🎯 Overview

This guide shows you how to integrate your Neo4j RAG system (with 30,006 chunks from 12 documents) with Azure AI Foundry using the official Python SDK.

What You'll Build:

• Python client that connects to Azure AI Foundry
• Custom agent with Neo4j RAG tool integration
• Production-ready assistant with 417x performance optimization
• Programmatic control over agent configuration and testing

Benefits of Python SDK:

• ✅ Programmatic configuration (vs manual UI)
• ✅ Version control for agent definitions
• ✅ Automated testing and CI/CD integration
• ✅ Local development and debugging
• ✅ Easy iteration and updates

🛠️ Tool Integration

Connecting Neo4j RAG as Custom Tools

Azure AI Foundry can call your RAG service endpoints as custom tools/functions. Two approaches:

Approach 1: OpenAPI Function Calling (Recommended)

File: docs/AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_OPENAPI_SPEC.yaml (already created!)

Upload this spec in Azure AI Foundry UI, and the assistant will automatically:

1. Recognize when to call tools
2. Make HTTP requests to your RAG service
3. Process responses
4. Synthesize answers

Endpoints Called:

• POST /query → search_knowledge_base(question, k)
• GET /stats → get_statistics()
• GET /health → check_system_health()

Service URL:

• Local (testing): http://localhost:8000 (via ngrok)
• Azure (production): https://neo4j-rag-agent.yellowtree-8fdce811.swedencentral.azurecontainerapps.io

Approach 2: Python SDK Tool Handler (Advanced)

Implement tool call handling in your Python client:

def handle_tool_call(run, thread_id):
    """Handle function calls from assistant"""

    if run.status == "requires_action":
        tool_calls = run.required_action.submit_tool_outputs.tool_calls
        tool_outputs = []

        for tool_call in tool_calls:
            function_name = tool_call.function.name
            arguments = json.loads(tool_call.function.arguments)

            # Call your RAG service
            if function_name == "search_knowledge_base":
                result = call_rag_api("/query", arguments)
                output = json.dumps(result)
            elif function_name == "get_statistics":
                result = call_rag_api("/stats", {})
                output = json.dumps(result)
            elif function_name == "check_system_health":
                result = call_rag_api("/health", {})
                output = json.dumps(result)
            else:
                output = json.dumps({"error": "Unknown function"})

            tool_outputs.append({
                "tool_call_id": tool_call.id,
                "output": output
            })

        # Submit tool outputs
        client.agents.submit_tool_outputs(
            thread_id=thread_id,
            run_id=run.id,
            tool_outputs=tool_outputs
        )

def call_rag_api(endpoint: str, data: dict) -> dict:
    """Call local RAG service API"""
    import requests

    base_url = os.getenv("RAG_SERVICE_URL", "http://localhost:8000")
    url = f"{base_url}{endpoint}"

    if endpoint == "/query":
        response = requests.post(url, json=data)
    else:
        response = requests.get(url)

    return response.json()

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue 1: "DefaultAzureCredential failed to retrieve token"

Solution:

# Login with Azure CLI
az login

# Verify login
az account show

# Set subscription
az account set --subscription YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_ID

Issue 2: "Assistant not found"

Solution:

# List all assistants
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

client = AIProjectClient(
    endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT"),
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

assistants = client.agents.list_assistants()
for assistant in assistants.data:
    print(f"ID: {assistant.id}, Name: {assistant.name}")

Issue 3: "Tools not being called"

Causes:

1. OpenAPI spec not uploaded
2. RAG service URL not accessible
3. Function descriptions not clear

Debug:

# Check run details for tool calls
run = client.agents.get_run(thread_id=thread_id, run_id=run_id)
print(f"Status: {run.status}")
print(f"Last error: {run.last_error}")

if run.required_action:
    print("Tool calls:")
    for tc in run.required_action.submit_tool_outputs.tool_calls:
        print(f"  - {tc.function.name}({tc.function.arguments})")

Issue 4: "Module not found: azure.ai.projects"

Solution:

# Ensure SDK is installed
pip install azure-ai-projects --upgrade

# Verify installation
python -c "import azure.ai.projects; print(azure.ai.projects.__version__)"

📊 Monitoring & Observability

Track Performance

🎯 Best Practices

1. Error Handling

from azure.core.exceptions import AzureError, HttpResponseError

try:
    result = client.agents.create_run(...)
except HttpResponseError as e:
    if e.status_code == 429:  # Rate limit
        print("Rate limited, waiting...")
        time.sleep(60)
    elif e.status_code == 404:  # Not found
        print("Assistant not found, check ID")
    else:
        raise
except AzureError as e:
    print(f"Azure error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

2. Thread Management

# Reuse threads for related conversations
def conversation_session(client, assistant_id):
    """Maintain context across multiple messages"""

    thread = client.agents.create_thread()

    messages = [
        "What is Neo4j?",
        "Tell me more about its performance",  # Uses context
        "How does it compare to MongoDB?"  # Uses context
    ]

    for msg in messages:
        client.agents.create_message(thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content=msg)
        run = client.agents.create_run(thread_id=thread.id, assistant_id=assistant_id)
        # ... wait and get response

    return thread.id  # Can resume later

3. Async Operations (Advanced)

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

async def async_chat(message: str):
    """Async chat for concurrent processing"""

    async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
        async with AIProjectClient(
            endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT"),
            credential=credential
        ) as client:

            thread = await client.agents.create_thread()

            await client.agents.create_message(
                thread_id=thread.id,
                role="user",
                content=message
            )

            run = await client.agents.create_run(
                thread_id=thread.id,
                assistant_id=os.getenv("AZURE_AI_ASSISTANT_ID")
            )

            # Wait for completion
            while run.status in ["queued", "in_progress"]:
                await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
                run = await client.agents.get_run(thread_id=thread.id, run_id=run.id)

            messages = await client.agents.list_messages(thread_id=thread.id, limit=1)
            return messages.data[0].content[0].text.value

# Run multiple queries concurrently
async def main():
    results = await asyncio.gather(
        async_chat("What is Neo4j?"),
        async_chat("What is RAG?"),
        async_chat("How many documents?")
    )
    for r in results:
        print(r[:200])

asyncio.run(main())
