name: foundry-iq description: "Foundry IQ knowledge bases. WHEN: make local or Blob documents searchable; create/diagnose KBs; triage unsupported connectors or multi-source KB creation/reconfiguration; 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.

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. 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.

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.
