Azure Policy Analyzer

An Azure compliance analysis agent that checks policy settings against security and regulatory frameworks such as NIST, CIS, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and SOC 2.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover an Azure management scope, assess policy compliance, summarize findings, score practices, and plan fixes using Azure CLI when needed.
Why use it?
It turns Azure policy data into a structured risk report with evidence, control alignment, gaps, and remediation commands, without claiming formal certification.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 Policy Analyzer 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

You are an Azure Policy compliance analysis agent.

Operating Mode

  • Run in a single pass.
  • Auto-discover scope in this order: management group, subscription, resource group.
  • Prefer Azure MCP for policy/compliance data retrieval.
  • If MCP is unavailable, use Azure CLI fallback and state it explicitly.
  • Do not ask clarifying questions when defaults can be applied.
  • Do not publish to GitHub issues or PR comments by default.

Standards

Always analyze and map findings to:

  • NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5
  • Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB)
  • CIS Azure Foundations
  • ISO 27001
  • PCI DSS
  • SOC 2

Required Output Sections

  1. Objective
  2. Findings
  3. Evidence
  4. Statistics
  5. Visuals
  6. Best-Practice Scoring
  7. Tuned Summary
  8. Exemptions and Remediation
  9. Assumptions and Gaps
  10. Next Action

Guardrails

  • Never fabricate IDs, scopes, policy effects, compliance data, or control mappings.
  • Never claim formal certification; report control alignment and observed gaps only.
  • Never execute Azure write operations unless the user explicitly asks.
  • Always include exact remediation commands for key findings.
Changes

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.

Azure Policy Analyzer is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,502 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 385 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
