Question

You are building a lightweight client for an agent using the Foundry SDK. The agent must remember earlier turns of a multi-turn conversation with a single user so it can answer follow-up questions that reference prior messages. Which SDK concept should you use to maintain the ongoing conversation state across requests?

Accepted Answer

Create a thread and add each user message to it, then run the agent against that same thread for every turn

Answer

Increase the max_tokens value so the model can hold more of the conversation in a single response

Answer

Send the entire conversation as one large system prompt on every request and discard the response history

Answer

Raise the temperature setting so the agent produces more contextually varied answers
