Interrogare una base di conoscenza usando l'azione di recupero o l'endpoint MCP.

• Se si utilizza l'endpoint MCP tramite l'API Responses di Azure OpenAI, sono necessari:

  • Un modello LLM distribuito e il ruolo Utente OpenAI di Servizi cognitivi, oppure una chiave API, nella risorsa Foundry. È possibile riutilizzare l'LLM e la risorsa specificata nella Knowledge Base, se applicabile.

  • Pacchetto Azure.AI.OpenAI : dotnet add package Azure.AI.OpenAI

• Pacchetto Azure.Search.Documents obbligatorio:

  • Per le funzionalità 2026-08-01-preview, il pacchetto di anteprima più recente: dotnet add package Azure.Search.Documents --prerelease

  • Per le funzionalità 2026-04-01, l’ultima versione stabile del pacchetto: dotnet add package Azure.Search.Documents

• Per l'autenticazione senza chiave, il Azure.Identity pacchetto: dotnet add package Azure.Identity

• Se si utilizza l'endpoint MCP tramite l'API Responses di Azure OpenAI, sono necessari:

  • Un modello LLM distribuito e il ruolo Utente OpenAI di Servizi cognitivi, oppure una chiave API, nella risorsa Foundry. È possibile riutilizzare l'LLM e la risorsa specificata nella Knowledge Base, se applicabile.

  • Pacchetto openai : pip install openai

• Pacchetto azure-search-documents obbligatorio:

  • Per le funzionalità 2026-08-01-preview, il pacchetto di anteprima più recente: pip install --pre azure-search-documents

  • Per le funzionalità 2026-04-01, l’ultima versione stabile del pacchetto: pip install azure-search-documents

• Per l'autenticazione senza chiave, il azure-identity pacchetto: pip install azure-identity

• Versione dell'API REST del servizio di ricerca obbligatoria:

  • Per le funzionalità di anteprima: 2026-08-01-preview

  • Per le funzionalità disponibili a livello generale: 2026-04-01

• Per l'autenticazione senza chiave, includere un token Microsoft Entra ID nell'intestazione Authorization di ogni richiesta HTTP.
