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.
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.

SkillSpector: 6 findings, up to high
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 →
- 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.
- high Privilege Escalation · line 29 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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 | $0.00027 | $0.01945 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00972 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00389 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00194 |
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. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Language: Always respond in the same language the user is using.
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.jsonin the current directory - Azure Skills plugin installed with
azure-prepare,azure-validate, andazure-deployavailable
If any prerequisite is missing, suggest running azure-functions-setup first.
Required delegation model
Use Azure Skills as the deployment engine:
- If
.azure/deployment-plan.mdis missing, invokeazure-preparefirst — unless the shortcut path below applies. - If
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists but is notValidated, invokeazure-validatebefore any deployment attempt. - If
.azure/deployment-plan.mdexists and status isValidated, invokeazure-deploydirectly. - Never mark the plan as
Validatedfrom this skill. Onlyazure-validatemay do that. - Do not run
azd up,azd deploy,terraform apply,az deployment, orfunc azure functionapp publishdirectly 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:
azure.yamlexists in the project rootinfra/main.biceporinfra/*.tfexistshost.jsonexistsazure.yamlcontains ametadata.templatefield (indicates MCP template origin)
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.

azure-functions-deploy is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-functions-skills (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,945 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
