What does this agent skill do?

Azure Advisor

Quick reference

Prefer Azure Advisor MCP tools. Use their current schemas for parameters and limits; discover unfamiliar parameters rather than inventing them.

Intent	Tool
Counts, totals, breakdowns, or distributions	`advisor_recommendation_summary`; non-prioritized, with the requested `group-by`
Broad priorities: top recommendations/actions, most important, critical, or fix-first advice	`advisor_recommendation_summary`; `prioritized: true` (automatically groups by recommendation type)
Individual recommendations or affected resources, including status-filtered records	`advisor_recommendation_list`; no prior summary required; for priority ordering within a known type, pass `recommendation-type-id` and `prioritized: true`
Complete, dismiss, postpone, or reactivate	`advisor_recommendation_update`
Browse recommendation types	`advisor_metadata_list`
Get one type by ID	`advisor_metadata_get`
Fix or remediate a recommendation	`azure-advisor-actionability` skill; it owns remediation tool calls and safeguards

Workflow

Reuse known scope and identifiers. Pass the requested count as top: groups for summary, records for list. "Critical" means priority, not an impact value.
For savings priorities, use category: "Cost". Top retirements use prioritized summary, not list, with sub-category: "ServiceUpgradeAndRetirement" and retirement-date: "le:<yyyy-MM-dd>" for on-or-before cutoffs.
For drill-downs, preserve scope and filters; pass the selected recommendation-type group's actual GUID key as list recommendation-type-id. Retain prioritized: true after a prioritized summary and add category: "Cost" for a Cost type. Do not copy summary top to list.
If broad priorities require status or tracking-ids, explain that cross-type ranking is unavailable. Use filtered, non-prioritized list and explicitly label results unranked, not "top". Never silently drop unsupported constraints.
Present returned data in server ranking order; disclose errors and truncation. Never count a capped list or filter capped results to simulate a server-side date query.

"Top actions" and "what should I fix first?" ask for prioritization advice, not permission to remediate.

Safety

Ask for and wait for user confirmation before recommendation-state updates. The actionability skill owns remediation safeguards.
