"""Sample: Simple handoff workflow.

A handoff workflow defines a pattern that assembles agents in a mesh topology, allowing
them to transfer control to each other based on the conversation context.

Prerequisites:
    - FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT must be your Azure AI Foundry Agent Service (V2) project endpoint.
    - FOUNDRY_MODEL must be set to your Azure OpenAI model deployment name.
    - Authentication via azure-identity. Use AzureCliCredential and run `az login` before executing the sample.

Key Concepts:
    - Auto-registered handoff tools: HandoffBuilder automatically creates handoff tools
      for each participant, allowing the coordinator to transfer control to specialists
    - Termination condition: Controls when the workflow stops requesting user input
    - Request/response cycle: Workflow requests input, user responds, cycle continues
