Sessions:
Extending AI Agents: MCP Tools vs Agent Skills — When to Use What
Speaker: Manish Lad
Most teams building AI agents get the foundations wrong; not because the LLM is bad, but because they are missing the right extension at the right layer. In this session, we'll break down two critical ways to extend agent capability: MCP tools that let agents act on external systems, and Agent Skills that shape how agents think and behave. Through live demos, we'll see what agent failure looks like when each piece is missing, and how to fix it. You'll walk away with a clear decision framework for your own agent builds.

Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents: Intro to Tech & Business Value
Speaker: Bhushan Gawale (Microsoft MVP)
