return result;
-    }
-    catch (Exception ex)
-    {
-        // Return error message the agent can understand
-        return $"Error calling {context.Function.Name}: {ex.Message}. Try a different approach.";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### IChatClient Middleware
-
-```csharp
-async Task<ChatResponse> TelemetryMiddleware(
-    IEnumerable<ChatMessage> messages,
-    ChatOptions? options,
-    IChatClient innerChatClient,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-{
-    var sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
-    var response = await innerChatClient.GetResponseAsync(messages, options, cancellationToken);
-    sw.Stop();
-
-    Console.WriteLine($"LLM call: {sw.ElapsedMilliseconds}ms, Tokens: {response.Usage?.TotalTokenCount}");
-    return response;
-}
-```
-
-### Registering Middleware
-
-```csharp
-// On an existing agent
-var middlewareAgent = originalAgent
-    .AsBuilder()
-        .Use(runFunc: LoggingMiddleware, runStreamingFunc: LoggingStreamingMiddleware)
-        .Use(ErrorHandlingMiddleware)  // Function calling
-    .Build();
-
-// On the chat client (before agent creation)
-var chatClient = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential())
-    .GetChatClient(deploymentName)
-    .AsIChatClient()
-    .AsBuilder()
-        .Use(getResponseFunc: TelemetryMiddleware, getStreamingResponseFunc: null)
-    .Build();
-
-// Via factory method on AsAIAgent
-var agent = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential())
-    .GetChatClient(deploymentName)
-    .AsAIAgent("You are a helpful assistant.", clientFactory: (chatClient) => chatClient
-        .AsBuilder()
-            .Use(getResponseFunc: TelemetryMiddleware, getStreamingResponseFunc: null)
-        .Build());
-```
-
-**Important:** If only non-streaming middleware is provided, streaming calls run in non-streaming mode.
-

-
-## A2A Protocol (Agent-to-Agent)
-
-Expose agents as interoperable web services using the standardized A2A protocol.
-
-### Packages
-
-```xml
-<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Agents.AI.Hosting.A2A.AspNetCore" Version="1.0.0-preview.*" />
-```
-
-### Expose Agent via A2A
-
-```csharp
-// Program.cs
-var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
-
-IChatClient chatClient = new AzureOpenAIClient(
-        new Uri(endpoint), new DefaultAzureCredential())
-    .GetChatClient(deploymentName)
-    .AsIChatClient();
-builder.Services.AddSingleton(chatClient);
-
-// Register agents
-var mathAgent = builder.AddAIAgent("math", instructions: "You are a math expert.");
-var historyAgent = builder.AddAIAgent("history", instructions: "You are a history expert.");
-
-var app = builder.Build();
-
-// Expose via A2A protocol
-app.MapA2A(mathAgent, path: "/a2a/math", agentCard: new()
-{
-    Name = "Math Agent",
-    Description = "Expert in mathematics and calculations.",
-    Version = "1.0"
-});
-
-app.MapA2A(historyAgent, path: "/a2a/history", agentCard: new()
-{
-    Name = "History Agent",
-    Description = "Expert in world history.",
-    Version = "1.0"
-});
-
-app.Run();
-```
-
-### Agent Card Discovery
-
-```
-GET /a2a/math/v1/card    → Returns agent metadata (name, description, capabilities)
-POST /a2a/math/v1/message:stream  → Send message, get streaming response
-```
-
-### A2A Key Features
-
-| Feature | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| Agent Discovery | Standardized Agent Cards with metadata |
-| Cross-Framework | .NET agent can talk to Python agent and vice versa |
-| Context Persistence | `contextId` maintains conversation across messages |
-| Streaming | Server-Sent Events for real-time responses |
-| Long-Running Tasks | Async task support for extended operations |
-
----
-
-## MCP Integration (Model Context Protocol)
-
-Connect agents to external tools and data sources via MCP servers.
-
-### Package
-
-```bash
-dotnet add package ModelContextProtocol --prerelease
-```
-
-### Use MCP Tools in an Agent
-
-```csharp
-using ModelContextProtocol;
-using ModelContextProtocol.Client;
-
-// Connect to an MCP server (e.g., GitHub)
-await using var mcpClient = await McpClientFactory.CreateAsync(
-    new StdioClientTransport(new()
-    {
-        Name = "GitHubServer",
-        Command = "npx",
-        Arguments = ["-y", "--verbose", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
-    }));
-
-// Get available tools
-var mcpTools = await mcpClient.ListToolsAsync();
-
-// Create agent with MCP tools
-AIAgent agent = chatClient.AsAIAgent(
-    instructions: "You answer questions about GitHub repositories.",
-    tools: [.. mcpTools.Cast<AITool>()]);
-
-Console.WriteLine(await agent.RunAsync(
-    "Summarize the last 4 commits to microsoft/agent-framework"));
-```
-
-### Popular MCP Servers
-
-| Server | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-github` | GitHub repos, issues, PRs |
-| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem` | File system operations |
-| `@modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite` | SQLite database access |
-| Azure MCP Server | Azure resource management |

