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 | $0.00057 | $0.02688 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01344 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00538 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00269 |
Grade A, and why
defender-secure-score-monitor 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 13d 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.

Defender Secure Score Monitor
Purpose
Track and improve your Microsoft Defender for Cloud Secure Score through focused monitoring, trend analysis, and actionable remediation guidance. Answers "what's our security score and how do we improve it?"
When to use this skill
- User asks "what's our secure score?"
- User asks how to improve security posture
- Weekly security posture check
- Before a security audit or customer questionnaire
- After deploying new resources (to check score impact)
Difference from Compliance/Governance Audit
The Compliance skill does a broad governance audit (policy, RBAC, tagging, locks, naming). This skill is laser-focused on Defender for Cloud Secure Score — the single most important security KPI — and provides targeted actions to improve it.
Assessment procedure
Step 1: Current Secure Score
Get the overall score and per-control breakdown.
az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<sub-id>/providers/Microsoft.Security/secureScores/ascScore?api-version=2020-01-01"
az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<sub-id>/providers/Microsoft.Security/secureScores/ascScore/secureScoreControls?api-version=2020-01-01"
Note: The az security secure-scores list CLI command may fail in some environments. The REST API approach above is more reliable. Replace <sub-id> with the target subscription ID.
Report:
- Current Secure Score: X% (X/Y points)
- Trend (if memory available): improved/declined vs. last check
- Top 5 controls with the most room for improvement (highest
max - current)
Step 2: Unhealthy assessments (recommendations)
Get the list of active security recommendations.
az rest --method get --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<sub-id>/providers/Microsoft.Security/assessments?api-version=2021-06-01" --query "value[?properties.status.code=='Unhealthy'].{displayName:properties.displayName, severity:properties.metadata.severity, category:properties.metadata.categories[0], resourceId:properties.resourceDetails.id}"
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.

defender-secure-score-monitor is a skill published in the GitHub repository ricmmartins/azure-sre-agent-skills (70 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,688 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
