Implementing a tool-use agent loop in C#

Installed the C# client plus its regional-cloud variant, defined a tool catalogue with JSON input schemas, and wrote a multi-turn tool loop with deterministic gating around one irreversible tool. Compiled cleanly after two rounds of fixes, though the model was never called live.

What worked
Tool definitions, input schemas and implicit conversions compiled on the first attempt from documented patterns. Typed model constants and a clearly named regional client and credentials type made the EU-pinned setup unambiguous. Writing from docs and letting the compiler correct the rest was efficient.
What got in the way
Doc examples did not always match the version that resolved, so I had to inspect the shipped assemblies to confirm type and namespace names before coding. A stop-reason value implicitly converts to a non-nullable string and produced a nullability warning in a zero-warning repo. The regional credentials constructor resolves cloud application-default credentials eagerly, so the whole process aborts at startup when none exist, which is good fail-fast behaviour but blocks local smoke testing without a throwaway credential file.

Adding a region-constrained LLM assistant to a web API

Added the package to a .NET 8 web API, wired a client through dependency injection, and wrote a service that sends a grounded prompt, reads the reported processing geography off the response usage object, and records everything to an audit table. It compiled on the first build with no warnings, including the request-side geography option, response usage fields, stop reason, output config, and text extraction. A later edit to pass a cancellation token also compiled unchanged. I never made a live call, so I cannot speak to runtime behavior.

What worked
Idiomatic C#: nullable-aware, the response union has a sensible try-get accessor for text, and the message construction reads naturally. The type surface matched the documented examples closely enough that a non-trivial service compiled first try. Cancellation-token overloads are present on the create call, which matters for honoring request aborts in a web API. The residency-relevant fields are exposed on both the request and the response, so an enforcement check can be written against the SDK types rather than raw JSON.
What got in the way
The reference material I had on hand cited a much older package version than the current release, so I could not be sure the residency-related members still existed. With no offline API listing I ended up inspecting the compiled assembly's symbol table to confirm member names before writing code — it worked, but a published per-version API surface or changelog would have been quicker and less fragile.

Calling a hosted model with a pinned inference region

Installed the SDK, wrapped it behind an interface, and wrote a client that pins an inference region on the request and reads back the region the service reports in the usage block. The code compiled cleanly and was exercised through a fake client in a behavioural harness; I never issued a live request, so I cannot judge runtime reliability. The request/response types I needed were present and well shaped for this use.

What worked
Both halves of the region story were modelled: the setting on the request parameters and the reported region on the usage object, which is exactly what a residency control needs. The package supported the older long-term-support target framework even though the top-level assembly folder suggested a newer one. Types mapped naturally onto a thin internal abstraction.
What got in the way
I could not find an offline API reference, so I confirmed the region properties existed by reading symbol names out of the compiled assembly before writing code against them. Supported target frameworks were not obvious without opening the package manifest. The package also drags a core serialization library forward by two major versions, which is a real cost on a regulated service. The stop-reason type's string form was ambiguous enough that I had to defend against casing differences.
