1---2name: azure-planetary-computer-pro3description: Expert knowledge for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro development including troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when using GeoCatalog/STAC APIs, QGIS/ArcGIS Pro integrations, Entra ID/RBAC access, tiles/mosaics, or ingestion, and other Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro related development tasks. Not for Azure Maps (use azure-maps), Azure Open Datasets (use azure-open-datasets), Azure Data Explorer (use azure-data-explorer).4---5# Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro. Covers troubleshooting, decision making, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:14- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch`. Returns Markdown.15- **Fallback**: Use `WebFetch`. Returns Markdown.1617## Category Index1819| Category | Lines | Description |20|----------|-------|-------------|21| Troubleshooting | L31-L36 | Diagnosing and resolving Planetary Computer Pro
