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

update-avm-modules-in-bicep 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 8d 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.

Update Azure Verified Modules in Bicep Files

Update Bicep file ${file} to use latest Azure Verified Module (AVM) versions. Limit progress updates to non-breaking changes. Don't output information other than the final output table and summary.

Process

  1. Scan: Extract AVM modules and current versions from ${file}
  2. Identify: List all unique AVM modules used by matching avm/res/{service}/{resource} using #search tool
  3. Check: Use #fetch tool to get latest version of each AVM module from MCR: https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/bicep/avm/res/{service}/{resource}/tags/list
  4. Compare: Parse semantic versions to identify AVM modules needing update
  5. Review: For breaking changes, use #fetch tool to get docs from: https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/res/{service}/{resource}
  6. Update: Apply version updates and parameter changes using #editFiles tool
  7. Validate: Run bicep lint and bicep build using #runCommands tool to ensure compliance.
  8. Output: Summarize changes in a table format with summary of updates below.

Tool Usage

Always use tools #search, #searchResults,#fetch, #editFiles, #runCommands, #todos if available. Avoid writing code to perform tasks.

Breaking Change Policy

⚠️ PAUSE for approval if updates involve:

  • Incompatible parameter changes
  • Security/compliance modifications
  • Behavioral changes

Output Format

Only display results in table with icons:

| Module | Current | Latest | Status | Action | Docs |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|--------|------|
| avm/res/compute/vm | 0.1.0 | 0.2.0 | 🔄 | Updated | [📖](link) |
| avm/res/storage/account | 0.3.0 | 0.3.0 | ✅ | Current | [📖](link) |

### Summary of Updates

Describe updates made, any manual reviews needed or issues encountered.

Icons

  • 🔄 Updated
  • ✅ Current
  • ⚠️ Manual review required
  • ❌ Failed
  • 📖 Documentation

Requirements

  • Use MCR tags API only for version discovery
  • Parse JSON tags array and sort by semantic versioning
  • Maintain Bicep file validity and linting compliance

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.
