| Intent | Workflow | Primary tools | |--------|----------|---------------| | Check budget status | Budget health | listbudgets, forecastcosts, querycosts, listalerts | | Configure a budget | Budget setup | Cost tools, createbudget | | Review guardrails | Guardrails | Resource Graph, listbudgets | Use for budgets, alerts, tags, and policy. Use cost tools for budgets; Resource Graph for guardrails. Writes need confirmed scope, amount, thresholds, and recipients. Fallback: API mappings. 1. Confirm scope and load the matching workflow. 2. Never transform MCP results in a shell or interpreter; request tool-side filtering or bounded follow-up queries. 3. Distinguish access failures from empty results. 4. Report gaps without implying budgets cap spend. | Error | Action | |-------|--------| | Access denied | Name missing permission. | | No budget or forecast | Report unavailable data, not zero. | | Multiple currencies | Never sum or compare across currencies. | | Write conflict | Preserve the budget. | | Server error | Retry once; then stop with the trace ID. |
