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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00016 | $0.02049 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01025 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00410 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00205 |
Grade B, and why
azure-functions-setup scanned grade B 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 today.
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.
Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
**How to detect availability**: Check your current tool/skill list for the above skill names. If they appear in the list of available skills (e.g., in `<available_skills>` or equivalent plugin registry), they are install How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 121 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-setup — Azure Functions Environment Setup
Verify that the developer's environment has all prerequisites for Azure Functions development.
Checks
Run each check and report results:
az --version # Azure CLI ≥ 2.60 (≥ 2.87.0 for Go deployments)
azd version # Azure Developer CLI, required for Azure Skills deployment workflows
func --version # Azure Functions Core Tools ≥ 4.x (≥ 4.12 for Go projects)
node --version # Node.js 24 or 22 for new Node.js/TypeScript projects
python --version # Python 3.13 preferred; 3.10-3.13 supported for Python projects
python3 --version # Use this fallback when python is not on PATH
dotnet --version # .NET SDK ≥ 8.0 (if .NET project)
go version # Go 1.24 or later (if Go project; Go support is in preview)
Run the language checks that match the user's project or stated intent. Do not report a missing Go toolchain as a problem for a Python project, and do not report a missing Python interpreter as a problem for a Go project.
Azure Skills Plugin Check
Azure Functions deployment is proxied through the Azure Skills deployment workflow. For deployment scenarios, verify that the Azure Skills plugin is installed and that these skills are available:
azure-prepareazure-validateazure-deploy
How to detect availability: Check your current tool/skill list for the above skill names. If they appear in the list of available skills (e.g., in <available_skills> or equivalent plugin registry), they are installed. You do not need to run any commands — the presence of these skills in the agent's tool list is sufficient confirmation.
If the Azure Skills plugin is missing, install it for the active host before using azure-functions-deploy.
| Host | Install guidance |
|---|---|
| GitHub Copilot CLI | /plugin marketplace add microsoft/azure-skills, then /plugin install azure@azure-skills |
| Claude Code | /plugin install azure@claude-plugins-official |
| Codex CLI | codex plugin marketplace add microsoft/azure-skills, then install azure from /plugins |
| VS Code | Install the Azure MCP extension and companion Azure Skills integration, then reload VS Code |
| GitHub Copilot fallback | npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/azure-skills/tree/main/.github/plugins/azure-skills/skills -a github-copilot -g -y |
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-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-functions-skills (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 2,049 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
