Service constraints
Infosys Agentic Foundry runs on Kubernetes-based infrastructure, typically using Azure Kubernetes Service, requiring compatible cloud environments. Integrations rely on external APIs and secure credential management, which may limit functionality in restricted ecosystems. Human-in-the-loop checkpoints enhance oversight but can slow workflows. High-quality datasets are essential for evaluation frameworks, and multi-agent orchestration needs careful monitoring to prevent performance issues. Complex enterprise customizations still demand pro-code skills, and interoperability depends on system APIs. While no fixed maintenance windows or hardware limits exist, cloud version compatibility is critical. Infosys also leverages open-source embedding models from Hugging Face for advanced AI capabilities.
System requirements
  • Cloud-native deployment on Azure Kubernetes Service
  • Requires Kubernetes-compatible execution environment
  • Open‑source framework; no proprietary local licenses needed
  • Supports multi‑model inference protocols like MCP, A2A

End-of-contract data extraction
Users can extract their data from Infosys Agentic Foundry primarily because the entire platform runs within the customer’s own environment, specifically on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This means all operational data—such as logs, telemetry, agent configurations, and workflow definitions—remains under the customer’s control throughout the contract.
Agentic Foundry also supports exporting agents as standalone code or as grouped agent bundles. These exports include the logic, configuration, and structure of each agent, giving customers a portable version of their deployed automations. This mechanism allows users to take their agents with them at contract end and continue operating them independently.
Additionally, the documentation stored in the GitHub repository—covering agent design, tool configuration, workflow logic, and inference behavior—is available as Markdown and can be freely downloaded. These files help customers preserve full technical knowledge of their implementation.
There is no published “one click” export tool or formalized offboarding process. However, because the deployment, storage, and configuration all reside in customer owned infrastructure, organizations can directly extract data using standard Kubernetes methods (e.g., exporting persistent volumes, logs, and database contents).
In summary, data extraction is fully achievable but customer driven, not tool automated.
End-of-contract process
At the end of an Infosys Agentic Foundry contract, users retain full control of their code and data because the platform is open-sourced under MIT license. All logs, telemetry, workflow definitions, tool configurations, and agent settings remain stored in customer owned cloud resources, enabling straightforward extraction using standard cloud export methods. Additionally, Agentic Foundry supports exporting agents as standalone code bundles, allowing organizations to take their agent logic, workflows, and functionality with them after the contract ends. Documentation and configuration files are provided through GitHub in open formats such as Markdown and can be downloaded at any time.
Infosys does not publish a formal offboarding tool or a detailed end of contract process, so data extraction is customer driven rather than automated.
What is included in the price is not publicly detailed, but documented capabilities—such as the web interface, agent creation framework, evaluation tools, interoperability protocols like MCP and export features—are part of the platform itself.
Additional costs typically fall outside the platform, including Azure cloud infrastructure charges and fees for any external AI models or third party APIs used by agents.

Description of service interface
The service interface of Infosys Agentic Foundry is a browser‑based, modular front‑end that allows users to create, configure, deploy and monitor AI agents through an intuitive web UI. The platform includes a dedicated frontend module for user interaction and management tasks. It provides access to reusable components, agent templates, workflow orchestration and tool integrations, enabling seamless control of agent lifecycles. Behind the UI, the interface connects to secure backend services that support agent execution, evaluation and enterprise integration. Its design emphasizes flexibility, allowing agents to be embedded or hosted across enterprise environments without technology lock‑in.
Accessibility standards
None or don’t know
Description of accessibility
Infosys Agentic Foundry is accessible through a browser‑based web interface, enabled by its dedicated front‑end component, allowing users to interact with the platform without installing any local applications. Users can configure, deploy, and monitor AI agents directly through this intuitive UI. The platform also provides programmatic accessibility through secure backend services, tool connectors, and interoperability standards such as Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless integration with enterprise systems. Its open, flexible architecture supports access across diverse environments and allows agents to be embedded or hosted within third‑party or in‑house platforms.
Accessibility testing

API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
Infosys Agentic Foundry provides API driven capabilities through its Agentic Service, deployed as microservices on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Users can programmatically invoke agents, supply inputs, and receive outputs, since agents can be exported as standalone code or embedded into external applications—implying REST style or protocol based access. The platform also supports interoperability through Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling structured API communication with other systems.
However, users cannot modify underlying infrastructure, redeploy platform services, or manage authentication and access control through APIs, as no such administrative endpoints are documented. These operational tasks remain with DevOps teams. There is also no publicly available API documentation, meaning endpoint structures, payload formats, and authentication flows must be obtained from Infosys during implementation.
To set up the service via API, users deploy the Agentic Service on AKS, configure agents through the platform, and then expose or consume the resulting endpoints. Changes—such as altering workflows or tools—are made within the platform and automatically reflected in API behavior.
Limitations include dependency on deployment specific documentation, lack of operational control via API, and no published details on versioning, rate limits, or error taxonomies.

Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
Infosys Agentic Foundry offers extensive customisation capabilities across agents, tools, workflows, and user interfaces. Users can customise pre‑built horizontal and vertical agents, modify reasoning logic, add or remove tools, adjust workflows and embed agents into enterprise applications. The platform’s modular architecture supports tailoring agent behaviour, business rules, integrations and UI/UX components.
Customisation is performed through the Foundry’s open‑source, pro‑code framework, which allows developers to configure templates, adapt tool logic, and adjust control flows directly within the platform without needing external IDEs. Agents can be exported as standalone applications or grouped into multi‑agent systems, enabling flexible design and deployment. The framework also includes secure adapters for databases and external systems, allowing enterprise teams to build custom integrations and extend agent capabilities.
Customisation can be done by enterprise developers, AI/ML engineers, and platform administrators who work with agent templates, backend logic and tool configurations. Business teams may also influence customisation by selecting use cases, reviewing workflows, or configuring human‑in‑the‑loop checkpoints. Since the Foundry avoids technology lock‑in and supports embedding within third‑party platforms, organisations can adapt the solution to their unique operational, security, and compliance requirements.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Infosys Agentic Foundry ensures users are not impacted by others’ demand through multi-tenant isolation and dynamic resource allocation. Each tenant operates in a logically isolated environment, preventing resource contention. The platform uses cloud-native architecture with auto-scaling and load balancing, which dynamically provisions compute, storage, and network resources based on real-time demand. Resource throttling and fair usage policies prevent any single user from monopolizing capacity. This design guarantees consistent performance, reliability, and availability for all users, even during peak loads, aligning with enterprise-grade SLAs and best practices for scalability and resilience.

Analytics

Service usage metrics
Yes
Metrics types
Infosys Agentic Foundry provides service metrics focused on evaluating agent accuracy, reliability, and performance. It uses ground‑truth‑based metrics including SBERT similarity, TF‑IDF cosine similarity, Jaccard similarity, ROUGE, BLEU, sequence match ratio, and exact/fuzzy match to assess output quality. Optional LLM scoring and structured feedback improve evaluation further. Human‑in‑the‑loop reviews and tool‑interrupt logs enhance transparency and control. Operational outcomes such as reduced resolution times and increased CSAT illustrate efficiency gains. These capabilities collectively enable robust monitoring and measurement of agent performance.
