azure-storage-blob-rustAzure Blob Storage library for Rust. An agent skill from microsoft/skills.
Azure Storage Blob Rust is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Azure Blob Storage library for Rust. Upload, download, and manage blobs and containers. Triggers: "blob storage rust", "BlobClient rust", "upload blob rust", "download blob rust", "storage container rust", "BlobServiceClient rust".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage. It works with Azure Blob Storage, Rust and Microsoft Azure. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3898ec8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
cargoFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
crates.iodocs.rsgithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure Storage Blob Rust loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 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.
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.
The full file from microsoft/skills at commit 3898ec8, republished under its MIT licence (© microsoft). 597 words, ~2,702 tokens.

azure_coretypes directly (for example,azure_core::http::Urlorazure_core::http::RequestContent), addazure_coretoCargo.toml. If you only useazure_storage_blobre-exports, directazure_coredependency is optional.
AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=<account-name> # Preferred when the caller gives an account name
AZURE_STORAGE_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/ # Optional alternative when the caller gives a full endpointWhen both are available, prefer constructing the endpoint from AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT so the code matches common evaluation prompts.
Rust Azure SDK code must not use DefaultAzureCredential. The Rust identity crate does not provide that type.
// Correct for local development
use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;// Incorrect in Rust: this type does not exist in azure_identity
use azure_identity::DefaultAzureCredential;use azure_core::http::Url;

let blob_client = container_client.blob_client("<blob_name>");
Ok(())
}| Client | Purpose |
|---|---|
BlobServiceClient | Account-level operations, list containers |
BlobContainerClient | Container operations, list blobs |
BlobClient | Individual blob operations |

while let Some(blob) = pager.try_next().await? {
let name = blob.name.as_deref().unwrap_or("<unnamed>");
let size = blob
.properties
.as_ref()
.and_then(|properties| properties.content_length);
match size {
Some(size) => println!("Blob: {name} ({size} bytes)"),
None => println!("Blob: {name}"),
}
}For azure_storage_blob 1.x, do not assume you need a nested page loop like for item in &page.blob_items. In this usage pattern, try_next() already yields the blob item you want to print.
Use StorageError for programmatic access to storage-specific error codes:
use azure_core::error::ErrorKind;
use azure_storage_blob::StorageError;
use azure_storage_blob::models::StorageErrorCode;
let result = blob_client.download(None).await;
match result {
Ok(response) => {
let content: Vec<u8> = response.body.collect().await?.into();
println!("Downloaded {} bytes", content.len());
}
Err(error) => {
if matches!(error.kind(), ErrorKind::HttpResponse { .. }) {
// Convert to StorageError for programmatic access
let storage_error: StorageError = error.try_into()?;
println!("HTTP Status: {}", storage_error.status_code);
if let Some(error_code) = &storage_error.error_code {
match error_code {
StorageErrorCode::BlobNotFound => {
println!("The blob does not exist.");
}
StorageErrorCode::ContainerNotFound => {
println!("The container does not exist.");
}
StorageErrorCode::AuthorizationFailure => {
println!("Authorization failed. Check RBAC roles.");
}
_ => println!("Storage error: {error_code}"),
}
}
if let Some(request_id) = &storage_error.request_id {
println!("Request ID (for Azure support): {request_id}");
}
} else {
println!("Non-HTTP error: {:?}", error);
}
}
}Note:
StorageError::try_intorequires an owned error object — it will not compile if handed a reference to an error.
For Entra ID auth, assign one of these roles to the identity:
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
Storage Blob Data Reader | Read-only |
Storage Blob Data Contributor | Read/write |
Storage Blob Data Owner | Full access including RBAC |

Azure Blob Storage library for Rust. An agent skill from microsoft/skills. Azure Storage Blob Rust is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Azure Blob Storage library for Rust.
Azure Storage Blob Rust fits situations like: tasks that involve File uploads and storage.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-storage-blob-rust -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-rust/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-storage-blob-rust -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-rust/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-storage-blob-rust -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust, .gemini/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust, .github/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust and .opencode/skills/azure-storage-blob-rust in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure Storage Blob Rust needs the command-line tools its instructions call (cargo).
SKILL.md names 3 domains. As links in the text: crates.io, docs.rs and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Azure Storage Blob Rust is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
