azure

A command-line setup helper for connecting Crabbox to Microsoft Azure, a cloud platform. It uses the Azure CLI to find and save your subscription, tenant, and location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to log in to Azure, choose a subscription by name or ID, set a location, and prepare Azure-backed Crabbox leases or commands.
Why use it?
It avoids repeating Azure environment settings every time you run a Crabbox command. It also checks that your login can obtain the required access token.

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 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 3d 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

crabbox azure groups Azure provider setup commands. It currently has a single subcommand, azure login, which captures your Azure subscription details into the user config so direct-mode Azure leases work without exporting AZURE_* environment variables on every invocation.

azure login

crabbox azure login detects the active Azure subscription from the local az CLI, validates that credentials can acquire a management-plane token, and stores the subscription, tenant, and location in the user config.

Prerequisites

  1. Install the Azure CLI (az must be on your PATH).
  2. Run az login and select the subscription you want Crabbox to use.

Usage

# Use the active az CLI subscription and the default location (eastus):
crabbox azure login

# Pick a specific subscription by ID or name:
crabbox azure login --subscription 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

# Pick a specific location:
crabbox azure login --location westus2

# Emit JSON for scripting:
crabbox azure login --json

After login succeeds, crabbox warmup --provider azure and crabbox run --provider azure -- <command> work immediately.

Flags

--subscription <id|name>    Azure subscription ID or name (default: active az CLI subscription)
--location <location>       Azure location for provisioning (default: eastus)
--json                      Print JSON output

What it does

  1. Runs az account show (with --subscription when you pass --subscription) to read the subscription ID, tenant ID, and subscription name.
  2. Validates that DefaultAzureCredential can acquire a token for the Azure Resource Manager scope (https://management.azure.com/.default). If this fails, run az login and retry.
  3. Writes azure.subscriptionId, azure.tenantId, and azure.location to the writable user config file (for example ~/.config/crabbox/config.yaml).
  4. Sets provider: azure only when no default provider is already configured.

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository openclaw/crabbox (1,343 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 830 tokens. 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.
