3description: Expert knowledge for Azure AI Anomaly Detector development including troubleshooting, best practices, limits & quotas, configuration, and deployment. Use when tuning Docker-based Anomaly Detector, ACI or IoT Edge deployments, univariate/multivariate APIs, or service limits, and other Azure AI Anomaly Detector related development tasks. Not for Azure AI Metrics Advisor (use azure-metrics-advisor), Azure Monitor (use azure-monitor), Azure Machine Learning (use azure-machine-learning).
4compatibility: Requires network access. Uses mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage to retrieve documentation.

14## How to Use This Skill
15
16> **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 file
17
18> **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)
