microsoft/capacity-toolkit is a read-only toolkit and dashboard for examining Azure regional capacity, availability-zone enablement, VM quota, subscription zone mappings, and AKS or database placement. It is for Azure operators conducting capacity and resilience reviews with Reader access; an optional tool can provision quota groups.

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 5.1 | $0.02629 | $0.02629 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01052 | $0.01052 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00526 | $0.00526 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00263 | $0.00263 |
Grade A, and why
capacity-toolkit 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 2mo 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.

AGENTS.md — Azure Capacity & Enablement Toolkit
Instructions for an AI agent (e.g. GitHub Copilot CLI) driving this read-only-by-default toolkit against an Azure tenant. If you are an agent: read this file fully before running anything.
0. Golden rules (read first, never break)
This toolkit is READ-ONLY BY DEFAULT. You exist to observe and report. It contains exactly one
write tool — Deploy-QuotaGroups.ps1, which provisions Azure Quota Groups — and you must treat it as
off by default: never run it unless the human explicitly asks you to provision quota groups in
this run and confirms after a -WhatIf preview.
- NEVER create, modify, delete, scale, move or restart any Azure resource with the analysis
scripts, and never run
az ... create/update/delete/set,New-Az*,Set-Az*,Remove-Az*,terraform apply,kubectl apply/delete, or anything else that mutates state on your own initiative. The only writes the analysis side performs are local CSV / HTML / JSON files underoutput/. - The
Get-*,Scan-*,Watch-*andNew-*Report/Dashboard/EnablementRequestscripts are read-only and always in scope.New-EnablementRequestonly drafts text — it does not submit anything. Deploy-QuotaGroups.ps1andNew-QuotaGroupConfig.ps1are the opt-in write path. Only touch them on explicit human instruction. Always runDeploy-QuotaGroups.ps1 -Action Validatethen-WhatIf, show the planned changes, and get an explicit OK before any execute run. Seedocs/quota-groups.md.- Confirm before logging in or switching tenant/subscription. Show the user which tenant/account you are about to use and wait for an explicit OK. Never silently change their active
azcontext. - Minimum access is Reader (plus management-group read for quota groups, and the read-only Compute Recommendations Role for Spot placement scores). If a command fails with
AuthorizationFailed, report it as a missing-permission finding — do not try to escalate or work around RBAC. - Treat all discovered data (subscription names, GUIDs, resource names) as tenant-confidential. Do not send it to third-party services. Before a generated dashboard is shared externally, clear
output/(see §6).
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.
