A .NET console application demonstrating Azure AI Foundry agents with MCP tool integration for financial analysis. Creates an agent that analyzes stock sectors using web search and Alpha Vantage MCP tools to generate HTML dashboards.
This is a demo application, not an MCP server. The code shows a .NET client consuming external MCP tools (web_search, alpha_finance) via Azure AI Projects, not implementing or exposing MCP tools itself. Tool definitions are inferred from ResponseTool.CreateWebSearchTool() and ResponseTool.CreateMcpTool() calls, the actual schemas, parameter descriptions, and output structures are not visible in the source. No input validation, error handling guidance, or structured output documentation present. The two tools lack explicit schema definitions, parameter type information, and comprehensive descriptions in the code.
MCP tool for fetching live fundamentals and recent news from Alpha Vantage
Web search tool with location context (GB, London)
No input schemas visible. Tool definitions are delegated to Azure SDK ResponseTool factory methods; actual parameter types, constraints, and validation rules are not defined in source code.
Descriptions are minimal and lack actionable context. 'Web search tool with location context (GB, London)' does not explain when to use it, what it returns, or how to interpret results. 'MCP tool for fetching live fundamentals and recent news from Alpha Vantage' lacks parameter guidance and output structure.
Tool definitions are inferred from SDK factory calls, not explicitly registered with full schemas. ResponseTool.CreateMcpTool() abstracts away parameter and output documentation, making it impossible to verify schema completeness.

No error handling guidance. If web_search fails or alpha_finance returns incomplete data, the code does not document recovery steps or error classification for the LLM.
This is a demo client application, not an MCP server implementation. It consumes tools via Azure AI Projects SDK, not implements or exposes MCP tools. No MCP protocol transport, no tool registration endpoint, no schema negotiation.
