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.
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.

Generic agents: microsoft-foundry.
Reads: no approval; approve unchanged plans before writes.
Hide hashes. No Search/Storage keys, scope widening, guessed identity/boundaries,
drift repair or joint cleanup/creation approval. Acceptance != success.
