+## Configuration
+
+### Step 1: Create Environment File
+
+Copy `.env.template` to `.env`:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.template .env
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Required Variables
+
+**For Azure OpenAI (recommended):**
+```env
+AZURE_API_KEY=your-azure-openai-key
+AZURE_API_BASE=https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/
+AZURE_API_VERSION=2025-01-01-preview
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your-azure-openai-key  # CrewAI requires this
+OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=azure/gpt-4.1       # Use azure/ prefix for LiteLLM
+```
+
+**For OpenAI:**
+```env
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-key
+OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o-mini
+```
+
+**For MCP Tools (Mail, Calendar, Copilot):**
+```env
+BEARER_TOKEN=<run: a365 develop get-token -o raw>
+USE_AGENTIC_AUTH=false
+AGENTIC_APP_ID=crewai-agent
+```
+
+**For Weather Tool:**
+```env
+TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-your-tavily-key
+```
 
 ## Running the Agent
 
-   ## Customizing
-    - Add your `OPENAI_API_KEY` into `.env`.
-    - Modify `src/crew_agent/config/agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`.
-    - Edit `src/crew_agent/crew.py` and `src/crew_agent/main.py` for your logic.
+### Option 1: Run via Agent Runner (Standalone)
+
+```bash
+uv run python -m crew_agent.agent_runner "London"
+# or
+uv run agent_runner "San Francisco, CA"
+```
+
+### Option 2: Hosted via Generic Agent Host (Recommended)
+
+This option integrates with Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for full observability and MCP tooling.
 
-   ## Running the Project
+1. Ensure `.env` is configured (see above)
 
-   ### Option 1: Run via Agent Runner
+2. Get a bearer token for MCP authentication:
    ```bash
-    python -m crew_agent.agent_runner "London"
-    # or
-    agent_runner "San Francisco, CA"
+   a365 develop get-token -o raw
    ```
+   Copy the token to `BEARER_TOKEN` in `.env`
+
+3. Start the agent host:
+   ```bash
+   uv run python start_with_generic_host.py
+   ```
+
+4. Test endpoints:
+   - Health check: `http://localhost:3978/api/health`
+   - Bot Framework: `http://localhost:3978/api/messages`
+
+5. Connect with Agents Playground:
+   ```bash
+   agentsplayground -e "http://localhost:3978/api/messages" -c "emulator"
+   ```
+
+### Example Prompts
+
+```
+Find weather in Dublin and email the information to user@example.com under the subject "Weather Report"
+```
+
+```
+What's the weather in Seattle? Is it safe to drive with summer tires?
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Agent Workflow
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────────────┐
+│  Weather Information    │────▶│  Driving Safety          │
+│  Specialist             │     │  Specialist              │
+│  (Tavily + MCP Tools)   │     │  (MCP Tools only)        │
+└─────────────────────────┘     └──────────────────────────┘
+         │                                │
+         ▼                                ▼
+   Weather Report              Safety Assessment + Email
+```
+
+### MCP Tools Available
+
+When connected with a valid bearer token, the following MCP servers are available:
+
+| Server | Tools | Description |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| `mcp_MailTools` | 20 tools | Send/receive emails, manage drafts, attachments |
+| `mcp_CalendarTools` | 12 tools | Create/manage events, check availability |
+| `mcp_M365Copilot` | 1 tool | Query Microsoft 365 Copilot |
+
+### Observability Scopes
+
+All agent operations are traced with Agent 365 observability:
+
+- **InvokeAgentScope**: Wraps the entire agent invocation
+- **InferenceScope**: Wraps LLM calls (CrewAI crew execution)
+- **ExecuteToolScope**: Wraps each MCP tool execution

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| `No MCP tools discovered` | Ensure `BEARER_TOKEN` is set and not expired. Run `a365 develop get-token -o raw` |
+| `Weather tool returns no data` | Set `TAVILY_API_KEY` in `.env` |
+| `Azure OpenAI 401 error` | Verify `AZURE_API_KEY` and `AZURE_API_BASE` are correct |
+| `Duplicate emails sent` | Update `tasks.yaml` - only Driving Safety agent should send emails |
+| `CrewAI tracing 401` | This is expected when CrewAI cloud tracing is not configured. It can be safely ignored; local observability still works |
+
+### Logs to Check
 
-   ### Option 2: Hosted via Generic Agent Host with Agent 365 (Microsoft Agent365 SDK)
-   Mirrors the OpenAI/AgentFramework samples and adds Agent 365 observability + MCP server registration.
-
-   1) Copy `.env.template` to `.env` and fill:
-      - `CONNECTIONS__SERVICE_CONNECTION__SETTINGS__CLIENTID` / `CLIENTSECRET` / `TENANTID`
-      - `AGENTAPPLICATION__USERAUTHORIZATION__HANDLERS__AGENTIC__SETTINGS__TYPE` / `SCOPES` (already in template)
-      - `OBSERVABILITY_SERVICE_NAME` / `OBSERVABILITY_SERVICE_NAMESPACE`
-      - Optional: `BEARER_TOKEN` if you want agentic auth via bearer
-   2) Run host: `python start_with_generic_host.py`
-   3) Health: `http://localhost:3978/api/health` (auto-fallback to next port if busy)
-   4) Playground/Bot Framework endpoint: `http://localhost:3978/api/messages`
-      - Message text is forwarded into your CrewAI flow as the `location` input.
-      - MCP servers from the Agent 365 platform are discovered and passed to CrewAI agents (SSE transport with bearer headers).
-
-   Agent 365 observability:
-   - Configured via `microsoft_agents_a365.observability.core.configure` in `agent.py`
-   - Agentic token is cached/resolved for the exporter (see `token_cache.py`)
-   - Startup logs show a masked env snapshot
-
-## Understanding Your Crew
-1) **Weather Checker**: Uses web search (Tavily) to find current weather conditions  
-2) **Driving Safety Advisor**: Assesses whether it's safe to drive an MX-5 with summer tires based on weather data
