Getting it into your agent
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.01823 | $0.01823 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00911 | $0.00911 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00365 | $0.00365 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00182 | $0.00182 |
Grade A, and why
azure-sdk-for-java AGENTS.md 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This file provides guidance for AI agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Model Context Protocol servers, or other LLM-based assistants) interacting with the Azure SDK for Java repository.
Repository Purpose
The Azure SDK for Java provides developers with libraries for accessing Azure services. The SDK is organized into client libraries, with each library corresponding to an Azure service. The repository follows a specific structure:
- Client Libraries: Located in
/sdkdirectory, containing individual service clients - Data plane Libraries: Libraries with Maven group
com.azure - Management Libraries: Libraries with Maven group
com.azure.resourcemanager - Spring Libraries: Libraries with Maven group
com.azure.spring
Repository Structure
/sdk/ # Individual service client libraries
/eng/ # Engineering system files and automation
/doc/ # Documentation
/samples/ # Sample code and tutorials
/.github/ # GitHub-specific configuration
/copilot-instructions.md # Detailed Copilot-specific instructions

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-sdk-for-java AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-java (2,566 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,823 tokens to every session, about $0.0091 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.
