| 4 | +Bing Web Search tool using persistent agent pattern. |
| 5 | +
|
| 6 | +This module implements a web search function using Azure AI Agent Framework's |
| 7 | +persistent agent pattern. The agent is created once on the Azure AI service |
| 8 | +and reused across invocations by storing its ID at module level. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +Architecture |
| 11 | +------------ |
| 12 | +- **Persistent Agent**: Agent created on Azure AI service (store=True) |
| 13 | +- **ID Caching**: Only agent_id stored at module level, not client/agent instances |
| 14 | +- **Context Manager Cleanup**: Each call uses async context manager for client |
| 15 | +- **Service-Side Persistence**: Agent lives on Azure AI service between calls |
| 16 | +
|
| 17 | +Resource Management |
| 18 | +------------------- |
| 19 | +The pattern ensures proper resource management: |
| 20 | +1. Agent created once using async context manager (auto-cleanup of creation client) |
| 21 | +2. Agent ID stored at module level (lightweight, no cleanup needed) |
| 22 | +3. Each web_search() call creates new client context for retrieval |
| 23 | +4. Client automatically cleaned up on context exit |
| 24 | +5. Agent persists on service side for reuse |
| 25 | +
|
| 26 | +This approach avoids resource leaks while maintaining performance benefits of |
| 27 | +agent reuse, addressing feedback from PR #61. |
| 28 | +
|
| 29 | +Notes |
| 30 | +----- |
| 31 | +For production deployments with agent cleanup requirements, consider implementing |
| 32 | +an explicit cleanup function using atexit or providing a shutdown hook. |
