+# This workflow demonstrates the *agent-level* MCP (Model Context Protocol) pattern,
+# where an MCP-backed agent reasons over MCP tools as part of its own turn,
+# instead of the workflow invoking MCP directly.
+#
+# Contrast with a workflow-level MCP pattern, where the workflow uses the
+# `InvokeMcpTool` action to call MCP servers directly.
+# Either pattern is valid; use this one when the agent should decide when and how
+# to query the MCP tool as part of its reasoning loop.
+#
+# The workflow is a simple sequential pipeline:
+#
+#   1. QueryPlannerAgent       Rewrites the user's question as a focused
+#                              Microsoft Learn search query.
+#   2. MicrosoftLearnAgent     MCP-backed agent that searches Microsoft Learn
+#                              via https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp and
+#                              produces an evidence-rich answer.
+#                              See: ../agent-samples/foundry/MicrosoftLearnAgent.yaml
+#   3. CitationReviewerAgent   Verifies the answer includes Microsoft Learn URL
+#                              citations and polishes the final response.
+#
+# Register the three agents with your runtime by name before executing this workflow.
+# The middle agent should be configured with the MCP tool wiring shown in
+# `agent-samples/foundry/MicrosoftLearnAgent.yaml`.
+#
+# Example input:
+# How do I configure managed identity for an Azure Function app calling a Cosmos DB account?
