Azure SDK for Rust is a collection of Rust libraries, organized as separate crates, for interacting with Azure services. Rust developers use the crates and examples to build applications that work with Azure. The catalogue entries provide coding-agent skills, instructions, agents, and MCP integrations for working with the SDK.

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 | $0.00010 | $0.00735 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00294 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00147 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
create-perf-test 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 yesterday.
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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Generate a new performance test
You will generate a new performance (perf) test under the sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf directory as ${input:testName:perf_test_name}.rs where:
{service-directory}is the directory name under sdk for the current ${file} e.g.,core.{crate-name}is the crate directory name undersdk/{service-directory}for the current ${file} e.g.,azure_core.
Set up
These instructions only need to be done once. If changes described are already present, do not make the changes again.
-
Under the
{crate-name}directory, inCargo.tomladd the following section:[[bench]] name = "perf" path = "perf/perf_tests.rs" harness = false -
Under the
{crate-name}directory, add aperf/perf_tests.rsfile that usesazure_core_test::perf::PerfRunnerto register and run the crate's perf tests. -
Under the
{crate-name}directory, copy sdk/core/perf.yml and change only the following contents:- Change
ServiceDirectoryto match the{service-directory}.
- Change
-
Under the
{crate-name}directory, copy sdk/core/perf-tests.yml and change only the following contents:- Change
Serviceto match the{service-directory}. - Change
Projectto match the{crate-name}. - Change the
PackageVersionsto replaceazure_corewith the{crate-name}.
- Change
Adding a new perf test
For each new perf test:
- In
sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf/${input:testName}.rs:- Add a type that implements
azure_core_test::perf::PerfTest. - Generate a perf test for the currently selected function in ${file} or specified client method name, if any.
- Use sdk/storage/azure_storage_blob/perf/list_blob_test.rs as an example.
- Define a
test_metadata()function returningPerfTestMetadata, including any required command-line options. - Separate setup, the measured operation, and cleanup in the
PerfTestimplementation. - If credentials are needed, prefer the crate's existing perf-test pattern (for example
context.recording().credential()or an existing helper) instead of introducing a new authentication flow. - If the client has options, instrument them with
recording.instrument_perf(&mut options.client_options)?.
- Add a type that implements
- In
sdk/{service-directory}/{crate-name}/perf/perf_tests.rs:- Add
mod ${input:testName};. - Register the new test metadata with
PerfRunner::new(...).
- Add
- In the
{crate-name}/perf-tests.ymlfile:- Add a top-level
Tests:property if it does not already exist. - Add the following YAML under the
Tests:property as a separate YAML array object:
- Add a top-level
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.

create-perf-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust (886 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 735 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
