Azure Cost Optimization

Quick Reference

Reduce waste or rightsizeOptimizationCost and Resource Graph tools
Review commitmentsCommitmentslist_benefit_utilization, list_reservation_transactions, get_benefit_recommendations

When to Use This Skill

Use for waste, rightsizing, and commitments.

MCP Tools

Use cost and Resource Graph tools for optimization and benefit tools for commitments. Validate queries. Fallback: API mappings.

Workflow

  1. Confirm scope, period, currency, and commitment intent.
  2. Load only the matching workflow above.
  3. Never transform MCP results in a shell or interpreter; request validated server-side projection, aggregation, or bounded follow-up queries.
  4. Separate measured cost, reported savings, and qualitative opportunities.
  5. Recommend changes only; do not delete, resize, purchase, or deploy resources.

Error Handling

ErrorAction
Access deniedName the scope and permission.
Multiple currenciesGroup and report each currency separately.
Missing evidenceState the gap; do not invent values.
Server errorRetry once; then report the trace ID.
