azure-cost-management-app

azure-cost-management-app is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from julianobarbosa/claude-code-skills. It costs 113 tokens per session (1,901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for installing and connecting Microsoft's Azure Cost Management template app in Power BI Service. Power BI Service is Microsoft's online platform for viewing and sharing reports, and the app displays Azure spending data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the app, connect an EA enrollment, choose the correct workspace workflow, and make Azure cost data available in Power BI Service.
Why use it?
It clarifies how the app creates its own workspace and helps connect it to real Enterprise Agreement billing data.

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-cost-management-app 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 11d 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 Cost Management App — Install & Connect Skill

End-to-end browser automation for deploying and connecting the Microsoft Azure Cost Management App in Power BI Service, targeting a specific workspace and EA enrollment.

When This Skill Applies

  • User wants to install the Azure Cost Management App from AppSource into Power BI
  • User wants to connect an existing Cost Management App installation to real EA data
  • User mentions enrollment number, EA connector, or "connect your data" on the Cost Management App
  • User wants Azure cost data visible in Power BI Service (not Power BI Desktop)

Key Facts (Read Before Starting)

Template app workspace behavior: Power BI template apps (like this one) always create their own auto-named workspace — you cannot install them directly into an arbitrary existing workspace like devops-team. What "deploying to a workspace" actually means in practice is one of:

  1. Connect the existing auto-created AzureCostManagementApp workspace to real EA data (most common)
  2. Use a Deployment Pipeline to promote content into another workspace after install

EA connector authentication: The Azure Cost Management connector for EA enrollments requires Enterprise Administrator (read-only) role at the billing account level. Standard Azure RBAC roles (Cost Management Reader, Billing Reader) do NOT work and will produce auth errors.

App source: Always install from Microsoft Corporation (not community copies). In the AppSource gallery, the Microsoft-published app appears further down — scroll past user-shared copies that show internal user names as publisher.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Existing Installations

Before installing a new copy, check the Apps list:

  1. Navigate to https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps
  2. Look for existing Azure Cost Management App entries
  3. If one already exists (especially one showing "sample data"), the user likely just needs to connect it to EA data — not install a new copy. Ask to confirm intent before proceeding.

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.
