azure-confidential-computing

azure-confidential-computing is a skill for Claude Code from MicrosoftDocs/Agent-Skills. It costs 126 tokens per session (2,575 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC-BY-4.0.

Technical guidance for building applications that keep data protected while it is being processed in Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform. It covers confidential computing options such as protected virtual machines, containers, and hardware-based security environments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Azure confidential-computing architecture, SGX or SEV-SNP applications, confidential containers on AKS, secure key-release flows, virtual trusted platform modules, confidential virtual machines, and Fortanix integrations.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose and configure Azure designs where sensitive data should remain protected during processing, not only when stored or transferred. The input does not provide enough detail to describe its exact implementation steps.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

azure-confidential-computing 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 today.

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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing 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.
