Azure Resource Graph Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Resource Graph. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, limits & quotas, configuration, and integrations & coding patterns. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
How to Use This Skill
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
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
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Description
Troubleshooting
L34-L40
Diagnosing and fixing Azure Resource Graph issues with alerts, query syntax/runtime errors, and Power BI connector connectivity, auth, and data refresh problems.
Best Practices
L41-L45
Guidance on designing Azure Resource Graph queries to avoid throttling, including efficient patterns, batching, pagination, and performance-friendly query structures.
Decision Making
L46-L51
Guidance on selecting efficient Azure Resource Graph query patterns and deciding when to use the GET/LIST APIs versus the Query service for different scenarios.
Limits & Quotas
L52-L59
Understanding ARG request limits, pagination behavior, handling large result sets, and implementing efficient paging (including with PowerShell) to avoid quota issues.
Configuration
L60-L67
Configuring Resource Graph usage: keyboard shortcuts, supported resource types, and defining/deploying shared queries via Bicep and ARM templates.
Integrations & Coding Patterns
L68-L79
Running Resource Graph queries via CLI, PowerShell, REST, Logic Apps, Power BI; creating shared queries and alerts; and retrieving resource change history for automation and reporting.
