Question

You are building a single-agent solution in Microsoft Foundry that answers customer questions and must return each response as a structured JSON object so a downstream web application can parse the fields reliably. What is the most appropriate way to ensure the agent consistently produces this format?

Accepted Answer

Include instructions in the agent's system prompt that specify the exact JSON schema and provide an example of the expected output

Answer

Increase the temperature parameter so the agent produces more varied responses

Answer

Add a file search tool so the agent can look up the JSON schema in an uploaded document

Answer

Reduce the max tokens setting so the response is short enough to be valid JSON
