SkillSettings

Namespace Tracon · Assembly Tracon.Abstractions.dll

Settings for how an agent uses the skills it names in AgentDefinition.SkillNames.

public sealed record SkillSettings : IEquatable<SkillSettings>

Inheritance

object ← SkillSettings

Implements

IEquatable<SkillSettings>

Inherited Members

object.GetType(), object.ToString(), object.Equals(object?), object.Equals(object?, object?), object.ReferenceEquals(object?, object?), object.GetHashCode()

Examples

var definition = new AgentDefinition
{
    Name = "support",
    Model = new ModelBinding { Provider = "openai", Model = "gpt-5.4-mini" },
    SkillNames = ["house-style"],
    Skills = new SkillSettings { DisableReadApproval = true },
};

Remarks

Microsoft Agent Framework wraps all three skill tools for approval by default. This record lets a definition turn the approval off for the two tools that only read text. The third tool, run_skill_script, runs code in a process or in a sandbox and keeps its approval: there is deliberately no member that turns that off. A standing approval rule that an administrator writes for the tool can still approve a call.

An agent that is exposed over A2A or MCP, or that runs without a session, has nobody to answer an approval request. It needs SkillSettings.DisableReadApproval, or the first load_skill call ends the run.

Constructors

SkillSettings()

public SkillSettings()

Properties

DisableReadApproval

Gets a value that makes load_skill and read_skill_resource run without asking for approval. run_skill_script keeps its approval.

public bool DisableReadApproval { get; init; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks

Skill text reaches the model as instructions. Turn this on only for skills that a tenant administrator writes, because the text is then a prompt-injection surface that no person reviews at run time.
