Azure Import Export Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Import Export. Covers troubleshooting, limits & quotas, and security. 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.

Category Index

Summary

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Import Export, covering troubleshooting, limits & quotas, and security configuration. It works by directing agents to fetch remote documentation from Microsoft Learn via network calls (using mcp_microsoftdocs or fetch_webpage), then synthesizes guidance for tasks like diagnosing job failures, checking service limits, and configuring customer-managed encryption keys.

Use Cases

  • Diagnosing and repairing failed Azure Import/Export jobs using v1 tool logs and repair procedures
  • Checking hardware/software prerequisites and service limits before initiating import/export operations
  • Configuring customer-managed encryption keys (CMK) via Azure Key Vault for data-at-rest security
  • Understanding Import/Export service constraints, drive size/count limits, and behavioral limitations
  • Troubleshooting copy failures and data transfer issues using Import/Export job logs

Quality Notes

  • Excellent structure: clear Category Index with line ranges and file references guides agents to relevant sections efficiently
  • Well-scoped to Azure Import Export only; explicitly excludes Azure Data Box, Blob Storage, and Files, preventing scope creep
  • Strong compatibility documentation: explains preferred and fallback network tools with proper query string parameters (from=learn-agent-skill)
  • Security-conscious: instructs agents to check tool availability and suggest installation if missing (mcp_microsoftdocs MCP server)
  • Documentation currency check built-in: agents proactively remind users to pull latest if >3 months old, mitigating stale content risk
  • All external URLs are to learn.microsoft.com (trusted Microsoft domain); no untrusted or suspicious external references
  • Limitation: minimal inline guidance — skill is primarily an index that defers to remote docs; agents need to understand how to interpret fetched content without additional context or examples
  • No error handling guidance: skill does not document how agents should handle network timeouts, invalid responses, or missing documentation pages
