Suitable tasks

Build a workflow with explicit stages, tools and approvals.

Limits and checks

More complete orchestration does not establish more accurate answers. Check version, provider, shared state and third-party tool terms.

A repeatable trial

Create a fictional research-and-review chain with a missing reference and failed tool. Check retained state, stopping and recovery before distribution.

How to decide

Keep the structure when failures are distinguished and recovery does not duplicate actions.

Frequently asked questions

Must Semantic Kernel projects be replaced immediately?

Documentation offers a migration path; first compare your project’s features, dependencies and behaviours.
