Microsoft.Extensions.AI Integration

Cross-SDK comparison

See the centralized MEAI documentation for feature matrices and comparisons across all tryAGI SDKs.

The Dust SDK provides AIFunction tool wrappers compatible with Microsoft.Extensions.AI. These tools can be used with any IChatClient to give AI models access to Dust's AI agent management, conversation handling, space browsing, and data source listing.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
`AsListAgentsTool()`	List AI agent configurations in a workspace
`AsGetAgentTool()`	Get detailed configuration of a specific agent
`AsSearchAgentsTool()`	Search for agents by name
`AsCreateConversationTool()`	Create a new conversation with an initial message
`AsGetConversationTool()`	Get details of a specific conversation
`AsSendMessageTool()`	Send a message to an existing conversation
`AsListSpacesTool()`	List available spaces (projects) in a workspace
`AsListDataSourcesTool()`	List data sources in a workspace space

Usage Example

using Dust;
using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;

// Create the Dust client
using var dustClient = new DustClient(apiKey);

// Create tools to pass to any IChatClient
var tools = new[]
{
    dustClient.AsListAgentsTool(),
    dustClient.AsGetAgentTool(),
    dustClient.AsSearchAgentsTool(),
    dustClient.AsCreateConversationTool(),
    dustClient.AsGetConversationTool(),
    dustClient.AsSendMessageTool(),
    dustClient.AsListSpacesTool(),
    dustClient.AsListDataSourcesTool(),
};

// Use with any IChatClient (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama)
var chatOptions = new ChatOptions { Tools = [.. tools] };
var response = await chatClient.GetResponseAsync("List all agents in my workspace", chatOptions);
