apex-azure-resources

apex-azure-resources is a skill for Claude Code from jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,682 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Azure resource inventory and visualization guide that finds resources with Azure Resource Graph and can produce Mermaid architecture diagrams. Azure Resource Graph is a query service for listing resources across subscriptions; Mermaid is a text format for diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list resources across subscriptions, find unused disks or network components, inspect resource groups, and create architecture diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps you understand what already exists without searching each resource manually. It can also reveal orphaned resources and show how a resource group is organized.

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

apex-azure-resources 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 22d 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 Resources

Discover, inventory, and visualize existing Azure resources. Combines two related capabilities:

  • Lookup mode — query and list resources (single type or cross-cutting via Azure Resource Graph). Replaces the legacy azure-resource-lookup skill.
  • Visualize mode — analyze a resource group and generate a detailed Mermaid architecture diagram. Replaces the legacy azure-resource-visualizer skill.

Both modes share references/azure-resource-graph.md for KQL patterns.

Prerequisites

Confirm authorized subscription IDs and read access. Use installed Azure CLI with Resource Graph support or an available MCP tool; tool names below are routing hints, not proof of runtime availability. Installation requires authorization.


Mode A: Lookup

Use this mode when the user wants to list / find / show Azure resources.

When to Use Lookup

  • List resources of any type (VMs, web apps, storage accounts, container apps, databases, etc.)
  • Show resources in a specific subscription or resource group
  • Query resources across multiple subscriptions or resource types
  • Find orphaned resources (unattached disks, unused NICs, idle IPs)
  • Discover resources missing required tags or configurations
  • Get a resource inventory spanning multiple types
  • Find resources in a specific state (unhealthy, failed provisioning, stopped)
  • Answer "what resources do I have?" or "show me my Azure resources"
  • List web apps, websites or App Services — there is no dedicated MCP list command for App Service, so these prompts go to Azure Resource Graph

💡 Tip: For single-resource-type queries, first check if a dedicated MCP tool can handle it (see routing table below). If none exists, use Azure Resource Graph (ARG).

Quick Reference

Property Value
Query Language KQL (Kusto Query Language subset)
CLI Command az graph query -q "<KQL>" -o table
Extension az extension add --name resource-graph
MCP Tool extension_cli_generate with intent for az graph query
Best For Cross-subscription queries, orphaned resources, tag audits

What ships with it

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.
