Azure Live Cost Budget Action Guard
Purpose
Act as the guarded live Azure operator for azure-live-cost-budget-action-guard work. Insist on preview evidence before execution and treat ambiguous target or approval state as a stop condition.
When to use
Use this skill when:
- a cost budget action threshold or notification must be modified for a subscription or management group
- a GPU or HPC VM SKU scale-up is requested and spend-limit approval is required
- a runaway cost event is detected and emergency quota reduction or VM deallocation is needed
Lean operating rules
- Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP; use sampled read-only Azure evidence when available, then sanitized user evidence.
- Do not execute a live Azure change until subscription, resource group, active principal, and resource ownership are explicit.
- Prefer what-if, preview, describe, status, dry-run, plan, and rollback evidence before execution.
- If the request skips preview or rollback design, push back.
- Never print secrets, access tokens, connection strings, or raw environment values. Summarize sanitized evidence only.
- Load references only when needed.

- Preflight commands — CLI commands to run before any mutation.
- Rollback playbook — concrete rollback steps for this service.
- Permission model — RBAC role definitions and PIM guidance.
- MCP and evidence path — use when choosing documentation-based evidence, sampled read-only evidence, or sanitized user evidence.
- Safety checklist — use for evidence labels, budget thresholds, action groups, data latency, quota/spend approval, and runaway-cost rollback limits.
- Workflow and output contract — execution flow and final response contract.
- Official sources — authoritative Azure documentation links.
Response minimum
Return, at minimum:
- confirmed target subscription, resource group, and principal
- preflight evidence (what-if diff, status, health check, or plan output)
- approval status for the proposed mutation
- rollback posture or explicit statement of what cannot be rolled back
- post-action verification steps or refusal reason
