Bug: Python - Semantic Kernel 1.35.1 is missing McpTools due to azure-ai-agents 1.1.0

[karpikpl]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a new project

uv init
uv add "semantic-kernel[Azure]>=1.35.1" "azure-search-documents >= 11.6.0b4" --prerelease=allow

2. Import McpTool from azure.ai.agents.models import McpTool

Expected behavior Import works because McpTool was in "azure-ai-agents >= 1.1.0b4"

McpTool is not in azure-ai-agents 1.1.0 released August 5th

Platform

• Language: [e.g. C#, Python]: Python
• Source: SK 1.35.1
• AI model: [e.g. OpenAI:GPT-4o-mini(2024-07-18)] n/a
• IDE: [e.g. Visual Studio, VS Code] VS Code
• OS: [e.g. Windows, Mac] Ubuntu WSL

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Although this might be a uv issue. uv installs azure-ai-agents 1.1.0 but pip installs 1.2.0b1

so code with pip install "semantic-kernel[azure]>=1.35.1" worked :/

With uv you may need to run with the --prerelease flag like: uv sync --all-extras --dev -U --prerelease=if-necessary-or-explicit.

I'm guessing that with the release of azure-ai-agents 1.1.0 the behavior changed, before I had I always had to do --prerelease.

uv sync --all-extras --dev -U --prerelease=if-necessary-or-explicit returns an error

ecause only azure-search-documents<11.6.0b4 is available and semantic-kernel[azure]>=1.35.1 depends on
      azure-search-documents>=11.6.0b4, we can conclude that semantic-kernel[azure]>=1.35.1 cannot be used.
      And because only the following versions of semantic-kernel[azure] are available:
          semantic-kernel[azure]<=1.35.1
          semantic-kernel[azure]==1.35.2
      we can conclude that all of:
          semantic-kernel[azure]>=1.35.1,<1.35.2
          semantic-kernel[azure]>1.35.2
       are incompatible. (1)

I'm not sure how SK can do a stable release while it depends on azure beta packages?

what works is uv sync --prerelease=allow uv run hello.py --prerelease=allow

azure-search-documents is still in beta, and MCP for agents is also only in beta

@karpikpl, not everything in SK is at the "GA" level. We have various components marked as experimental until they're ready for GA. AzureAIAgent is one particular component marked as experimental.

@moonbox3 - We just had another issue where SK pulled a new package, breaking the app.

SK depends on many beta packages:

• "azure-ai-projects >= 1.0.0b12",
• "azure-ai-agents >= 1.2.0b3"
• "azure-ai-inference >= 1.0.0b6",
• "azure-core-tracing-opentelemetry >= 1.0.0b11",
• "azure-search-documents >= 11.6.0b4",

azure-ai-agents was released with 2.0.0b1 (or similar, it was pulled since then)

my understanding SK -> depending on 1.2.0b3 pulled breaking change package 2.0.0b1 and broke the application
