azure-resource-lookup
Fast discovery and inventory of Azure resources across subscriptions using Resource Graph queries.
- Queries any Azure resource type (VMs, storage accounts, web apps, container apps, Key Vaults, etc.) across subscriptions and resource groups using KQL
- Identifies orphaned resources, missing tags, and resources in specific states without needing dedicated MCP tools
- Routes single-resource-type queries to specialized MCP tools (compute, storage, cosmos, acr, aks) when available; falls back to Resource Graph for unsupported types
- Requires Azure Resource Graph extension and Reader role; handles scope filtering, result limiting, and output formatting via JMESPath
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
listcommand. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" must route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph.
