kimtth Microsoft Code Reference
Tools
| Need | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| API method/class lookup | microsoft_docs_search |
"BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs" |
| Working code sample | microsoft_code_sample_search |
query: "upload blob managed identity", language: "python" |
| Full API reference | microsoft_docs_fetch |
Fetch URL from microsoft_docs_search result |
When to Verify
Always verify when:
- Method name seems "too convenient" (
UploadFilevs actualUpload) - Mixing SDK versions (v11
CloudBlobClientvs v12BlobServiceClient) - Package name doesn't follow conventions (
Azure.*for .NET,azure-*for Python) - Using an API for the first time
Validation Workflow
- Confirm method exists —
microsoft_docs_search(query: "[ClassName] [MethodName] [Namespace]") - Fetch full details (for overloads) —
microsoft_docs_fetch(url: "...") - Find working sample —
microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "[task]", language: "[lang]")
