Microsoft Foundry Toolboxes Reach General Availability

Full analysis

Microsoft has promoted Toolboxes in Azure AI Foundry to general availability (GA), meaning it is now production-ready and fully supported. Toolboxes provide a unified endpoint for invoking commonly used tools inside prompt-based agents (AI systems that follow instructions to complete tasks) as well as outside of them, addressing the current problem where every agent team independently assembles its own tool list to handle the same recurring tasks with no shared infrastructure.
