AI Foundry Agent: Missing required parameter: 'tools[1].memory_store_id'.

Hi AyusmanBasu-6332,

I see you're running into a tricky issue with the AI Foundry Agent regarding the tools parameter. That's certainly frustrating, especially when dealing with differences between preview features and stable ones!

1. Difference between File Search and Memory Store

• The Memory tool, however, requires a memory_store.id, which is a different resource and is currently in preview. At this time, the SDK doesn't provide a way to directly attach it as a standard tool to an agent in the same way as other supported tools.
• The File Search tool requires a vector_store_id. This is documented here:: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/agents/how-to/tools/file-search?view=foundry&tabs=python&pivots=python
• The recommended approach is to create an agent with the Microsoft Fabric tool enabled. Here is supported documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-foundry/agents/how-to/tools/fabric?view=foundry-classic&pivots=python#create-an-agent-with-the-microsoft-fabric-tool-enabled

You can list all memory stores in your project and retrieve their respective IDs using the following Python code:

# Before running:
#   pip install --pre azure-ai-projects>=2.0.0b1
#   pip install azure-identity

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient

# Your Project Endpoint
myEndpoint = "https://<YOUR-RESOURCE-NAME>.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/<NAME-OF-PROJECT>"

# Create Project Client
project_client = AIProjectClient(
    endpoint=myEndpoint,
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
)

# List All Memory Stores in the Project
print("\n=== MEMORY STORES IN PROJECT ===\n")

memory_stores = project_client.memory_stores.list()

found_any = False
for store in memory_stores:
    found_any = True
    print(f"Name:        {store.name}")
    print(f"ID:          {store.id}")
    
    # Some SDK versions include description, some don’t
    if hasattr(store, "description"):
        print(f"Description: {store.description}")
    
    print("-" * 50)

if not found_any:
    print(" No memory stores found in this project.")

print("\n Done.")

Let me know if you are still facing issues.

Hey @Aryan Parashar I just wanted to know whether we can use the Memory store directly from the Foundry Agent UI? I am aware of the SDK part.
