From the author

Foundry IQ knowledge bases. WHEN: make local or Blob documents searchable; create/diagnose KBs; triage unsupported connectors or multi-source KB creation/reconfiguration (even with classic-search terms); connect existing KB to agents (including multi-source KBs); create/reuse a Search service; retrieve from an existing knowledge base with citations; no brand words needed. Read its procedure before query/target questions. NOT: other KB providers, repository-file search, classic Azure AI Search index/query/app work with no Foundry IQ KB or connector request, generic agent creation.

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Foundry IQ provides a structured framework for creating, diagnosing, and connecting knowledge bases to AI agents. It supports making local or Blob-based documents searchable, managing multi-source knowledge configurations, and retrieving information with citations. The skill emphasizes strict adherence to defined procedures for service discovery, resource creation, and troubleshooting to ensure reliable agent-knowledge integration.

What it does

Creates searchable knowledge bases from local or Azure Blob storage documents.
Connects existing knowledge bases to AI agents.
Diagnoses issues with knowledge base configurations or unsupported connectors.
Retrieves information from knowledge bases with source citations.
Manages the lifecycle of search services and knowledge sources.
Routes requests based on specific operational needs rather than source counts.

When to use it

When you need to make local or cloud-stored documents searchable by an AI agent.
When connecting an existing knowledge base to a new or current agent.
When troubleshooting or diagnosing a knowledge base configuration.
When you need to create a new search service or knowledge source.
When performing retrieval tasks that require citations from a knowledge base.

Advantages

Provides a clear, procedural approach to knowledge base management.
Ensures consistent handling of multi-source knowledge configurations.
Includes built-in diagnostic paths for troubleshooting.
Supports secure, citation-backed retrieval for agent responses.
Prevents unauthorized or unsupported configuration changes.

Usage examples

“Create a new knowledge base from my Azure Blob container.”: The agent will initiate the knowledge base creation procedure, validating the source and setting up the necessary search indexing.
“Connect my existing knowledge base to the current agent.”: The agent will follow the connection workflow to link the specified knowledge base to the agent's retrieval pipeline.
“Why is my multi-source knowledge base failing to index?”: The agent will trigger the diagnostic procedure to identify configuration drifts or unsupported connector issues.
“Retrieve information about project timelines from the knowledge base.”: The agent will query the knowledge base and provide an answer with citations from the source documents.

Documentation by Microsoft

Foundry IQ

Read one procedure before questions/actions; invocation is not a read. Read the owning procedure before blocked/unsupported responses too. Before mutation plans/approval, successfully read its required pre-action references, selected branches only. Do not reload successful reads. On failure, try only permitted bounded exact-path reads with any supported reader; never bypass restrictions or search broadly. If still unavailable: blocked: reference-unavailable, name missing references and inability to plan. Never invent requirements/plans. Failures first.

Cleanup and receipt-backed execution go directly to their lifecycle/producer owner; do not reopen Search intake, provisioning or hardening.

Before expensive service discovery, reuse supplied resource/intent; otherwise ask one early USE EXISTING / FIND CANDIDATES / CREATE NEW choice. Only FIND enumerates; supplied identity uses exact/minimum scoped resolution. CREATE checks its proposed name, not existing-service inventories. Preserve these answers across source/KB/CU/model handoffs; selection is not write approval.

Searchable docs: KB + validated retrieval. Confirm intent once; KS-only must be explicit. Child success is not KB completion. Unclear/compound/mode/completion: read.

Route by requested operation, not existing KB source count. Connecting an existing KB with two or more sources, without changing the KB, uses Connect. Read-only operations use their owning procedure and actual helper constraints; this does not add retrieval modes or supported source kinds. Explicit unsupported provisioning or multi-source KB creation/reconfiguration uses Diagnose and stops before discovery, even when connecting an agent is also requested. This routing takes precedence over classic-search terms (e.g. hybrid search) in compound requests. Never end in a plain refusal: Diagnose gives the boundary, docs pointer and agent handoff; writes still need an approved concrete plan. Do not silently execute only the supported part of a compound request. If existing-KB connection versus KB creation/reconfiguration is unclear, read intent-routing and clarify that scope before Azure discovery. Never infer KB mutation.

Outcome	Read
Cleanup	Plan cleanup
Failure/drift	Diagnose
Unsupported connector provisioning / multi-source KB creation or reconfiguration	Diagnose
Connect	Connect
Read KB	Query
Search only	Search
File KS only	File
Blob/ADLS KS only	Blob
Searchable/KB	KB

Generic agents: microsoft-foundry. Reads: no approval; approve unchanged plans before writes. Hide hashes. No Search/Storage keys, scope widening, guessed identity/boundaries, drift repair or joint cleanup/creation approval. Acceptance != success.
