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 | $0.00093 | $0.01799 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00720 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00360 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
entra-app-registration 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to entra-app-registration — 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.

Overview
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service. App registrations allow applications to authenticate users and access Azure resources securely.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| App Registration | Configuration that allows an app to use Microsoft identity platform |
| Application (Client) ID | Unique identifier for your application |
| Tenant ID | Unique identifier for your Azure AD tenant/directory |
| Client Secret | Password for the application (confidential clients only) |
| Redirect URI | URL where authentication responses are sent |
| API Permissions | Access scopes your app requests |
| Service Principal | Identity created in your tenant when you register an app |
Application Types
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Web Application | Server-side apps, APIs |
| Single Page App (SPA) | JavaScript/React/Angular apps |
| Mobile/Native App | Desktop, mobile apps |
| Daemon/Service | Background services, APIs |
Core Workflow
Step 1: Register the Application
Create an app registration in the Azure portal or using Azure CLI.
Portal Method:
- Navigate to Azure Portal → Microsoft Entra ID → App registrations
- Click "New registration"
- Provide name, supported account types, and redirect URI
- Click "Register"
CLI Method: See references/cli-commands.md IaC Method: See references/BICEP-EXAMPLE.bicep
It's highly recommended to use the IaC to manage Entra app registration if you already use IaC in your project, need a scalable solution for managing lots of app registrations or need fine-grained audit history of the configuration changes.
Step 2: Configure Authentication
Set up authentication settings based on your application type.
- Web Apps: Add redirect URIs, enable ID tokens if needed
- SPAs: Add redirect URIs, enable implicit grant flow if necessary
- Mobile/Desktop: Use
http://localhostor custom URI scheme - Services: No redirect URI needed for client credentials flow

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.
