[2026-01-25 23:52] xenonfun: opus definately doing much better job of documenting notes on how things are done correctly: 2. **Pass tools at runtime as declaration-only** - Provides schema to LLM without auto-execution: ```csharp // SafierAgentAF.cs - AskAsync and AskStreamingAsync if (_tools.Count > 0) { var toolDeclarations = _tools .Select(t => t is AIFunction af ? af.AsDeclarationOnly() : t) .ToList(); runOptions.ChatOptions = new ChatOptions { Tools = toolDeclarations }; } ``` **Key Points**: - Agent created WITHOUT tools prevents `FunctionInvokingChatClient` middleware - Tools passed at runtime as `AIFunctionDeclaration` (schema-only, not invokable) - Framework passes `FunctionCallContent` back to our code instead of auto-executing - We handle execution manually with real-time UI callbacks - Idempotency checks still work as a safety net **Reference**: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.extensions.ai.aifunction.asdeclarationonly [2026-01-26 00:06] xenonfun: ``` What's Working - WorkflowGrain state persistence via Orleans - Sequential and concurrent workflow execution patterns - Pause/resume/cancel workflow operations - Variable substitution in step inputs - SignalR event broadcasting for status updates - UI to browse and execute workflow templates ``` we shall see [2026-01-26 00:08] xenonfun: not exactly.
