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 | $0.00573 | $0.00573 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00287 | $0.00287 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00115 | $0.00115 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00057 | $0.00057 |
Grade A, and why
AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot kubernetes.instructions.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 yesterday.
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 — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AKS + ACA infrastructure conventions
Container images
- Base:
python:3.11-slim. - Multi-stage:
builderstage installs deps withuv pip install --system, runtime stage copies/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages+ app code. - Non-root user:
RUN useradd -m -u 10001 zavathenUSER zava. - Agents expose port
8000and run uvicorn on0.0.0.0:8000; MCP servers expose port8080and run FastMCP streamable HTTP on/mcp. - Image label
org.opencontainers.image.sourceset to repo URL.
Helm (AKS)
- One chart at
infra/aks/helm/zavashop. Each agent is a subchart or avalues-<agent>.yaml. - Required values:
image.repository,image.tag,workloadIdentity.clientId,keyVault.name,tenantId, anda2a.<name>specialist URLs. - Every Deployment includes:
serviceAccountName: <agent>-sawithazure.workload.identity/use: "true".readinessProbeandlivenessProbeon/readyzand/healthz.resources.requests:200mCPU /256Mi.limits:1CPU /1Gi.topologySpreadConstraintsacross zones for the orchestrator.
Bicep (ACA)
infra/aca/main.bicepparameters:acrName,envName,uamiId,copilotModel.- Each ACA module accepts
minReplicas; Lab 05 deploys specialists and MCPs withminReplicas: 1for reliable smoke/eval runs,maxReplicas: 10, and an HTTP concurrent-requests rule of 30. - All env vars referencing secrets use
secretRef. Secret values are pulled from Key Vault via thekeyVaultUrlproperty on the container app.
Networking
- AKS uses Azure CNI Overlay, private cluster, API server VNet integration off (lab simplicity — flag for production).
- Lab 05 exposes ACA specialists and MCP servers with HTTPS ingress so the AKS orchestrator can call their FQDNs from the lab network. Production landing zones should prefer private ingress, private DNS, and controlled egress once VNet integration is in place.
Tags
Every Azure resource: project=zavashop, lab=<n>, owner=<your-alias>.
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.

AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot kubernetes.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository microsoft/AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot (7 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 573 tokens to every session, about $0.0029 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 2026-08-31.
