Microsoft Foundry Skill
This skill helps developers work with Microsoft Foundry resources, covering model discovery and deployment, complete dev lifecycle of AI agent, evaluation workflows, and troubleshooting.
Pre-Execution Requirements
MANDATORY: Before executing ANY workflow, you MUST first call the Azure MCP
foundrytool and inspect the available Foundry MCP tools and related parameters. Treat this initialfoundrycall as a discovery/help step. For this skill, Azure MCPfoundryis the required entry point for Foundry-related MCP operations.
Sub-Skills
MANDATORY: Before executing ANY workflow-specific steps, you MUST read the corresponding sub-skill document. Do not call workflow-specific MCP tools for a workflow without reading its skill document. This applies even if you already know the MCP tool parameters — the skill document contains required workflow steps, pre-checks, and validation logic that must be followed. This rule applies on every new user message that triggers a different workflow, even if the skill is already loaded.
This skill includes specialized sub-skills for specific workflows. Use these instead of the main skill when they match your task:
