## Installation

```bash
pip install microsoft-agents-copilotstudio-client
```

## Quick Start

### Basic Setup

#### Standard Environment-Based Connection

Code below from the [main.py in the Copilot Studio Client](https://github.com/microsoft/Agents/blob/main/samples/python/copilotstudio-client/src/main.py)
```python
def create_client():
    settings = ConnectionSettings(
        environment_id=environ.get("COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__ENVIRONMENTID"),
        agent_identifier=environ.get("COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__SCHEMANAME"),
        cloud=None,
        copilot_agent_type=None,
        custom_power_platform_cloud=None,
    )
    token = acquire_token(
        settings,
        app_client_id=environ.get("COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__AGENTAPPID"),
        tenant_id=environ.get("COPILOTSTUDIOAGENT__TENANTID"),
    )
    copilot_client = CopilotClient(settings, token)
    return copilot_client
```

#### DirectConnect URL Mode (Simplified Setup)

For simplified setup, you can use a DirectConnect URL instead of environment-based configuration:

```python
def create_client_direct():
    settings = ConnectionSettings(
        environment_id="",  # Not needed with DirectConnect URL
        agent_identifier="",  # Not needed with DirectConnect URL
        direct_connect_url="https://api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/your-bot-id"
    )
    token = acquire_token(...)
    copilot_client = CopilotClient(settings, token)
    return copilot_client
```

#### Advanced Configuration Options

```python
settings = ConnectionSettings(
    environment_id="your-env-id",
    agent_identifier="your-agent-id",
    cloud=PowerPlatformCloud.PROD,
    copilot_agent_type=AgentType.PUBLISHED,
    custom_power_platform_cloud=None,
    direct_connect_url=None,  # Optional: Direct URL to agent
    use_experimental_endpoint=False,  # Optional: Enable experimental features
    enable_diagnostics=False,  # Optional: Enable diagnostic logging (logs HTTP details)
    client_session_settings={"timeout": aiohttp.ClientTimeout(total=60)}  # Optional: aiohttp settings
)
```

**Diagnostic Logging Details**:
When `enable_diagnostics=True`, the CopilotClient logs detailed HTTP communication using Python's `logging` module at the `DEBUG` level:
- Pre-request: Logs the full request URL (`>>> SEND TO {url}`)
- Post-response: Logs all HTTP response headers in a formatted table
- Errors: Logs error messages with status codes

To see diagnostic output, configure your Python logging:
```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
```

**Experimental Endpoint Details**:
When `use_experimental_endpoint=True`, the CopilotClient will automatically capture and use the experimental endpoint URL from the first response:
- The server returns the experimental endpoint in the `x-ms-d2e-experimental` response header
- Once captured, this URL is stored in `settings.direct_connect_url` and used for all subsequent requests
- This feature is only active when `use_experimental_endpoint=True` AND `direct_connect_url` is not already set
- The experimental endpoint allows access to pre-release features and optimizations

### Start a Conversation

#### Simple Start

The code below is summarized from the [main.py in the Copilot Studio Client](https://github.com/microsoft/Agents/blob/main/samples/python/copilotstudio-client/src/main.py). See that sample for complete & working code.

```python
copilot_client = create_client()
async for activity in copilot_client.start_conversation(emit_start_conversation_event=True):
    if activity.type == ActivityTypes.message:
        print(f"\n{activity.text}")

# Ask questions
async for reply in copilot_client.ask_question("Who are you?", conversation_id):
    if reply.type == ActivityTypes.message:
        print(f"\n{reply.text}")
```

#### Start with Advanced Options (Locale Support)

```python
from microsoft_agents.copilotstudio.client import StartRequest

# Create a start request with locale
start_request = StartRequest(
    emit_start_conversation_event=True,
    locale="en-US",  # Optional: specify conversation locale
    conversation_id="custom-conv-id"  # Optional: provide your own conversation ID
)

async for activity in copilot_client.start_conversation_with_request(start_request):
    if activity.type == ActivityTypes.message:
        print(f"\n{activity.text}")
```

### Send Activities

#### Send a Custom Activity

```python
from microsoft_agents.activity import Activity

activity = Activity(
    type="message",
    text="Hello, agent!",
    conversation={"id": conversation_id}
)

async for reply in copilot_client.send_activity(activity):
    print(f"Response: {reply.text}")
```

#### Execute with Explicit Conversation ID

```python
# Execute an activity with a specific conversation ID
activity = Activity(type="message", text="What's the weather?")

async for reply in copilot_client.execute(conversation_id="conv-123", activity=activity):
    print(f"Response: {reply.text}")
```

### Subscribe to Conversation Events

For real-time event streaming with resumption support:

```python
from microsoft_agents.copilotstudio.client import SubscribeEvent

# Subscribe to conversation events
async for subscribe_event in copilot_client.subscribe(
    conversation_id="conv-123",
    last_received_event_id=None  # Optional: resume from last event
):
    activity = subscribe_event.activity
    event_id = subscribe_event.event_id  # Use for resumption

    if activity.type == ActivityTypes.message:
        print(f"[{event_id}] {activity.text}")
```

