Microsoft Agent Framework

Microsoft Agent Framework unifies the AutoGen and Semantic Kernel lineages into an open-source SDK for agents and graph-based workflows, including state, middleware, human approval and MCP/A2A interoperability [src-252].

Enterprise assessment

  • Strength: broad orchestration primitives and a natural path into Azure-hosted services.
  • Watch-out: the unified framework is comparatively young, so migration and API maturity remain roadmap risks.
