azd ai agent run was printing a static azd ai agent invoke --local "Hello!" suggestion that is incorrect for agents using the /invocations protocol — the payload shape is agent-specific and "Hello!" is not a valid invocation body in most cases, leading to confusing runtime errors.

Changes

  • runRun(): Remove the three-line "After startup, in another terminal, try: …" block; retain only the Starting agent on http://localhost:<port> (Ctrl+C to stop) line.
  • newRunCommand() Long description: Remove the trailing "Use a separate terminal to invoke the running agent: …" paragraph for the same reason.

Changes look correct - removes the hardcoded "Hello!" suggestion that doesn't match most agent protocols.

Both locations (the Long description and the runtime fmt.Printf output) are cleaned up. The remaining \n prefix on the Printf properly preserves blank-line spacing. No test impact.

Minor note: invoke.go:63 still shows azd ai agent invoke --local "Hello!" in the invoke command's own examples. That's a different context (documenting invoke's syntax vs suggesting a specific payload from run), but worth considering whether the invoke examples should also use a more protocol-appropriate placeholder.

Rebased onto latest main (commit a087e97). The fix is still relevant — main still contains the "After startup, in another terminal, try:" message in run.go. The rebase applied cleanly with no conflicts and all tests pass.

Review Summary

The intended change (remove the hardcoded azd ai agent invoke --local "Hello!" suggestion from run.go) is correct, minimal, and addresses a real UX bug — the "Hello!" payload is not valid for most agents using the /invocations protocol. jongio''s spot-check of the intent is accurate.

However, there are two things to address before this is mergeable.

🔴 Branch is severely out of date with main

This PR currently shows a 1,098-file / +107,689 / −12,036 diff on GitHub. The branch has only two author commits (the Initial plan placeholder and bc8ab77 — the actual fix from 2026-04-23), but main has advanced significantly since then. As a result:

  • The automated Copilot reviewer refused the review entirely (exceeds the maximum number of files (300))
  • Human reviewers can''t meaningfully diff the change against the surrounding context
  • run.go has been substantially refactored on main since this branch forked (new noPrompt parameter threaded through runRun, extCtx plumbing on newRunCommand, resolveConnectionCredentials, localAgentKey/session cleanup defer, setupDebugLogging removal, etc.), so the original patch will conflict and must be re-applied against the current file

Please rebase onto current main and force-push (--force-with-lease) so the PR diff reflects only the intended ~10-line change. The bug is still present on main today (lines 49 and 177–178 of run.go), so the fix is still needed and still valid — it just needs to be re-cut against the refactored file.

🟡 Confirm scope: third "Hello!" occurrence in invoke.go

cli/azd/extensions/azure.ai.agents/internal/cmd/invoke.go:102 also contains the literal azd ai agent invoke --local "Hello!" string. It appears to live inside the invoke command''s own help/example text — where demonstrating the command syntax is legitimate and arguably correct — so this looks intentionally untouched. Could you confirm that''s the case so reviewers know it was a deliberate scoping choice rather than an oversight?

Once rebased

This is a fast-path approve. The change is surgical, no behavior risk, and matches the description exactly. No new tests needed (user-facing string removal only).

✅ Approving — rebase looks good

The rebase onto current main cleanly addressed the prior feedback. The diff is now properly scoped to 1 file, +2 / −8 in cli/azd/extensions/azure.ai.agents/internal/cmd/run.go:

  1. Removes the Use a separate terminal to invoke the running agent: azd ai agent invoke --local "Hello!" paragraph from the cobra Long description.
  2. Removes the three-line runtime fmt.Println / fmt.Printf block and correctly folds the leading newline into the surviving fmt.Printf("\nStarting agent on %s (Ctrl+C to stop)\n\n", url).

The change is surgical, no behavior risk, user-facing string only, and the invoke.go:102 occurrence was (correctly) left alone since it lives inside the invoke command''s own help example where the syntax is legitimately demonstrated.
