Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00130 | $0.00767 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00065 | $0.00383 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00153 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00077 |
Grade A, and why
azure-hosted-copilot-sdk 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 10d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub Copilot SDK on Azure
Step 1: Route
| User wants | Action |
|---|---|
| Build new (empty project) | Step 2A (scaffold) |
| Add new SDK service to existing repo | Step 2B (scaffold alongside) |
| Deploy existing SDK app to Azure | Step 2C (add infra to existing SDK app) |
| Add SDK to existing app code | Integrate SDK |
| Use Azure/own model | Step 3 (BYOM config) |
Step 2A: Scaffold New (Greenfield)
azd init --template azure-samples/copilot-sdk-service
Template includes API (Express/TS) + Web UI (React/Vite) + infra (Bicep) + Dockerfiles + token scripts — do NOT recreate. See SDK ref.
Step 2B: Add SDK Service to Existing Repo
User has existing code and wants a new Copilot SDK service alongside it. Scaffold template to a temp dir, copy the API service + infra into the user's repo, adapt azure.yaml to include both existing and new services. See deploy existing ref.
Step 2C: Deploy Existing SDK App
User already has a working Copilot SDK app and needs Azure infra. See deploy existing ref.
Step 3: Model Configuration
Three model paths (layers on top of 2A/2B):
| Path | Config |
|---|---|
| GitHub default | No model param — SDK picks default |
| GitHub specific | model: "<name>" — use listModels() to discover |
| Azure BYOM | model + provider with bearerToken via DefaultAzureCredential |
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 68 lines · 130 tokens per session scan A 4a70988eb6e7
azure-hosted-copilot-sdk is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathan-vella/apex-accelerator (50 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 767 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
