Azure Skills Plugin is an agent plugin that packages Azure-specific guidance with MCP server configurations for carrying out Azure work. Coding agents use it to plan, deploy, troubleshoot, monitor, govern, and optimize Azure applications and services. The catalogue entries are the plugin's skills, instructions, and execution integrations.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

azure-cost 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to azure-cost — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

}What it installs
The manifest is a name and a version. 4 skills, 1 MCP server travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 392 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.
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.
