azure-key-vault

azure-key-vault is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. It costs 170 tokens per session (1,836 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for using Azure Key Vault, a managed Azure service for storing application secrets, encryption keys, and certificates. It covers vault choices, access control, network isolation, logging, and key or certificate rotation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design secret storage, choose between standard Key Vault and Managed HSM, configure managed-identity access and RBAC, isolate vaults, and plan rotation.
Why use it?
It helps keep credentials and cryptographic material out of application code while controlling who and what can access them. It also helps limit the damage if one application or environment is compromised.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

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-key-vault 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 Key Vault

Azure Key Vault centrally and securely stores secrets, keys, and certificates, providing RBAC-based access control, network isolation, logging, and lifecycle automation - so applications never embed credentials and crypto material has a managed lifecycle.

When to use

Managing application secrets, encryption keys (including customer-managed keys / BYOK), and TLS certificates. Use this skill to pick standard vs Managed HSM, design access, and plan rotation.

Do not use this skill for CA design (pki-design), Entra app credentials only (entra-id), or PaaS networking topology (azure-network-security-design).

Pick the vault type and access model

Requirement Choice Notes
Application secrets, TLS certs, software-protected keys Standard Key Vault Default; FIPS 140-2 Level 2
Single-tenant HSM with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 keys (CMK, root CA) Managed HSM Regulated workloads
Per-app, per-environment isolation One vault per app per environment Limits blast radius
App reading secrets at runtime Managed identity + RBAC (Key Vault Secrets User) No secrets in code
App Service / Functions secret in config Key Vault references in app settings No code change
Customer-managed key for Storage / SQL Key in Key Vault (or HSM) + identity grant Rotate independently

Rule of thumb: one vault per app per environment (dev / test / prod). Don't share a vault across apps - a compromise of one app's identity reads all the others' secrets. Use Managed HSM only when the regulator or CMK boundary requires FIPS 140-3 Level 3.

Approach

  1. Use Azure RBAC for the data plane — Switch the vault to RBAC permission model (not legacy access policies). Assign least-privilege roles (Key Vault Secrets User, Key Vault Crypto User) to managed identities, not user accounts. Verify: vault enableRbacAuthorization = true; no users with Key Vault Administrator in prod.
