How to Author a Function Tool in the Microsoft Agent Framework: Inline, Method, or Class

If you came from Semantic Kernel looking for 'skills,' the Microsoft Agent Framework 1.0 calls them function tools and builds every one from AIFunctionFactory.Create. Here are the three ways to author one in C# -- an inline lambda, a named method, or a class of related tools -- plus what the declarative YAML 'file' approach can and cannot do.

Fix: Extra Inputs Are Not Permitted on a Tool Call With a Structured Argument

Your agent's tool call fails with Pydantic's 'Extra inputs are not permitted'. The model added a field your structured argument forbids. Turn on strict tool use so the grammar blocks it, relax the validator, or recover in the loop.

Fix: Cursor's Apply Button Does Nothing on a Large Diff

Cursor's Apply silently cancels on big files because the Fast Apply model has an implicit size ceiling. Shrink the edit scope, clean git state, or fall back to a unified diff. Six ranked fixes for Cursor 3.3.

Fix: rate_limit_error on Claude Sonnet 4.6 in a Long Agent Loop

A 429 rate_limit_error on claude-sonnet-4-6 in a long agent loop is almost always ITPM, not RPM. Read retry-after, cache the system prompt, and gate on anthropic-ratelimit-input-tokens-remaining. Step-by-step fix with code.

Fix: Context Window Exceeded During an Aider Refactor

Aider 0.86 hit the token limit mid-refactor. The fix is /clear, /drop, --map-tokens, and switching to architect mode with Claude Sonnet 4.6's 1M window. Step-by-step repro, error breakdown, and config.

Fix: Tool Call Arguments Did Not Match Schema in Anthropic Tool Use

Why your Claude tool call fails schema validation, in both flavours: the API rejecting your tool definition at request time, and Claude returning a tool_use block your runner cannot accept. Concrete fixes for each, with strict mode, oneOf/anyOf, additionalProperties, and the retry loop pattern.

How to Cache Multi-Turn Claude Conversations Across API Calls

Place rolling cache_control breakpoints across messages, respect the 20-block lookback, and refresh the 5-minute TTL automatically so a 50-turn agent loop pays the prefix once, not fifty times. Verified against anthropic 0.42 (Python) and @anthropic-ai/sdk 0.30 (Node) in May 2026.

How to Set Up an LLM-as-Judge Eval Harness for a Coding Agent

Build a working LLM-as-judge eval harness for a coding agent in Python: golden tasks, deterministic checks, a rubric judge on Claude Sonnet 4.6, calibration against human labels, and a CI gate that fails the build when scores regress.

How to Pipe Cursor's Context to an Aider Session for Multi-Agent Refactors

Cursor is the best place to plan a refactor. Aider is the best place to execute it from a terminal with cheap models and atomic git commits. This guide shows the exact pipe: dump the Cursor chat to markdown, hand it to Aider as a read-only context file, and run an architect/editor split that finishes the work.

How to Run a Semantic Kernel Plugin From a BackgroundService

Wire a Microsoft.SemanticKernel 1.75.0 plugin into a hosted BackgroundService on .NET 11 and invoke its KernelFunctions on a PeriodicTimer schedule. Covers DI scopes, [KernelFunction] resolution, prompt-cache-friendly invocation, cancellation, and the lifetime gotchas that bite when you move a plugin off the request path.
