A support team wants a no-code test of a single agent with instructions and one knowledge source. What is the quickest route?
Why B is the answer
Create and test the agent in the Foundry portal
Creating and testing the agent in the Foundry portal needs no code, which makes it the quickest route.
In detail
- The Foundry portal lets you create and test an agent with no code.
- Move to code once the idea is proven.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A support lead wants a quick test of an agent over a product guide. In the Foundry portal, they add instructions and the guide, and try it the same day.

sequenceDiagram participant U as User participant A as Agent participant T as Tool U->>A: Request A->>T: Uses a tool, such as file search T-->>A: Result A-->>U: Answer or completed action

Key point: The portal is the quickest no-code route.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Provision a Kubernetes cluster and deploy an agent framework
- Kubernetes is far more than this needs.
- C. Write a custom orchestration framework in Python
- Custom Python is not no-code.
- D. Train a new language model on the knowledge source
- No new model is needed.
