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 | $0.00118 | $0.05556 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.02778 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01111 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00556 |
Grade A, and why
azure-reliability 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 8d 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-reliability — 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 — 388 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Azure Reliability Assessment & Configuration
Quick Reference
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Best for | Reliability posture assessment, zone redundancy enablement, multi-region failover setup |
| Primary capabilities | Reliability assessment table, Zone Redundancy Configuration, Multi-Region IaC Generation |
| Supported services | Azure Functions, App Service (Container Apps planned for a future version) |
| MCP tools | Azure Resource Graph queries, Azure CLI commands |
When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when user wants to:
- "Assess my Function app's reliability"
- "Assess my Web app's reliability"
- "Check the reliability of my resource group" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Is my app zone redundant?" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Is my app service plan zone redundant?"
- "Make my app zone redundant" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Make my app service plan zone redundant"
- "Set up multi-region failover for my app" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Check my reliability posture"
- "Find single points of failure" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Enable high availability for my app" (App Service and Functions resources only)
- "Check disaster recovery readiness"
- "Improve my app's resilience" (App Service and Functions resources only)
Scope note: This skill currently covers Azure Functions and Azure App Service only. If the user asks about Azure Container Apps reliability, acknowledge that support is planned but not yet available, and only proceed with the parts that apply to App Service and Functions resources in scope.
Prerequisites
- Authentication: user is logged in to Azure via
az login - Permissions: Reader access on target subscription/resource group (for assessment)
- Permissions: Contributor access (for configuration changes)
- Azure Resource Graph extension:
az extension add --name resource-graph
MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
mcp_azure_mcp_extension_cli_generate |
Generate az CLI commands for resource queries and configuration |
mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list |
List available subscriptions |
mcp_azure_mcp_group_list |
List resource groups |

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-reliability is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/azure-skills (1,457 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 5,556 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to azure-reliability, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
