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.

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 | $0.00077 | $0.02810 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01405 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00562 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00281 |
Grade A, and why
azure-quotas 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to azure-quotas — 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

Azure Quotas - Service Limits & Capacity Management
AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE — Follow these instructions exactly for quota management and capacity validation.
Overview
What are Azure Quotas?
Azure quotas (also called service limits) are the maximum number of resources you can deploy in a subscription. Quotas:
- Prevent accidental over-provisioning
- Ensure fair resource distribution across Azure
- Represent available capacity in each region
- Can be increased (adjustable quotas) or are fixed (non-adjustable)
Key Concept: Quotas = Resource Availability
If you don't have quota, you cannot deploy resources. Always check quotas when planning deployments or selecting regions.
When to Use This Skill
Invoke this skill when:
- Planning a new deployment - Validate capacity before deployment
- Selecting an Azure region - Compare quota availability across regions
- Troubleshooting quota exceeded errors - Check current usage vs limits
- Requesting quota increases - Submit increase requests via CLI or Portal
- Comparing regional capacity - Find regions with available quota
- Validating provisioning limits - Ensure deployment won't exceed quotas
Quick Reference
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Primary Tool | Azure CLI (az quota) - USE THIS FIRST, ALWAYS |
| Extension Required | az extension add --name quota (MUST install first) |
| Key Commands | az quota list, az quota show, az quota usage list, az quota usage show |
| Complete CLI Reference | commands.md |
| Azure Portal | My quotas - Use only as fallback |
| REST API | Microsoft.Quota provider - Unreliable, do NOT use first |
| MCP Server | azure-quota MCP server — NEVER use this. It is unreliable. Always use az quota CLI instead. |
| Required Permission | Reader (view) or Quota Request Operator (manage) |
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-quotas is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills (1,473 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,810 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to azure-quotas, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
