Azure SDK for .NET is a repository containing the actively developed C# libraries that applications use to work with Azure services. It is for .NET developers building software that connects to Azure storage, management, and other cloud services.

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 | $0.00085 | $0.00591 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.00296 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00118 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00059 |
Grade A, and why
azsdk-common-sdk-release 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 12d 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.
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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
SDK Release
This skill checks release readiness and triggers the Azure SDK release pipeline for packages that are already prepared, guiding the user through prerequisite validation, readiness review, and the final pipeline launch with required approval steps.
Triggers
USE FOR: release SDK, trigger release, check release readiness, release pipeline, publish package, ship SDK WHEN: "release SDK", "trigger release", "check release readiness", "release pipeline", "publish package", "ship SDK" DO NOT USE FOR: SDK development, code generation, pipeline debugging, release plan creation
Rules
- Requires the
azure-sdk-mcpserver; there is no CLI fallback for the release workflow. - Collect
packageNameandlanguage, then run the readiness check before attempting to trigger release. - If release is triggered, show the pipeline link and remind the user that the release stage still requires approval.
MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk |
Check release readiness and/or trigger the release pipeline |
Steps
- Collect Info — Get
packageNameandlanguagefrom the user. Optionally getbranch(defaults to main). - Determine Intent — If the user explicitly asks to "check readiness" or "check if ready", run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: true. Otherwise, proceed to trigger the release directly. - Trigger Release — Run
azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdkwithcheckReady: false(the default). Show pipeline link and inform user they must approve the release stage. - Review Results — If the release fails due to readiness issues, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.
Examples
- "Check if azure-storage-blob is ready for release"
- "Trigger release for @azure/core-rest-pipeline on JavaScript"
Troubleshooting
What ships with it
2 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.
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.

azsdk-common-sdk-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-net (6,050 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
