Azure Tenant Assessment

Azure Tenant Assessment

This skill provides the entry-point workflow for any new Azure engagement — surveying the tenant, cataloging resources, snapshotting security posture, and recommending the right plugins from this marketplace.

Integration Context Contract

Canonical contract: docs/integration-context.md

* Use sovereign cloud values (AzureUSGovernment, AzureChinaCloud) when applicable.

Fail fast before API calls when required context is missing. Redact tenant/subscription/object IDs in all outputs.

MCP Tool Detection

Before attempting live assessment, detect whether microsoft-azure-mcp MCP tools are available:

1. Attempt to call azure_list_subscriptions with no parameters.
2. If the call succeeds → live mode: proceed with full MCP-based assessment.
3. If the call fails with "unknown tool" or similar → guided mode: switch to the fallback guided checklist.

Never assume MCP availability. Always detect and adapt.

Assessment Methodology

Execute in this order for live mode:

1. Subscriptions — Call azure_list_subscriptions. Collect: subscriptionId, displayName, state, tenantId.
2. Resource Groups — For each subscription, call azure_list_resource_groups. Collect: name, location, provisioningState, resource count (from resources step).
3. Resources — For each subscription, call azure_list_resources. For --depth full: also call per-RG for completeness. Collect: name, type, location, resourceGroup.
4. Taxonomy — Normalize resource types (title case), group by type, count occurrences, extract ARM namespace prefixes.
5. Tenant Profile — Classify as compute-heavy / data-heavy / networking-heavy / security-focused / mixed per references/plugin-capability-matrix.md.
6. Plugin Mapping — Map discovered ARM prefixes to plugins using the capability matrix; add baseline always-recommend plugins.
7. Report — Write markdown report and print to screen.

For --depth quick: skip per-RG resource calls; use subscription-level resource list only.

Assessment Report Format

Save report as azure-assessment-YYYY-MM-DD.md where YYYY-MM-DD is today's date.

## Subscription Inventory

| Subscription | ID (redacted) | State | Resource Groups |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | xxxx...yyyy | Enabled | N |

## Security Posture Summary

| Check | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Key Vault present | Yes / No / Unknown | |
| Monitoring/Insights resources | Yes / No / Unknown | |
| Policy resources | Yes / No / Unknown | |
| Entra ID coverage | Assumed / Confirmed | |

## Recommended Plugins

| Priority | Plugin | Why | Install |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | azure-storage | 12 storage accounts found | `/plugin install azure-storage@claude-m-microsoft-marketplace` |
| Tier 2 | azure-cost-governance | Baseline — every tenant | `/plugin install azure-cost-governance@claude-m-microsoft-marketplace` |

---

## Next Steps

1. Run `/azure-tenant-plugin-setup` to install recommended plugins
2. Run `azure-cost-governance` cost query for spend baseline
3. Run `azure-policy-security` policy compliance check
4. Review security posture gaps noted above

Plugin Capability Matrix Reference

Full resource type → plugin mapping: references/plugin-capability-matrix.md

Always include the four baseline plugins regardless of what resources are found:

• microsoft-azure-mcp (unless already installed)
• azure-cost-governance
• azure-policy-security
• entra-id-security

Fallback Guided Checklist

When MCP tools are not available, ask the user the following structured questions:

1. Subscription count: How many Azure subscriptions does this tenant have?
2. Resource types: Which of the following resource categories are present? (Compute/VMs, Containers, Web Apps, Storage, Databases, Networking, Key Vaults, Monitoring, Fabric/Analytics, DevOps)
3. Estimated resources: Roughly how many total resources are deployed? (<100 / 100–500 / 500–2000 / 2000+)
4. Primary regions: Which Azure regions are primarily used?
5. Cloud environment: AzureCloud (global) / AzureUSGovernment / AzureChinaCloud

Build the report from these answers using the same format as live mode. Mark the report **Mode**: Guided and note that counts are estimates.
