Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned ahmadabdalla/azure-cost-calculator-skill at 5081ed401d.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to calculate Azure cloud costs based on specific resource configurations and usage metrics. It provides financial visibility for cloud infrastructure planning and budget management within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.

When to use it

  • Estimating monthly expenses before provisioning new virtual machines or storage accounts.
  • Analyzing cost breakdowns for existing workloads to identify optimization opportunities.
  • Comparing pricing across different Azure regions or service tiers.
  • Generating budget forecasts for project stakeholders based on projected resource consumption.

Key capabilities

  • Calculates total estimated costs for specified Azure resources.
  • Breaks down expenses by resource type and usage duration.
  • Supports various pricing models including pay-as-you-go and reserved instances.
  • Integrates directly with AI agent workflows to automate financial queries.

Example prompts

  • "Calculate the monthly cost for running 10 Standard_D2s_v3 virtual machines in the East US region."
  • "Estimate the storage costs for 500 GB of Premium SSD data stored over a 30-day period."
  • "What would it cost to run a specific Azure Kubernetes Service cluster with three nodes for one month?"

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide accurate resource specifications and region details, as pricing varies significantly by location. Remember that actual costs may differ from estimates due to data transfer fees, additional services, or usage spikes not accounted for in the initial calculation.
