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 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 Microsoft Azure Diagnostics skill enables AI agents to analyze and interpret diagnostic data from Azure resources, such as logs, metrics, and performance indicators. It helps identify issues, troubleshoot problems, and provide actionable insights based on real-time or historical data.

When to use it

  • To investigate unexpected failures in Azure virtual machines or applications.
  • For monitoring resource usage patterns over time to optimize costs.
  • When diagnosing network connectivity issues across Azure services.
  • To generate reports from diagnostic logs for compliance or auditing purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Analyze Azure diagnostics logs and metrics
  • Identify anomalies in system performance
  • Correlate log data with events or user actions
  • Provide troubleshooting recommendations based on diagnostic findings

Example prompts

  • "Analyze the latest diagnostic logs from my Azure VM to find the cause of the crash."
  • "Show me a trend analysis of CPU usage for my Azure App Service over the last week."
  • "What are the most common errors in my Azure Function's diagnostics logs?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that diagnostic logging is enabled on your Azure resources before using this skill.
  • Large volumes of log data may require additional processing time or filtering to extract relevant insights.
