Azure Resource Lookup

This is your go-to tool when you need to find Azure resources across subscriptions but don't want to click through the portal or remember KQL syntax. It handles the common "what VMs do I have" or "show me all my storage accounts" questions by generating Azure Resource Graph queries behind the scenes. The routing logic is smart, it checks if dedicated MCP tools can handle single-resource queries first, then falls back to cross-cutting ARG queries for complex searches. Really shines for finding orphaned resources like unattached disks or auditing missing tags across your entire Azure estate.

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 list command. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" must route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph.
