Covers troubleshooting, decision making, 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 file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L33-L37 | Diagnosing and resolving common Azure Personalizer issues, including configuration, learning behavior, low-quality recommendations, API errors, and integration or data/feature problems. |24| Decision Making | L38-L42 | Guidance on when to use single-slot vs multi-slot Personalizer, comparing scenarios, behavior, and design tradeoffs for different personalization needs. |25| Security | L43-L48 | Configuring encryption at rest (including customer-managed keys) and controlling data collection, storage, and privacy settings for Azure Personalizer. |26| Configuration | L49-L56 | Configuring Personalizer’s learning behavior: policies, hyperparameters, exploration, apprentice mode, explainability, model export, and learning loop settings. |27| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L57-L60 | Using the Personalizer local inference SDK for low-latency, offline/edge scenarios, including setup, integration patterns, and best practices for calling the model locally. |2829### Troubleshooting30| Topic | URL |31|-------|-----|32| Troubleshoot common Azure Personalizer issues | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/frequently-asked-questions |3334### Decision Making35| Topic | URL |36|-------|-----|37| Choose between single-slot and multi-slot Personalizer | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/concept-multi-slot-personalization |3839### Security40| Topic | URL |41|-------|-----|42| Configure data-at-rest encryption and CMK for Personalizer | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/encrypt-data-at-rest |43| Manage data usage and privacy in Personalizer | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/responsible-data-and-privacy |4445### Configuration46| Topic | URL |47|-------|-----|48| Enable and use inference explainability in Personalizer | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/how-to-inference-explainability |49| Configure apprentice mode learning behavior in Personalizer | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/how-to-learning-behavior |50| Export and manage Personalizer model and learning settings | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/how-to-manage-model |51| Configure Azure Personalizer learning loop settings | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/how-to-settings |5253### Integrations & Coding Patterns54| Topic | URL |55|-------|-----|56| Use Personalizer local inference SDK for low latency | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/personalizer/how-to-thick-client |
