In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare Azure regions or service options and prepare cost estimates for a planned workload.
Why use it?
It helps answer cost questions with current retail pricing instead of relying on outdated estimates or manually comparing many service options.

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-pricing 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.

Azure Pricing Skill

Use this skill to retrieve real-time Azure retail pricing data from the public Azure Retail Prices API. No authentication is required.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks about the cost of an Azure service (e.g., "How much does a D4s v5 VM cost?")
  • User wants to compare pricing across regions or SKUs
  • User needs a cost estimate for a workload or architecture
  • User mentions Azure pricing, Azure costs, or Azure billing
  • User asks about reserved instance vs. pay-as-you-go pricing
  • User wants to know about savings plans or spot pricing

API Endpoint

GET https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?api-version=2023-01-01-preview

Append $filter as a query parameter using OData filter syntax. Always use api-version=2023-01-01-preview to ensure savings plan data is included.

Step-by-step Instructions

If anything is unclear about the user's request, ask clarifying questions to identify the correct filter fields and values before calling the API.

  1. Identify filter fields from the user's request (service name, region, SKU, price type).
  2. Resolve the region: the API requires armRegionName values in lowercase with no spaces (e.g. "East US" → eastus, "West Europe" → westeurope, "Southeast Asia" → southeastasia). See references/REGIONS.md for a complete list.
  3. Build the filter string using the fields below and fetch the URL.
  4. Parse the Items array from the JSON response. Each item contains price and metadata.
  5. Follow pagination via NextPageLink if you need more than the first 1000 results (rarely needed).
  6. Calculate cost estimates using the formulas in references/COST-ESTIMATOR.md to produce monthly/annual estimates.
  7. Present results in a clear summary table with service, SKU, region, unit price, and monthly/annual estimates.

Filterable Fields

Field Type Example
serviceName string (exact, case-sensitive) 'Functions', 'Virtual Machines', 'Storage'
serviceFamily string (exact, case-sensitive) 'Compute', 'Storage', 'Databases', 'AI + Machine Learning'
armRegionName string (exact, lowercase) 'eastus', 'westeurope', 'southeastasia'
armSkuName string (exact) 'Standard_D4s_v5', 'Standard_LRS'
skuName string (contains supported) 'D4s v5'
priceType string 'Consumption', 'Reservation', 'DevTestConsumption'
meterName string (contains supported) 'Spot'

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.
