azure-identity-dotnet

azure-identity-dotnet is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from benjaminasterA/antigravity-awesome-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,113 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of azure-identity-dotnet, MIT.

A .NET library for authenticating applications with Microsoft Azure through Microsoft Entra ID, formerly called Azure Active Directory. It supports environment credentials, managed identities, service principals, certificates, and developer tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when .NET applications need authenticated access to Azure services or when ASP.NET Core applications need Azure credential configuration.
Why use it?
It lets one authentication approach cover local development, CI/CD, and Azure-hosted applications. This reduces environment-specific login code.

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-identity-dotnet 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 9d 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.

dotnet add package Azure.Identity.Broker

Current Versions: Stable v1.17.1, Preview v1.18.0-beta.2

Environment Variables

Service Principal with Secret

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<application-client-id>
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<directory-tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret-value>

Service Principal with Certificate

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<application-client-id>
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<directory-tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PATH=<path-to-pfx-or-pem>
AZURE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD=<certificate-password>  # Optional

Managed Identity

AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<user-assigned-managed-identity-client-id>  # Only for user-assigned

DefaultAzureCredential

The recommended credential for most scenarios. Tries multiple authentication methods in order:

Order Credential Enabled by Default
1 EnvironmentCredential Yes
2 WorkloadIdentityCredential Yes
3 ManagedIdentityCredential Yes
4 VisualStudioCredential Yes
5 VisualStudioCodeCredential Yes
6 AzureCliCredential Yes
7 AzurePowerShellCredential Yes
8 AzureDeveloperCliCredential Yes
9 InteractiveBrowserCredential No

Basic Usage

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.Storage.Blobs;

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var blobClient = new BlobServiceClient(
    new Uri("https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net"),
    credential);

ASP.NET Core with Dependency Injection

using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Azure;

builder.Services.AddAzureClients(clientBuilder =>
{
    clientBuilder.AddBlobServiceClient(
        new Uri("https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net"));
    clientBuilder.AddSecretClient(
        new Uri("https://myvault.vault.azure.net"));
    
    // Uses DefaultAzureCredential by default
    clientBuilder.UseCredential(new DefaultAzureCredential());
});
