What it does
Azure Resource Lookup is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. List, find, and show Azure resources across subscriptions or resource groups. Handles prompts like "list the websites in my subscription", "list my web apps", "show my app services", "list virtual machines", "list my VMs", "show storage accounts", "find container apps", and "what resources do I have". USE FOR: list websites, list web apps, list app services, show websites in subscription, resource inventory, find resources by tag, tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery (not for cost analysis), unattached…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/azure-resource-graph.md` and `version.json`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Microsoft Azure and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : list websites
- List app services
- Show websites in subscription
- Resource inventory
Example prompts
- “list the websites in my subscription”
- “list my web apps”
- “show my app services”
- “/azure-resource-lookup”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce94fce. 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
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Azure Resource Lookup loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 198 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Azure Resource Lookup
List, find, and discover Azure resources of any type across subscriptions and resource groups. Use Azure Resource Graph (ARG) for fast, cross-cutting queries when dedicated MCP tools don't cover the resource type.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- List resources of any type (VMs, web apps, storage accounts, container apps, databases, etc.)
- Show resources in a specific subscription or resource group
- Query resources across multiple subscriptions or resource types
- Find orphaned resources (unattached disks, unused NICs, idle IPs)
- Discover resources missing required tags or configurations
- Get a resource inventory spanning multiple types
- Find resources in a specific state (unhealthy, failed provisioning, stopped)
- Answer "what resources do I have?" or "show me my Azure resources"
- List web apps, websites, or App Services
⚠️ Warning: App Service / Web Apps have no dedicated MCP
listcommand. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" must route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph.
💡 Tip: For single-resource-type queries, first check if a dedicated MCP tool can handle it (see routing table below). If none exists, use Azure Resource Graph.
Quick Reference
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Query Language | KQL (Kusto Query Language subset) |
| CLI Command | az graph query -q "<KQL>" -o table |
| Extension | az extension add --name resource-graph |
| MCP Tool | extension_cli_generate with intent for az graph query |
| Best For | Cross-subscription queries, orphaned resources, tag audits |
MCP Tools
| Tool | Purpose | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
extension_cli_generate | Generate az graph query commands | Primary tool — generate ARG queries from user intent |
mcp_azure_mcp_subscription_list | List available subscriptions | Discover subscription scope before querying |
mcp_azure_mcp_group_list | List resource groups | Narrow query scope |
Workflow
Show full SKILL.md (272 more words)Show less
Step 1: Check for a Dedicated MCP Tool
For single-resource-type queries, check if a dedicated MCP tool can handle it:
| Resource Type | MCP Tool | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Machines | compute | ✅ Full — list, details, sizes |
| Storage Accounts | storage | ✅ Full — accounts, blobs, tables |
| Cosmos DB | cosmos | ✅ Full — accounts, databases, queries |
| Key Vault | keyvault | ⚠️ Partial — secrets/keys only, no vault listing |
| SQL Databases | sql | ⚠️ Partial — requires resource group name |
| Container Registries | acr | ✅ Full — list registries |
| Kubernetes (AKS) | aks | ✅ Full — clusters, node pools |
| App Service / Web Apps | appservice | ❌ No list command — use ARG |
| Container Apps | — | ❌ No MCP tool — use ARG |
| Event Hubs | eventhubs | ✅ Full — namespaces, hubs |
| Service Bus | servicebus | ✅ Full — queues, topics |
If a dedicated tool is available with full coverage, use it. Otherwise proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Generate the ARG Query
Use extension_cli_generate to build the az graph query command:
mcp_azure_mcp_extension_cli_generate
intent: "query Azure Resource Graph to <user's request>"
cli-type: "az"See Azure Resource Graph Query Patterns for common KQL patterns.
Step 3: Execute and Format Results
Run the generated command. Use --query (JMESPath) to shape output:
az graph query -q "<KQL>" --query "data[].{name:name, type:type, rg:resourceGroup}" -o tableUse --first N to limit results. Use --subscriptions to scope.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
resource-graph extension not found | Extension not installed | az extension add --name resource-graph |
AuthorizationFailed | No read access to subscription | Check RBAC — need Reader role |
BadRequest on query | Invalid KQL syntax | Verify table/column names; use =~ for case-insensitive type matching |
| Empty results | No matching resources or wrong scope | Check --subscriptions flag; verify resource type spelling |
Constraints
- ✅ Always use
=~for case-insensitive type matching (types are lowercase) - ✅ Always scope queries with
--subscriptionsor--firstfor large tenants - ✅ Prefer dedicated MCP tools for single-resource-type queries
- ❌ Never use ARG for real-time monitoring (data has slight delay)
- ❌ Never attempt mutations through ARG (read-only)