### Environment Variables

Set up your `.env` file with the following options:

#### Standard Environment-Based Configuration

```bash
# Required (unless using DIRECT_CONNECT_URL)
ENVIRONMENT_ID=your-power-platform-environment-id
AGENT_IDENTIFIER=your-copilot-studio-agent-id
APP_CLIENT_ID=your-azure-app-client-id
TENANT_ID=your-azure-tenant-id

# Optional Cloud Configuration
CLOUD=PROD  # Options: PROD, GOV, HIGH, DOD, MOONCAKE, DEV, TEST, etc.
COPILOT_AGENT_TYPE=PUBLISHED  # Options: PUBLISHED, PREBUILT
CUSTOM_POWER_PLATFORM_CLOUD=https://custom.cloud.com
```

#### DirectConnect URL Configuration (Alternative)

```bash
# Required for DirectConnect mode
DIRECT_CONNECT_URL=https://api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/your-bot-id
APP_CLIENT_ID=your-azure-app-client-id
TENANT_ID=your-azure-tenant-id

# Optional
CLOUD=PROD  # Used for token audience resolution
```

#### Advanced Options

```bash
# Experimental and diagnostic features
USE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENDPOINT=false  # Enable automatic experimental endpoint capture
ENABLE_DIAGNOSTICS=false  # Enable diagnostic logging (logs HTTP requests/responses)
```

**Experimental Endpoint**: When `USE_EXPERIMENTAL_ENDPOINT=true`, the client automatically captures and uses the experimental endpoint URL from the server's `x-ms-d2e-experimental` response header. This feature:
- Only activates when `direct_connect_url` is not already set
- Captures the URL from the first response and stores it for all subsequent requests
- Provides access to pre-release features and performance optimizations
- Useful for testing new capabilities before general availability

**Diagnostic Logging**: When `ENABLE_DIAGNOSTICS=true` or `enable_diagnostics=True`, the client will log detailed HTTP request and response information including:
- Request URLs before sending
- All response headers with their values
- Error messages for failed requests

This is useful for debugging connection issues, authentication problems, or understanding the communication flow with Copilot Studio. Diagnostic logs use Python's standard `logging` module at the `DEBUG` level.

#### Using Environment Variables in Code

The `ConnectionSettings.populate_from_environment()` helper method automatically loads these variables:

```python
from microsoft_agents.copilotstudio.client import ConnectionSettings

# Automatically loads from environment variables
settings_dict = ConnectionSettings.populate_from_environment()
settings = ConnectionSettings(**settings_dict)
```

## Connection Modes

The client supports two connection modes:

### 1. Environment-Based Connection (Standard)

Uses environment ID and agent identifier to construct the connection URL:

```python
settings = ConnectionSettings(
    environment_id="aaaabbbb-1111-2222-3333-ccccddddeeee",
    agent_identifier="cr123_myagent"
)
```

**URL Pattern:**
`https://{env-prefix}.{env-suffix}.environment.api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/{agent-id}/conversations`

### 2. DirectConnect URL Mode (Simplified)

Uses a direct URL to the agent, bypassing environment resolution:

```python
settings = ConnectionSettings(
    environment_id="",
    agent_identifier="",
    direct_connect_url="https://api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/cr123_myagent"
)
```

**Benefits:**
- Simpler configuration with single URL
- Automatic cloud detection for token audience
- Works across environments without environment ID lookup
- Useful for multi-tenant scenarios

## Token Audience Resolution

The client automatically determines the correct token audience:

```python
# For environment-based connections
audience = PowerPlatformEnvironment.get_token_audience(settings)
# Returns: https://api.powerplatform.com/.default

# For DirectConnect URLs
audience = PowerPlatformEnvironment.get_token_audience(
    settings=ConnectionSettings("", "", direct_connect_url="https://api.gov.powerplatform.microsoft.us/...")
)
# Returns: https://api.gov.powerplatform.microsoft.us/.default
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Authentication failed**
- Verify your app is registered in Azure AD
- Check that token has the correct audience scope (use `PowerPlatformEnvironment.get_token_audience()`)
- Ensure your app has permissions to the Power Platform environment
- For DirectConnect URLs, verify cloud setting matches the URL domain

**Agent not found**
- Verify the environment ID and agent identifier
- Check that the agent is published and accessible
- Confirm you're using the correct cloud setting
- For DirectConnect URLs, ensure the URL is correct and complete

**Connection timeout**
- Check network connectivity to Power Platform
- Verify firewall settings allow HTTPS traffic
- Try a different cloud region if available
- Check if `client_session_settings` timeout is appropriate

**Invalid DirectConnect URL**
- Ensure URL includes scheme (https://)
- Verify URL format matches expected pattern
- Check for trailing slashes (automatically normalized)
- Confirm URL points to the correct cloud environment

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+ (supports 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)
- Valid Azure AD app registration
- Access to Microsoft Power Platform environment
- Published Copilot Studio agent