-## Caching Patterns for AI
-
-### Semantic Caching (Redis)
-
-Cache LLM responses by semantic similarity — avoid repeated inference costs.
-
-```csharp
-public async Task<string?> GetCachedResponseAsync(string question)
-{
-    var questionEmbedding = await _embedding.GenerateAsync(question);
-
-    var results = await _redis.ExecuteAsync("FT.SEARCH",
-        "idx:semantic_cache",
-        $"*=>[KNN 1 @embedding $vec AS score]",
-        "PARAMS", "2", "vec", questionEmbedding.ToByteArray(),
-        "SORTBY", "score", "DIALECT", "2");
-
-    if (results.Score < 0.95)  // 95% similar
-        return results.Response;
-
-    return null;  // Cache miss
-}
-```
-
-**Cost savings:** Embedding call ~$0.0001/1K tokens vs inference ~$0.01-0.03/1K tokens = **100-300x savings**.
-
-### Hybrid Cache (L1 + L2)
-
-```csharp
-// Program.cs
-builder.Services.AddHybridCache(options =>
-{
-    options.DefaultEntryOptions = new HybridCacheEntryOptions
-    {
-        Expiration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10),
-        LocalCacheExpiration = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)
-    };
-});
-
-// Usage — tool with caching
-[Description("Gets weather for a location")]
-public async Task<WeatherResponse> GetWeatherAsync(
-    string location, string date, CancellationToken ct)
-{
-    return await _cache.GetOrCreateAsync(
-        $"weather:{location}:{date}",
-        async token => await FetchFromApiAsync(location, date, token),
-        cancellationToken: ct);
-}
-```
-
-| Level | Location | Speed | Scope |
-|-------|----------|-------|-------|
-| L1 | Process memory | Fastest | Per instance |
-| L2 | Redis | Very fast | Distributed |
-
-### MCP Tool Routing Cache
-
-Store tool description embeddings in Redis. On user query, find relevant tools by vector similarity — reduces tokens sent to LLM.
-
----
-
-## Observability
-
-### OpenTelemetry Integration
-
-```csharp
-// Enable on individual agents
-agent.WithOpenTelemetry();
-
-// Program.cs — full setup
-builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
-    .WithTracing(tracing =>
-    {
-        tracing.AddSource("Experimental.Microsoft.Extensions.AI.*");
-        tracing.AddSource(builder.Environment.ApplicationName);
-        tracing.AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation();
-        tracing.AddHttpClientInstrumentation();
-    })
-    .WithMetrics(metrics =>
-    {
-        metrics.AddMeter("Experimental.Microsoft.Extensions.AI.*");
-        metrics.AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation();
-        metrics.AddHttpClientInstrumentation();
-        metrics.AddRuntimeInstrumentation();
-    });
-
-// Enable sensitive data in development
-builder.AddAzureChatCompletionsClient("chat", settings =>
-{
-    settings.EnableSensitiveTelemetryData = builder.Environment.IsDevelopment();
-});
-```
-
-### Aspire Dashboard
-
-Visualizes agent traces including:
-- Full conversation flow between agents
-- Tool call cycles (Model → Tool → Model)
-- Token usage and latency per call
-- Error traces and retry patterns
-
-```csharp
-// AppHost/Program.cs
-var redis = builder.AddAzureRedisEnterprise("cache");
-var api = builder.AddProject<Projects.Api>().WithReference(redis);
-```
-
-### What to Monitor
-
-| Metric | Purpose | Alert Threshold |
-|--------|---------|----------------|
-| Token usage per request | Cost control | > 10K tokens/request |
-| Latency per agent call | Performance | > 5s for simple tasks |
-| Tool call failure rate | Reliability | > 5% failures |
-| Cache hit rate | Cost optimization | < 50% (tune strategy) |
-| Model drift | Quality | Evaluation score drop > 10% |
-
----
-
-## Error Handling Strategy
-
-### Centralized via Middleware
-
-```csharp
-// Function calling middleware catches tool errors
-async ValueTask<object?> ResilientToolMiddleware(
-    AIAgent agent,
-    FunctionInvocationContext context,
-    Func<FunctionInvocationContext, CancellationToken, ValueTask<object?>> next,
-    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
-{
-    try
-    {
-        return await next(context, cancellationToken);
-    }
-    catch (HttpRequestException ex) when (ex.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.TooManyRequests)
-    {
-        // Rate limit — return friendly message so agent can retry
-        return "Service is temporarily busy. Please try again in a moment.";
-    }
-    catch (TimeoutException)
-    {
-        return $"Tool '{context.Function.Name}' timed out. Try a simpler query.";
-    }
-    catch (Exception ex)
-    {
-        // Log and return error context to agent
-        return $"Error in {context.Function.Name}: {ex.Message}";
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### HAX Framework Principles for Production
-
-| Principle | Implementation |
-|-----------|---------------|
-| Progressive disclosure | Start simple, add detail on request |
-| Transparent agency | Log and expose agent decisions |
-| Failure visibility | Never silently swallow errors |
-| Intervention opportunities | HITL checkpoints when confidence is low |

-## Security Checklist
-
-- [ ] API keys in Key Vault (never in appsettings)
-- [ ] Managed Identity for Azure services
-- [ ] Input validation middleware (PII detection, injection prevention)
-- [ ] Output filtering (guardrails for harmful content)
-- [ ] Typed message edges for data isolation between agents
-- [ ] Rate limiting middleware on public-facing agents
-- [ ] A2A endpoints behind authentication
