UFO
Description
UFO is an open source building block for agent automation and infrastructure with a focus on frameworks. It provides either a runtime, a workflow system, an integration layer, or measurability so that agents can work reliably with tools and data. The benefits lie in reusability, governance, and operation, not in a single chat response. The project is hosted as a repository at Microsoft and is called UFO.
area of application
Tool integration, workflow orchestration, agent operation, configuration of tool access, evaluation, logging, reusable agent modules.
benefits
Improves stability and repeatability of agent flows. Facilitates integration of new tools and data sources. Makes governance more realistic through centralized configuration.
