Agents built in Foundry hosted agents have tools, durability, memory and state.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The evidence is the person's or their organisation's own records.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judged as of 2026-06-02. True: Microsoft documentation or announcements show that Foundry hosted agents, as of that date, offered all four of: tool use, durability (durable or long-running execution), memory, and state persistence. Mostly true: all four were offered, but one was in preview rather than generally available. Mixed: two or three of the four were available. Mostly false: only one was available, or most were only announced for the future. False: hosted agents offered none of these capabilities, or the hosted agents product did not exist.
Set before the research began.

E1 Build and run agents at scale with Microsoft Foundry at Build 2026 | Microsoft Foundry Blog Microsoft Foundry Blog (Microsoft) · 2 June 2026 Own record
“Hosted agents now support long-running autonomous agents like OpenClaw and Hermes with durable state and file system access, and routines (public preview) for operationalizing any agent on a timer or a schedule.”
-
E2 What's New in Hosted Agents in Foundry Agent Service | Microsoft Foundry Blog Microsoft Foundry Blog (Microsoft) · 2 June 2026 Own record
“Durable, long running agents — enabling hosted agents to survive container crashes, redeployments, and periods of inactivity with automatic recovery, state persistence across turns, and multi-session context accumulation”
-
E3 What's new in Microsoft Foundry | Build Edition | Microsoft Foundry Blog Microsoft Foundry Blog (Microsoft) · 2 June 2026 Own record
“Toolboxes in Foundry, in public preview, gives your agent a single managed endpoint for every tool type.”
-
E4 What's new in Microsoft Foundry | Build Edition | Microsoft Foundry Blog Microsoft Foundry Blog (Microsoft) · 2 June 2026 Own record
“Memory in Foundry Agent Service, in public preview, now includes procedural, user, and session memory.”
Reasoning
E1 and E2 show durability and state persistence for Foundry hosted agents as of 2026-06-02. E3 and E4 describe tools and memory in public preview for Foundry generally but do not say they are offered for hosted agents. So the evidence does not settle whether all four capabilities were offered for hosted agents as the criteria require.
