From 30d63f6acf28044239655f5d0ac2f37e1e48bb04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Barreto <19890735+rogerbarreto@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 14:03:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] .NET: Bind tool-approval responses to surfaced approval requests Harden the tool-approval flow so an approved tool call always matches the request the framework surfaced for approval. Add ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient as the outermost decorator above FunctionInvokingChatClient. It records each model-originated ToolApprovalRequestContent in the session state and, on the next request, binds every ToolApprovalResponseContent to its recorded request: the response tool call is rebound to the recorded call, matched entries are consumed for one-time use, and only approvals tied to a framework-issued request take effect. Apply the same binding in the ToolApprovalAgent harness by tracking the requests it surfaces and binding collected responses to them during a queue cycle. Add ChatClientAgentOptions.DisableApprovalResponseBinding (default off) and a UseApprovalResponseBinding builder extension for custom chat client stacks. Includes unit tests for the decorator and the harness. --- .../ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient.cs | 363 ++++++++++++++++++ .../ChatClient/ChatClientAgentOptions.cs | 29 ++ .../ChatClient/ChatClientBuilderExtensions.cs | 39 ++ .../ChatClient/ChatClientExtensions.cs | 18 +- .../Harness/ToolApproval/ToolApprovalAgent.cs | 77 +++- .../Harness/ToolApproval/ToolApprovalState.cs | 15 + .../ApprovalResponseBindingChatClientTests.cs | 227 +++++++++++ .../ChatClient/ChatClientAgentTests.cs | 6 +- .../ToolApproval/ToolApprovalAgentTests.cs | 103 +++++ 9 files changed, 864 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI/ChatClient/ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient.cs create mode 100644 dotnet/tests/Microsoft.Agents.AI.UnitTests/ChatClient/ApprovalResponseBindingChatClientTests.cs diff --git a/dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI/ChatClient/ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient.cs b/dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI/ChatClient/ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient.cs new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..08582f25f82 --- /dev/null +++ b/dotnet/src/Microsoft.Agents.AI/ChatClient/ApprovalResponseBindingChatClient.cs @@ -0,0 +1,363 @@ +// Copyright (c) Microsoft.
