What is azure-openai?

A guide to using OpenAI language models through Microsoft Azure, with Azure authentication and custom endpoints.

Use it when building or operating applications that call Azure OpenAI, especially when authentication, filtering, retries, or deployment settings matter.

It explains Azure-specific requirements such as deploying a model first, using its deployment ID, handling content filtering, and retrying rate-limit errors.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00569
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00228

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-openai 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (examples/basic.py, examples/basic.ts, examples/chat.ts, …), 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.

Azure OpenAI API Skill

Quick Start

Azure OpenAI provides the same models as OpenAI (GPT-4) but within the Azure compliance boundary, utilizing Active Directory and custom domain endpoints.

npm install openai

Common Workflows

Enterprise Model Deployment

Unlike the public OpenAI API, Azure requires you to explicitly deploy a model in your resource. You must use your unique Deployment ID rather than the generic model name (e.g., gpt-4) in your API calls.

Production Patterns

Content Filtering

Azure OpenAI applies aggressive, customizable content filters. You can detect if a response was filtered by inspecting the finish_reason which will evaluate to content_filter instead of stop.

Error Recovery

Handle 429 Too Many Requests. Azure OpenAI rate limits are based on Tokens-Per-Minute (TPM) assigned to your deployment. If you exceed this, you must retry. Use the @azure/core-rest-pipeline to inject automated retry policies.

Security Notes

Avoid static API keys. Use Managed Identities (Entra ID / Azure AD) to authenticate your application servers to the Azure OpenAI endpoint securely without rotating secrets.

Performance Considerations

Latency is heavily dependent on the Azure region. Deploy your models in the same region as your application servers to minimize network RTT (Round Trip Time).

Testing Guidance

Use the official OpenAI SDK, but configure the baseURL and defaultHeaders to point to your Azure endpoint (https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/<deployment>).

Troubleshooting

If you receive a 'Resource not found' error, verify that the api-version query parameter is correct and supported by your specific model deployment.

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
