Goal

Specify an agent name when using --local so you don't have to use the interactive picker when in a multi-agent project.

Context

Azure.yaml can contain multiple host: azure.ai.agent which point to different agent.yaml files (multi-agent)

Current Behavior

(foundry-hostedagentframework-demo) foundry-hostedagentframework-demo % azd ai agent invoke hosted-agentframework-agent --local "what perksplus benefits are there?"

ERROR: cannot use --local with a named agent; named agents are always invoked remotely on Foundry

Suggestion: omit the agent name for local invocation, or remove --local for remote

--local currently requires you to do an interactive selection:

(foundry-hostedagentframework-demo) foundry-hostedagentframework-demo % azd ai agent invoke --local "what perksplus benefits are there?"? Select an agent service: hosted-agentframework-agent

  Filter: Type to filter list

  > hosted-agentframework-agent    
  > hosted-agentframework-workflow

Desired Behavior

azd ai agent invoke hosted-agentframework-agent --local "what perksplus benefits are there?" works in the same way that it works without --local so you don't have to use the interactive menu.

Acceptance Criteria

• Unit tests added or updated
• Existing test suite passes
• Lint or format passes
• Remote invoke and local invoke work for both responses and invocations endpoints
