Python: Bug: logging agent steps does nothing

[parzi-val]

Describe the bug
I was following the multi agent orchestrating - handoff tutorial and it has this piece of code which says its for logging the different steps involved in the entire process.

def agent_response_callback(message: ChatMessageContent) -> None:
    """Observer function to print the messages from the agents.

    Please note that this function is called whenever the agent generates a response,
    including the internal processing messages (such as tool calls) that are not visible
    to other agents in the orchestration.
    """
    print(f"{message.name}: {message.content}")
    for item in message.items:
        if isinstance(item, FunctionCallContent):
            print(f"Calling '{item.name}' with arguments '{item.arguments}'")
        if isinstance(item, FunctionResultContent):
            print(f"Result from '{item.name}' is '{item.result}'")

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run this file

Expected behavior

That's interesting, @parzi-val and @hjerbii. I am running the sample and I see:

TriageAgent: Hello! Thank you for reaching out to customer support. How can I assist you today?
User: I have a problem with my product. I want to make a return.
TriageAgent: 
Calling 'Handoff-transfer_to_OrderReturnAgent' with arguments '{}'
TriageAgent: 
Result from 'Handoff-transfer_to_OrderReturnAgent' is 'None'
TriageAgent: 
OrderReturnAgent: I can help you with that. Could you please provide your order ID and the reason for the return?
User: My order is 123. The product doesn't work.
Processing return for order 123 due to: The product doesn't work
OrderReturnAgent: 
Calling 'OrderReturnPlugin-process_return' with arguments '{"order_id":"123","reason":"The product doesn't work"}'
OrderReturnAgent: 
Result from 'OrderReturnPlugin-process_return' is 'Return for order 123 has been processed successfully.'
OrderReturnAgent: The return for your order 123 has been processed successfully. If there's anything else you need assistance with, feel free to let me know.

I am also using Azure OpenAI gpt-4o.

Well i haven't changed anything from the example file. But the logs did appear when I was running a different handoff orchestration which was wrapped in an azure function. I'm not sure if the logs were not properly initialized in the example file which was somehow initialized by the azure functions framework. But yeah you can close this.

Thanks, @parzi-val. Let us know, either in this issue or a new one, if you hit anything else unexpected.

Thanks, @parzi-val. Let us know, either in this issue or a new one, if you hit anything else unexpected.

actually yeah I have been getting weird behaviours all over but it's very specific to open up an issue, I'd like it if you had a community page or discussions page where I can post some of those and figure out if I'm doing something wrong or if that's the intended behaviour (eg: one of my handoff orchestrations panicked and made like 30 llm calls and I got rate limited lmao).
