Code Interpreter

The following example shows how to create an agent with the Code Interpreter tool and read the generated output:

Create an agent with Code Interpreter

using System;
using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Agents.AI;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

// Requires: dotnet add package Microsoft.Agents.AI.OpenAI --prerelease
var endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")
    ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT is not set.");
var deploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME") ?? "gpt-4o-mini";

// Create an agent with the code interpreter hosted tool
AIAgent agent = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential())
    .GetChatClient(deploymentName)
    .AsAIAgent(
        instructions: "You are a helpful assistant that can write and execute Python code.",
        tools: [new CodeInterpreterToolDefinition()]);

var response = await agent.RunAsync("Calculate the factorial of 100 using code.");
Console.WriteLine(response);

Read code output

// Inspect code interpreter output from the response
foreach (var message in response.Messages)
{
    foreach (var content in message.Contents)
    {
        if (content is CodeInterpreterContent codeContent)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Code:\n{codeContent.Code}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Output:\n{codeContent.Output}");
        }
    }
}
