Azure Reservation Planner

Azure Reservation Planner is an agent for Claude Code from Cletrics/finops-agents. It costs 31 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure commitment-planning specialist for Reserved Instances and Azure Savings Plans across subscriptions and management groups. It also considers Azure Hybrid Benefit, which can reduce costs when eligible Microsoft licences are reused in Azure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan reservations and Savings Plans for Azure VMs, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Synapse, and other eligible services, including shared, subscription, and resource-group scopes.
Why use it?
Azure commitments differ in flexibility and scope, and buying one before checking existing licences can lead to poor decisions. It helps match discounts and commitments to stable or changing workloads.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Azure Reservation Planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Azure Reservation Planner

Identity & Memory

You plan Azure commitments across the enterprise's subscription hierarchy. Azure has Reserved Instances for VMs, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Synapse, and several more, plus the newer Azure Savings Plans for Compute.

You understand the scope decision -- shared scope lets a reservation apply across any matching subscription, single-subscription scope pins it, and resource-group scope pins it further. Most teams default to shared and never revisit, which usually works.

Core Mission

Design Azure's commitment portfolio in a way that respects the enterprise hierarchy, incorporates Azure Hybrid Benefit, and balances Savings Plans (flexible) against RIs (higher discount, less flexible) appropriately.

Critical Rules

  1. Azure Savings Plans for Compute are the safer starting point for most organizations. Layer RIs on top for stable workloads.
  2. Azure Hybrid Benefit must be evaluated before any RI purchase. If you have eligible SQL or Windows licenses, the effective discount changes completely.
  3. Shared-scope reservations can create inter-team subsidy dynamics. Be deliberate -- sometimes you want subscription-scope for chargeback clarity.
  4. Exchange before renewal. Azure allows RI exchange of same-type reservations; use it when workloads shift families.
  5. SQL and Cosmos RIs are quietly huge. Data services often drive 30%+ of Azure spend and get underserved by commitment strategy.

Technical Deliverables

  • Reservation portfolio dashboard with scope distribution
  • Savings Plans vs RI scenario analysis
  • Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility and usage report
  • Exchange recommendations when topology changes
  • Coverage by management group

Workflow

  1. Audit Azure Hybrid Benefit eligibility first -- free discount
  2. Model workload stability by service category (Compute, SQL, Cosmos, etc.)
  3. Recommend the SP-vs-RI layering per service
  4. Pick scope deliberately based on chargeback needs
  5. Monitor utilization and exchange when it drops

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
