Problem

Hi, I'm connecting to my own OpenAI private endpoint using Azure. I can chat with the model without any issues but the agent mode is not supported. Is this a feature or is there a way to configure agents using Azure?

I have noticed agent mode becomes available if I switch the provider from "azure" to "openai" but then the model becomes unavailable.

Hi, I am also facing the same issue. Is there any workaround that you have found yet ?

@sestinj, is there any workaround ?

If you're building the extension by yourself, you can add the following lines

  azure: (model) => {
    return PROVIDER_TOOL_SUPPORT.openai(model);
  },

to "toolSupport.ts" and might add azure to some of the lists within "autodetect.ts" where openai is listed. Agents should then become available.

I've been struggling with this for the past couple of days. Can we push this through?

Edit: went ahead and did it myself

Hi @muliyul, that a really great job. i was trying to make a build with this enhancement but faced lots of EPERM errors, i succeed but the agent mode was still disabled, but in debug mode it was working seamlessly. I think there are some issues with the build process. I would really appreciate if you can send the working build in this thread. This will help me a lot.

@abhishek-zycus Sorry I don't have a working build.
EPERM usually means that you don't have sufficient permissions. See this related thread.
