### Motivation and Context We're moving towards a pattern where Agents can be called as tools. We currently don't have this in Semantic Kernel Python. This work builds off of the previous PR (#10828) but extends it to work with any SK Agent now that we have a bit more of a common invocation pattern (all agents take in `messages` kwarg). This also works now because each agent creates its own thread internally, if one isn't provided - so we don't need to worry about handling chat history for an OpenAI Assistant or an Azure AI Agent. <!-- Thank you for your contribution to the semantic-kernel repo! Please help reviewers and future users, providing the following information: 1. Why is this change required? 2. What problem does it solve? 3. What scenario does it contribute to? 4. If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. --> ### Description Allow agents to be configured as Kernel Functions, which can then be used during Function Calling. We will advertise the Agent's name and either its description or instructions (if description is blank). - Provide a sample where we show a triage agent (ChatCompletionAgent) calling either a billing agent (ChatCompletionAgent) or a refund agent (ChatCompletionAgent ) as part of a tool call to satisfy the user's query. - Provide a sample where we show a triage agent (ChatCompletionAgent) calling either a billing agent (AzureAIAgent) or a refund agent (ChatCompletionAgent) to satisfy the user's query. <!-- Describe your changes, the overall approach, the underlying design.
