## Description

List, find, and show Azure resources across subscriptions or resource groups. Handles prompts like \"list the websites in my subscription\", \"list my web apps\", \"show my app services\", \"list virtual machines\", \"list my VMs\", \"show storage accounts\", \"find container apps\", and \"what resources do I have\". USE FOR: list websites, list web apps, list app services, show websites in subscription, resource inventory, find resources by tag, tag analysis, orphaned resource discovery (not for cost analysis), unattached disks, count resources by type, cross-subscription lookup, and Azure Resource Graph queries. DO NOT USE FOR: deploying/changing resources (use azure-deploy), cost optimization (use cost-optimization from the optional azure-cost plugin), or non-Azure clouds.

# Azure Resource Lookup

List, find, and discover Azure resources of any type across subscriptions and resource groups. Use Azure Resource Graph (ARG) for fast, cross-cutting queries when dedicated MCP tools don't cover the resource type.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:
- **List resources** of any type (VMs, web apps, storage accounts, container apps, databases, etc.)
- **Show resources** in a specific subscription or resource group
- Query resources **across multiple subscriptions** or resource types
- Find **orphaned resources** (unattached disks, unused NICs, idle IPs)
- Discover resources **missing required tags** or configurations
- Get a **resource inventory** spanning multiple types
- Find resources in a **specific state** (unhealthy, failed provisioning, stopped)
- Answer "**what resources do I have?**" or "**show me my Azure resources**"
- **List web apps, websites, or App Services**

> ⚠️ **Warning:** App Service / Web Apps have no dedicated MCP `list` command. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" **must** route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph.

> 💡 **Tip:** For single-resource-type queries, first check if a dedicated MCP tool can handle it (see routing table below). If none exists, use Azure Resource Graph.

## Quick Reference

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| **Query Language** | KQL (Kusto Query Language subset) |
| **CLI Command** | `az graph query -q "<KQL>" -o table` |
| **Extension** | `az extension add --name resource-graph` |
| **MCP Tool** | `extension_cli_generate` with intent for `az graph query` |
| **Best For** | Cross-subscription queries, orphaned resources, tag audits |
