aca-bicep

An Azure Container Apps Bicep module, where Bicep is Azure's language for declaring infrastructure, for deploying an agent container with identity, secrets, environment settings, and scaling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining an agent's container image, Azure identity, GitHub token secret, Copilot model, MCP endpoints, ingress, ports, and replica settings.
Why use it?
It makes the required deployment parameters and runtime configuration explicit and repeatable.

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

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 2d 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. :latest is a build error.
  • No value: for secrets — only secretRef.
  • Lab 05 sets exposeIngress: true and minReplicas: 1 for 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 (7 stars, last pushed 27d 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.
