Why should you care?

Tools create side effects — design them like public APIs.

See it live — copy this example

Use .NET 8+. Run Semantic Kernel samples in a console or Web API. Keep API keys in user secrets or environment variables — never in source.

// File Tools with Sandboxing
[KernelFunction, Description("Tool for File Tools with Sandboxing")]
public string Run(string input) => $"ok:{input}"; // validate + authorize first

What happened?

• Expose a narrow function, validate input, authorize, return a short result.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Recreate the sketch in a .NET 8 console or Web API.
2. Connect a real or mock chat client.
3. Add one validation or auth check.
4. Tighten the prompt/tool description.
5. Log duration of the model call.

Remember

You can explain File Tools with Sandboxing simply. You have a C# sketch to extend. You know one safety or ops risk.
