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

microsoft-foundry scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (finetuning/scripts/calibrate_grader.py, finetuning/scripts/check_training.py, finetuning/scripts/cleanup.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Applies to **any** call against a Foundry project or its parent Foundry account — Foundry MCP tools, `azd`, `az` CLI, `curl`, REST, or SDK.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Microsoft Foundry Skill

This skill helps developers work with Microsoft Foundry resources, covering model discovery and deployment, complete dev lifecycle of AI agent, evaluation workflows, and troubleshooting.

Pre-Execution Requirements

Follow each applicable subsection below before starting its corresponding action or workflow.

Dependency Check and Setup

MANDATORY: As the first step after this skill loads, run the dependency check and setup script below from this skill's root and wait for it to finish before continuing. The script checks first and installs only missing dependencies; it does not reinstall dependencies that are already available.

You MUST complete this check before reading or entering any sub-skill, workflow, or workflow-specific reference.

./scripts/check-and-setup-dependencies.sh     # macOS / Linux
./scripts/check-and-setup-dependencies.ps1    # Windows (pwsh)

Strictly follow the script output for subsequent actions.

Workflow Guidance

MANDATORY: Before executing ANY workflow-specific steps, you MUST read the corresponding sub-skill document. Do not call workflow-specific MCP tools for a workflow without reading its skill document. This applies even if you already know the MCP tool parameters — the skill document contains required workflow steps, pre-checks, and validation logic that must be followed. This rule applies on every new user message that triggers a different workflow, even if the skill is already loaded.

Foundry MCP

MANDATORY: Before using Foundry MCP operations, call the Azure MCP foundry tool and inspect the available Foundry MCP tools and related parameters. Treat this as the discovery/help step for MCP-based workflows.

azd

MANDATORY: Before executing ANY azd command, you MUST read azd-guidance and strictly follow the shared rules defined in it, especially the AZURE_DEV_USER_AGENT setting rules.

Sub-Skills

This skill includes specialized sub-skills for specific workflows. When a sub-skill matches the task, strictly follow its workflow:

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.
