foundry-toolbox

foundry-toolbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiappsgbb/awesome-gbb. It costs 229 tokens per session (12,150 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for Microsoft Foundry Toolbox, a managed resource that groups several tools behind one Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint. MCP is a standard way for AI agents to connect to external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and manage versioned tool bundles, connect them to hosted agents, and promote or roll back immutable tool versions.
Why use it?
It centralizes tool connections, credentials, token renewal, and version changes in the Foundry project. Agents can use a changing set of tools without redeploying their application code.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 790
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.
  • low Excessive Agency · line 150
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

foundry-toolbox 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (references/python/mcp_text_extractor.py, references/python/toolbox_wiring.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Microsoft Foundry Toolbox GA - Reference Guide

The Foundry Toolbox is a GA managed resource that bundles versioned tools behind one MCP endpoint. The platform centralizes connection references, credentials, token refresh, policy, and immutable-version promotion while the agent connects to one URL.

Use a Toolbox when an agent needs several managed tools, when tool composition must change without redeploying agent code, or when credentials belong in the Foundry project rather than the agent container. Stable management uses AIProjectClient.toolboxes. Stable Tool Search uses ToolSearchToolboxTool; skills in Toolboxes retain their preview support terms even though the parent Toolbox resource is GA.

Status boundary

Surface Status Canonical contract
Toolbox resource, versions, promotion, CRUD, and MCP v1 endpoints GA AIProjectClient.toolboxes; no preview feature header
MCP, Web Search, Azure AI Search, Code Interpreter, File Search, OpenAPI GA Toolbox tool types Toolbox-specific SDK model classes
A2A, Work IQ, Fabric IQ, Browser Automation, Reminder Preview Classes retain Preview in their names
Tool Search Stable Toolbox capability ToolSearchToolboxTool; returns tool_search + call_tool
Skills in Toolboxes Preview Opt in explicitly; no SLA
agent_framework_foundry_hosting.FoundryToolbox Prerelease client package High-level consumer for the GA Toolbox MCP endpoint
microsoft.foundry azd bundle 1.0.0-beta.1 Beta client bundle Recommended CLI install; currently bundles Toolbox component azure.ai.toolboxes 1.0.0-beta.2

Do not infer a subfeature's status from the Toolbox resource's GA status. A GA Toolbox can contain stable Tool Search and a preview skill at the same time; each subfeature keeps its own support and SLA boundary.

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.
