DefaultAzureCredential
SKILL.md covers Installation, Environment Variables, DefaultAzureCredential and Specific Credential Types, plus 6 more sections
Calls az and pip; reaches management.azure.com and ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net; needs AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

What it does

Azure Identity Py is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Azure Identity SDK for Python authentication. Use for DefaultAzureCredential, managed identity, service principals, and token caching.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Caching and Authentication. It works with Microsoft Azure and Python. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

DefaultAzureCredential
Managed identity
Service principals

Example prompts

“/azure-identity-py”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Use DefaultAzureCredential for code that runs locally and in Azure
Never hardcode credentials — use environment variables or managed identity
Prefer managed identity in production Azure deployments
Use ChainedTokenCredential when you need a custom credential order
Close async credentials explicitly or use context managers
Set AZURE_CLIENT_ID for user-assigned managed identities
Exclude unused credentials to speed up authentication

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- az
- pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- management.azure.com
- ossrdbms-aad.database.windows.net
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Azure Identity Py loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 287 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 287 words (~1,434 tokens).

“Authentication library for Azure SDK clients using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD).”
