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 5.1 | $0.00078 | $0.01941 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00971 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00388 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00194 |
Grade A, and why
deploying-azure-container-apps scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Deploying Azure Container Apps
Scale-to-zero Docker containers for workloads SWA + FC1 can't handle: long-running servers, WebSocket/SSE, streaming, custom runtimes, multi-process sidecars, and run-to-completion background jobs.
When to use Container Apps
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| CRUD API + React frontend | SWA — not this |
| Timer/queue trigger, AI workload, < 30 min | FC1 — not this |
| Long-running HTTP server, > 30s requests | Container App (this skill) |
| WebSocket / SSE / streaming | Container App with --request-timeout 1800 |
| Sidecar (e.g. headless browser, embedded DB) | Container App multi-container |
| Batch / cron / one-shot processor | Container Apps Job (this skill, jobs section) |
| Multiple related apps sharing logs/networking | Shared managed environment (this skill) |
Cost defaults
| State | Cost |
|---|---|
Idle (minReplicas: 0) |
$0 |
| Active (0.25 vCPU, 0.5 GiB) | pennies/month at low traffic |
Always warm (minReplicas: 1) |
~$5/month (no cold start) |
| Log Analytics workspace | bound by dailyQuotaGb on the workspace (see instrumenting-azure-app-insights) |
Critical pattern: share the managed environment
A Microsoft.App/managedEnvironments resource is the unit that owns networking + Log Analytics. One environment can host many Container Apps and Jobs. Sharing saves Log Analytics workspace cost and simplifies VNet wiring.
// One env created once
module env 'modules/managedEnv.bicep' = { ... }
// Multiple apps reuse it
module appA 'modules/containerApp.bicep' = {
params: { managedEnvironmentId: env.outputs.id, ... }
}
module appB 'modules/containerApp.bicep' = {
params: { managedEnvironmentId: env.outputs.id, ... }
}
module syncJob 'modules/containerAppJob.bicep' = {
params: { environmentId: env.outputs.id, ... }
}

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.

deploying-azure-container-apps is a skill published in the GitHub repository alexpizarro/azure-lean-stack-skills (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,941 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
