[Hosted Agents] Responses API broken for hosted agent invocation — "ID cannot be null" (since ~27 Feb 2026)

[suhanivk3-sketch]

Package Name: azure-ai-projects
Package Version: 2.0.0b4 (also reproduced on 2.0.0b1, 2.0.0b3)
Operating System: Windows 11 Enterprise
Python Version: 3.13.5
Additional packages: openai==2.24.0(also reproduced on openai==2.21.0) , azure-identity==1.26.0b2

Describe the bug

Hosted agent invocation via the Responses API stopped working approximately the week of Feb 27 2026 with no code changes or version upgrade on my side. The code was working correctly till 27th.

Failure :
openai.BadRequestError: Error code: 400
{"error": {"code": "bad_request", "message": "ID cannot be null or empty (Parameter 'id')"}}

This behavior is consistent across:

Both /openai/responses?api-version=2025-11-15-preview and /openai/v1/responses
Both SDK (openai_client.responses.create()) and raw requests REST calls
Multiple package versions of azure-ai-projects and openai

To Reproduce(The code is from Microsoft document - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry/agents/concepts/hosted-agents#invoke-hosted-agents)

# Before running the sample:
#    pip install --pre azure-ai-projects>=2.0.0b1
#    pip install azure-identity

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential,AzureCliCredential
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient

myEndpoint = "my_endpoint"

project_client = AIProjectClient(
    endpoint=myEndpoint,
    credential=AzureCliCredential(),
)

myAgent = "agent_name"
myVersion = "1"

openai_client = project_client.get_openai_client()

# Reference the agent to get a response
response = openai_client.responses.create(
    input=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me what you can help with."}],
    extra_body={"agent": {"name": myAgent, "version": myVersion, "type": "agent_reference"}},
)

print(f"Response output: {response.output_text}")
