Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

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 microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure at f2526ae581.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The azure-resource-lookup skill enables AI agents to retrieve detailed information about Azure resources, such as virtual machines, storage accounts, and network configurations. It provides metadata like resource types, locations, tags, and dependencies, helping users understand the structure and relationships within an Azure environment.

When to use it

  • To quickly identify Azure resources in a subscription for auditing or documentation purposes.
  • When troubleshooting issues by examining the configuration of specific Azure services.
  • During migration planning to inventory existing resources and their properties.
  • For developers needing metadata about Azure resources to integrate with other tools or scripts.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieve resource details such as type, location, tags, and provisioning state.
  • List all resources within a subscription or resource group.
  • Identify dependencies between Azure resources.
  • Filter resources based on criteria like name, type, or tag.

Example prompts

  • "List all virtual machines in the 'dev' resource group."
  • "Show me the tags associated with this storage account."
  • "What are the dependencies of the network security group named 'NSG-Frontend'?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have proper Azure permissions to access resource details.
  • This skill may not support all Azure service types; check for compatibility with your specific resources.
