Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: app.azurewebsites.net, app.region.azurecontainerapps.io.

    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 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 or download-and-run installers.

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

About this skill

What it does

The Azure Diagnostics skill enables AI agents to analyze, interpret, and troubleshoot diagnostic data from Microsoft Azure environments. It supports querying logs, monitoring performance metrics, and identifying anomalies in cloud infrastructure.

When to use it

  • To investigate errors or failures in Azure virtual machines or applications
  • For real-time monitoring of resource usage and performance trends
  • When diagnosing issues related to network connectivity or storage performance

Key capabilities

  • Querying Azure Monitor logs for troubleshooting
  • Analyzing metrics from Azure resources like VMs, databases, and apps
  • Generating insights based on diagnostic data for proactive issue resolution

Example prompts

  • "Show me the last 24 hours of error logs from my Azure web app."
  • "Analyze CPU usage trends across all virtual machines in my subscription."
  • "Identify potential bottlenecks in my Azure storage account performance."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your AI agent has access to Azure Monitor and the necessary permissions for log retrieval.
  • Diagnostic data may be limited by retention policies or cost constraints, so review these before querying large datasets.
