Limits a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE to just the rows meeting a condition. Omit it, and the statement hits every row.
Related terms
- Agent Monitoring Dashboard
View in Microsoft Foundry, powered by Application Insights, that tracks token consumption, latency, successful runs and evaluation scores and can raise alerts. It gives visibility at runtime and is not a gate for releases.
- AI engineer
A data job focused on adding AI capabilities to apps and data processes, using large language models, machine learning pipelines and data sources. Microsoft Learn associates this role with Microsoft Foundry.
- AI Red Teaming Agent
PyRIT-based tool in Microsoft Foundry that mounts simulated adversarial attacks on models and agents and reports how often attacks succeed. It identifies risk without blocking anything.
- AIProjectClient
Starting object of the Microsoft Foundry SDK, constructed from the project endpoint plus a Microsoft Entra credential like DefaultAzureCredential. Because only Entra ID authentication is supported, no project key or SAS exists.
- Annotate and block
Guardrail action in Microsoft Foundry that marks detected risk and also stops it; at the tool-call intervention point, this means the tool call never runs.
- API key (Foundry)
Secret shared by callers of an Azure OpenAI or Microsoft Foundry endpoint, conferring full access without any role check. Passing it around eliminates separation of roles, and it offers no network isolation.
- Ask a question node
Workflow step in Microsoft Foundry that prompts the user, waits for an answer and keeps it in a variable like Local.Var01 so later conditions can test it.
- azure-ai-projects
Python SDK for Microsoft Foundry; its AIProjectClient opens a connection to a project, and
telemetry.get_application_insights_connection_string()fetches the connection string of the Application Insights resource linked to that project.
