Azure Attestation Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Attestation. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, security, configuration, and deployment. 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.

Use Cases

  • Troubleshoot Azure Attestation errors and configuration issues using the Microsoft Docs guides
  • Author and validate secure Azure Attestation policies with claim rules and TCB baselines
  • Implement Azure Attestation security controls including private endpoints, firewalls, and access policies
  • Configure Azure Attestation providers using PowerShell, CLI, and policy signer certificates
  • Monitor and debug Azure Attestation operations through logs and diagnostic data

Quality Notes

  • Clear category index with line ranges and descriptions enables structured navigation
  • Explicit tool recommendations (preferred vs. fallback) guide agent behavior
  • Important guidance flagged for version staleness check (3-month threshold) ensures freshness
  • Well-organized URL table provides direct links to source documentation
  • Scope is clearly bounded — excludes Confidential Computing, Virtual Enclaves, Key Vault, Dedicated HSM
  • Missing: no concrete examples of policy syntax, error codes, or validation workflows within the skill itself
  • Missing: no guidance on common failure modes or edge cases specific to token validation or policy authoring
  • Category index references line ranges (L35-L120) but the skill body does not include this content — relies entirely on external fetch
  • Incomplete: skill does not include inline reference content; agents must fetch all substantive guidance remotely
