How to process background job queues with your AI

Connect your AI to Azure Service Bus once. From there, your agent acts as a worker that pulls, handles, and clears tasks automatically.

Short answer

How can my AI process Azure Service Bus messages?

Your agent pulls messages from the queue, performs the work, and then marks them as complete. This keeps your queue clean and ensures tasks are handled without manual intervention.

Where tasks land.

The outcome of every job.

The AI moves messages through different states based on the result of the work.

SUCCESS

Completed tasks

The AI finishes the job and clears the message. These tasks are removed from the queue so they don't run again.

PENDING

Active processing

The AI has pulled a message and is currently working on it. The task is locked while your agent handles the logic.

ERROR

Needs the human

If the AI hits a wall it can't get past, the message stays in the queue. You'll need to step in to resolve these.

NEW

Waiting jobs

Fresh messages sit in the queue ready for the AI to pick them up. These are the starting point for all background work.

The workflow

What your AI does when a message arrives.

The AI follows a loop to ensure every message is handled or left for you to fix.

  1. Fetch the message

    The agent looks into the Azure Service Bus Queue to find the next available task.

    pull_message

  2. Run the task

    Your AI reads the message payload and carries out the specific instructions inside.

    pull_message

  3. Confirm completion

    Once the work is done, the agent tells the queue the task was successful.

    acknowledge_message

  4. Clear the queue

    By acknowledging the message, the agent removes it so it won't be processed a second time.

    acknowledge_message

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete messages?

    No. The AI uses the acknowledge tool to mark messages as complete, which effectively removes them.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new queues?

    No. This MCP only interacts with messages within existing queues.

  • 03

    What happens if the AI crashes mid-task?

    If the AI doesn't acknowledge the message, it stays in the queue to be picked up again later.

  • 04

    Can the AI change queue settings?

    No. The AI can only pull and acknowledge messages; it cannot modify the queue configuration.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle multiple queues?

    Yes. You can tell your agent which specific queue to pull from in your prompts.
