ZavaShop on AKS and Azure Container Apps is a hands-on lab for delivering a multi-agent retail supply-chain application from requirements through deployment. It demonstrates a team of six GitHub Copilot custom coding agents working across specifications, application code, MCP servers, tests, infrastructure, and CI. The catalogue entries define the agents, skills, and instructions used in that workflow.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00650 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00260 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
aca-bicep 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 2mo 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.

Skill: ACA Bicep Module
infra/aca/agent.bicep parameters
param name string
param envId string // ACA environment resource id
param image string // full ACR path incl. :<git-sha>
param uamiId string // user-assigned managed identity id
param uamiClientId string
param copilotModel string = 'gpt-5.5'
param mcpEndpoints object = {} // map: ZAVA_<KEY>_MCP_URL -> value
param exposeIngress bool = false
param keyVaultName string
param targetPort int = 8000
param minReplicas int = 1
Container env (mandatory)
env: [
{ name: 'AZURE_CLIENT_ID', value: uamiClientId }
{ name: 'ZAVA_COPILOT_MODEL', value: copilotModel }
{ name: 'ZAVA_COPILOT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS', value: '120' }
{ name: 'GITHUB_TOKEN', secretRef: 'github-token' }
// Spread the mcpEndpoints map into ZAVA_*_MCP_URL entries
]
secrets: [
{
name: 'github-token'
keyVaultUrl: 'https://${keyVaultName}${environment().suffixes.keyvaultDns}/secrets/GITHUB-TOKEN'
identity: uamiId
}
]
Identity
identity: {
type: 'UserAssigned'
userAssignedIdentities: { '${uamiId}': {} }
}
Scale rule (always)
scale: {
minReplicas: minReplicas
maxReplicas: 10
rules: [
{
name: 'http-concurrency'
http: { metadata: { concurrentRequests: '30' } }
}
]
}
Probes
Agents use runtime port 8000; MCP servers use 8080. Probe targetPort so one module works for both.
probes: [
{ type: 'Liveness', httpGet: { path: '/healthz', port: targetPort }, periodSeconds: 10 }
{ type: 'Readiness', httpGet: { path: '/readyz', port: targetPort }, periodSeconds: 5 }
]
Tags (mandatory)
tags: {
project: 'zavashop'
lab: '05'
agent: name
}
Rules
- Image tag is the git SHA.
:latestis a build error. - No
value:for secrets — onlysecretRef. - Lab 05 sets
exposeIngress: trueandminReplicas: 1for specialists and MCPs so AKS smoke/eval calls can reach ACA FQDNs reliably. Production should revisit private ingress and scale-to-zero once DNS/networking and cold-start budgets are designed.
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.

aca-bicep is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/AKS-Lab-GitHubCopilot (10 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 650 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
