Queries Azure Cost Management APIs to show you what you're spending, where it's going, and how to cut waste. Use it when you need to break down costs by service or resource group, forecast next month's bill, or hunt for orphaned disks and oversized VMs. It covers three main workflows: querying historical costs, forecasting future spend, and optimization recommendations. Includes service-specific guidance for Redis and Storage. This won't deploy anything or fix security issues, it just tells you where your money is going and flags obvious waste. Requires Cost Management Reader plus a couple other Reader roles on whatever scope you're checking.
