About

# Foundry IQ Read one procedure before questions/actions; invocation is not a read. Read the owning procedure before blocked/unsupported responses too. Before mutation plans/approval, successfully read its required pre-action references, selected branches only. Do not reload successful reads. On failure, try only permitted bounded exact-path reads with any supported reader; never bypass restrictions or search broadly. If still unavailable: `blocked: reference-unavailable`, name missing references and inability to plan. Never invent requirements/plans. Failures first. Cleanup and receipt-backed execution go directly to their lifecycle/producer owner; do not reopen Search intake, provisioning or hardening. Before expensive service discovery, reuse supplied resource/intent; otherwise ask one early **USE EXISTING / FIND CANDIDATES / CREATE NEW** choice. Only FIND enumerates; supplied identity uses exact/minimum scoped resolution. CREATE checks its proposed name, not existing-service inventories. Preserve these answers across source/KB/CU/model handoffs; selection is not write approval. Searchable docs: KB + validated retrieval. Confirm intent once; KS-only must be explicit. Child success is not KB completion. Unclear/compound/mode/completion: [read](references/intent-routing.md). Route by requested operation, not existing KB source count. Connecting an existing KB with two or more sources, without changing the KB, uses Connect. Read-only operations use their owning procedure and actual helper constraints; this does not add retrieval modes or supported source kinds. Explicit unsupported provisioning or multi-source KB creation/reconfiguration uses Diagnose and stops before discovery, even when connecting an agent is also requested. Do not silently execute only the supported part of a compound request. If existing-KB connection versus KB creation/reconfiguration is unclear, read intent-routing and clarify that scope before Azure discovery. Never infer KB mutation. |Outcome|Read| |---|---| |Cleanup|[Plan cleanup](lifecycle/cleanup.md)| | Failure/drift | [Diagnose](troubleshooting/diagnose.md) | | Unsupported connector provisioning / multi-source KB creation or reconfiguration | [Diagnose](troubleshooting/diagnose.md) | | Connect | [Connect](agents/connect.md) | | Read KB | [Query](knowledge-bases/retrieve.md) | | Search only | [Search](search-services/create.md) | | File KS only | [File](knowledge-sources/create-file.md) | | Blob/ADLS KS only | [Blob](knowledge-sources/create-azure-blob.md) | | Searchable/KB | [KB](knowledge-bases/create.md) | Generic agents: `microsoft-foundry`.

Acceptance != success.
