Azure Skills Plugin is an agent plugin that packages Azure-specific guidance with MCP server configurations for carrying out Azure work. Coding agents use it to plan, deploy, troubleshoot, monitor, govern, and optimize Azure applications and services. The catalogue entries are the plugin's skills, instructions, and execution integrations.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00178 | $0.00727 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00089 | $0.00364 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
azure-messaging 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to azure-messaging — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure Messaging SDK Troubleshooting
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Services | Azure Event Hubs, Azure Service Bus |
| MCP Tools | mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs, mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus |
| Best For | Diagnosing SDK connection, auth, and message processing issues |
When to Use This Skill
- SDK connection failures, auth errors, or AMQP link errors
- Idle timeout, connection inactivity, or slow reconnection after disconnect
- AMQP link detach or detach-forced errors
- Message lock lost, message lock expired, lock renewal failures, or batch lock timeouts
- Session lock lost, session lock expired, or session receiver errors
- Event processor or message handler stops processing
- Duplicate events or checkpoint offset resets
- SDK configuration questions (retry, prefetch, batch size, receive batch behavior)
MCP Tools
| Tool | Command | Use |
|---|---|---|
mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs |
Namespace/hub ops | List namespaces, hubs, consumer groups |
mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus |
Queue/topic ops | List namespaces, queues, topics, subscriptions |
mcp_azure_mcp_monitor |
logs_query |
Query diagnostic logs with KQL |
mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth |
get |
Check service health status |
mcp_azure_mcp_documentation |
Doc search | Search Microsoft Learn for troubleshooting docs |
Diagnosis Workflow
- Identify the SDK and version — Check the prompt for SDK and version clues; if not stated, proceed with diagnosis and ask later if needed
- Check resource health — Use
mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealthto verify the namespace is healthy - Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide
- Look up documentation — Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentationto search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic - Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group
- Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found
Troubleshooting Guides
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.

azure-messaging is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills (1,459 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 178 tokens to every session and 727 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to azure-messaging, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
