Virtual machine availability triage

Virtual machine availability triage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zmustafa/AzureSupportAgent. It costs 36 tokens per session (237 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for diagnosing whether a cloud virtual machine is reachable and healthy by checking its state, platform health, changes, performance, and network path.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating VM outages, failed connections, resource saturation, boot problems, DNS, routes, security rules, load balancers, and private endpoints.
Why use it?
It separates problems in the virtual machine, cloud platform, network controls, and application path before any restart or redeployment.

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

Virtual machine availability triage 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Virtual machine availability triage

  1. Resolve subscription, resource id, workload, region, and the time the symptom began.
  2. Check power/provisioning state and Resource Health before changing the guest.
  3. Correlate recent deployments, activity-log changes, platform incidents, CPU/memory/disk/network metrics, and boot diagnostics.
  4. Trace NIC, subnet, NSG, route, public/private endpoint, load-balancer, and DNS dependencies.
  5. When an onboarded sandbox exists, use in-VNet DNS/TCP/TLS/HTTP probes to distinguish control-plane configuration from actual data-plane reachability.
  6. Prefer the Performance Profiler for broad workload saturation evidence.
  7. State what was tested, what was inferred, and what remains inaccessible. Suggest reversible checks before restart/redeploy writes.
Changes

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.
