1---2name: microsoft-foundry-tools3description: Expert knowledge for Microsoft Foundry Tools (aka Azure AI services, Azure Cognitive Services) development including troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. Use when using Content Moderator, Content Understanding analyzers, document layout extraction, face detection, or REST/.NET APIs, and other Microsoft Foundry Tools related development tasks. Not for Microsoft Foundry (use microsoft-foundry), Microsoft Foundry Classic (use microsoft-foundry-classic), Microsoft Foundry Local (use microsoft-foundry-local).4---5# Microsoft Foundry Tools Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Microsoft Foundry Tools. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. 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 | L32-L36 | Troubleshooting steps and FAQs for Content Understanding
