You already have an agent framework and want to run your own code on Foundry. Which option fits?
Why B is the answer
A hosted agent
Foundry supports declarative prompt agents, and hosted agents for your own packaged code.
In detail
- A hosted agent runs your own code on Foundry.
- Prompt agents suit no-code cases.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A team already built agents with its own framework. A hosted agent runs that code on Foundry, with no rewrite.

Why the other options are wrong
