  • Works in 5 steps: Use DeveloperToolsCredential for local… → Use ManagedIdentityCredential in… → Clone credentials — credentials are… → …
  • DeveloperToolsCredential
  • SKILL.md covers Installation, Environment Variables, DeveloperToolsCredential and Credential Types, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls cargo and az; needs AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

What it does

Azure Identity Rust is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Azure Identity SDK for Rust authentication. Use for DeveloperToolsCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential, ClientSecretCredential, and token-based authentication.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 DevOps & Cloud, covering Authentication. It works with Microsoft Azure and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • DeveloperToolsCredential
  • ManagedIdentityCredential
  • ClientSecretCredential
  • Token-based authentication

Example prompts

  • “/azure-identity-rust”

Requirements

  • A credential in AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use DeveloperToolsCredential for local dev — automatically picks up Azure CLI
  2. Use ManagedIdentityCredential in production — no secrets to manage
  3. Clone credentials — credentials are Arc-wrapped and cheap to clone
  4. Reuse credential instances — same credential can be used with multiple clients
  5. Use tokio feature — cargo add azure_identity --features tokio

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:

    • cargo
    • az

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.rs
    • github.com
    • crates.io

    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 Rust loads about 952 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~952

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 241 words (~952 tokens).

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