What is azure-storage?

Guidance for Azure Storage, a cloud service for storing files, objects, messages, key-value data, and analytics data.

Use it with Blob Storage for objects and files, File Shares for shared folders, Queue Storage for messages, Table Storage for key-value data, or Data Lake for large-scale analytics.

It helps developers choose and work with the appropriate Azure storage option for each kind of data.

azure-storage — Skill for Claude Code by Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills --skill azure-storage

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Tyler-R-Kendrick/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install agent-skills, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 57 skills.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.00794
Opus 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00318
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00012	$0.00159
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00079

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-storage 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.

Azure Storage Services

Services

Service	Use When	MCP Tools	CLI
Blob Storage	Objects, files, backups, static content	`azure__storage`	`az storage blob`
File Shares	SMB file shares, lift-and-shift	-	`az storage file`
Queue Storage	Async messaging, task queues	-	`az storage queue`
Table Storage	NoSQL key-value (consider Cosmos DB)	-	`az storage table`
Data Lake	Big data analytics, hierarchical namespace	-	`az storage fs`

MCP Server (Preferred)

When Azure MCP is enabled:

azure__storage with command storage_account_list - List storage accounts
azure__storage with command storage_container_list - List containers in account
azure__storage with command storage_blob_list - List blobs in container
azure__storage with command storage_blob_get - Download blob content
azure__storage with command storage_blob_put - Upload blob content

If Azure MCP is not enabled: Run /azure:setup or enable via /mcp.

CLI Fallback

# List storage accounts
az storage account list --output table

# List containers
az storage container list --account-name ACCOUNT --output table

# List blobs
az storage blob list --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --output table

# Download blob
az storage blob download --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

# Upload blob
az storage blob upload --account-name ACCOUNT --container-name CONTAINER --name BLOB --file LOCAL_PATH

Storage Account Tiers

Tier	Use Case	Performance
Standard	General purpose, backup	Milliseconds
Premium	Databases, high IOPS	Sub-millisecond

Blob Access Tiers

Tier	Access Frequency	Cost
Hot	Frequent	Higher storage, lower access
Cool	Infrequent (30+ days)	Lower storage, higher access
Cold	Rare (90+ days)	Lower still
Archive	Rarely (180+ days)	Lowest storage, rehydration required

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.
