azure-cosmos-db-py

azure-cosmos-db-py is a skill for Claude Code from Ghosteken/agent-harness. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,743 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of azure-cosmos-db-py, MIT.

A Python implementation guide for building services on Azure Cosmos DB, with an emphasis on clean code, secure authentication, and TDD, a practice of writing tests before the code they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Cosmos DB service behind FastAPI routes, configure authentication, handle HTTP errors, and develop it with tests.
Why use it?
It gives a structured approach for building and testing a Cosmos DB service instead of assembling database access and API wiring ad hoc.

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-cosmos-db-py 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

Cosmos DB Service Implementation

Build production-grade Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL services following clean code, security best practices, and TDD principles.

Installation

pip install azure-cosmos azure-identity

Environment Variables

COSMOS_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/
COSMOS_DATABASE_NAME=<database-name>
COSMOS_CONTAINER_ID=<container-id>
# For emulator only (not production)
COSMOS_KEY=<emulator-key>

Authentication

DefaultAzureCredential (preferred):

from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

client = CosmosClient(
    url=os.environ["COSMOS_ENDPOINT"],
    credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

Emulator (local development):

from azure.cosmos import CosmosClient

client = CosmosClient(
    url="https://localhost:8081",
    credential=os.environ["COSMOS_KEY"],
    connection_verify=False
)
