Azure Cost
This is Microsoft's comprehensive Azure cost management toolkit that actually queries your real spending data instead of making you guess. It pulls historical costs, forecasts future spending, and runs optimization scans to find orphaned resources and oversized VMs. The skill combines Cost Management API calls with Azure Quick Review scans and resource utilization metrics to give you concrete savings recommendations with dollar amounts. It's built for when you need to answer "how much am I spending" or "where can I cut costs" with real data, not estimates. The optimization workflow is thorough but requires approval before any destructive changes.
