-When the AppHost starts up, the local foundry service is also started. This requires the local machine to have [Foundry Local](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-foundry/foundry-local/get-started) installed and running.
+When the AppHost starts, Aspire automatically starts the Foundry Local service using the `foundry` CLI (`foundry service start`). It then discovers the service endpoint, downloads and loads the specified models via CLI commands, and stops the service (`foundry service stop`) when the AppHost shuts down or is disposed. You do not need to pre-start Foundry Local manually.
 
-The `RunAsFoundryLocal` method configures the resource to run as an emulator. It downloads and loads the specified models locally. The method provides health checks for the local service and automatically manages the Foundry Local lifecycle.
+This requires the `foundry` CLI to be installed and available on `PATH`. For installation instructions, see [Foundry Local get started](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-foundry/foundry-local/get-started).

+The `RunAsFoundryLocal` method configures the resource to use the local service. It downloads and loads the specified models locally, provides health checks for the local service, and fully manages the Foundry Local lifecycle — including start and stop — through the `foundry` CLI.
