Azure AI Agent + Bing Grounding: Real-Time Web Search with Terraform 📚

An agent without grounding hallucinates about current events. Bing Grounding gives your Azure AI agent real-time web search with source citations. Here's how to provision the Bing resource, connect it to your Foundry project, and attach it to your agent with Terraform. Through this series, we've built Azure AI agents that can reason, call functions, and coordinate multi-agent workflows. But ask one about today's news, current stock prices, or this week's weather, and it either hallucinates or admits its training data has a cutoff. Bing Grounding connects your agent to real-time web search. When the agent determines it needs current information, it searches Bing, retrieves relevant results, and generates a response grounded in those results with URL citations. The agent decides when to search. Bing provides the facts. Your users get accurate, sourced answers. 🎯 🏗️ How Bing Grounding Works User: "What's the weather in Seattle today?" ↓ Agent analyzes request → determines it needs current
