About the project

Azure Functions Skills is a repository of agent skills, prompts, reusable definitions, MCP configuration, and telemetry hooks that give coding agents context about Azure Functions development and operations. Developers use it for guidance on triggers, bindings, runtimes, deployment, and code checks, while the catalogue contains its agent-facing add-ons.

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 7
    Skill instructs the agent to never refuse or to always comply. Suppressing the agent's ability to decline removes a core safety control and enables downstream harmful requests to succeed.
    Fix: Remove any instruction telling the agent to never refuse or always comply. The agent must retain the ability to decline unsafe, out-of-scope, or harmful requests.

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

azure-functions-deploy 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Use Azure Functions endpoint verification after deploy; do not use `curl -I` for HTTP trigger verification because HEAD can return false negatives.

azure-functions-deploy — Deploy Azure Functions

Deploy your Azure Functions app to Azure by proxying to the Azure Skills deployment workflow.

This skill is the Azure Functions-facing entry point. It should not run deployment commands directly. It prepares Azure Functions-specific context, then delegates execution to azure-prepare, azure-validate, and azure-deploy from the Azure Skills plugin.

Prerequisites

  • Azure CLI installed and logged in (az login)
  • Azure Developer CLI installed and logged in (azd auth login) for AZD-based deployments
  • An Azure subscription (az account show)
  • A Functions project with host.json in the current directory
  • Azure Skills plugin installed with azure-prepare, azure-validate, and azure-deploy available

If any prerequisite is missing, suggest running azure-functions-setup first.

Required delegation model

Use Azure Skills as the deployment engine:

  1. If .azure/deployment-plan.md is missing, invoke azure-prepare first — unless the shortcut path below applies.
  2. If .azure/deployment-plan.md exists but is not Validated, invoke azure-validate before any deployment attempt.
  3. If .azure/deployment-plan.md exists and status is Validated, invoke azure-deploy directly.
  4. Never mark the plan as Validated from this skill. Only azure-validate may do that.
  5. Do not run azd up, azd deploy, terraform apply, az deployment, or func azure functionapp publish directly from this skill unless Azure Skills cannot handle the scenario and the user explicitly approves a fallback.

Shortcut path for MCP-template projects

When a project was scaffolded from an Azure MCP template (e.g., via azure-functions-create Path A), it already contains complete infrastructure. Detect this by checking all of these conditions:

  1. azure.yaml exists in the project root
  2. infra/main.bicep or infra/*.tf exists
  3. host.json exists
  4. azure.yaml contains a metadata.template field (indicates MCP template origin)

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.
