Routes Azure VM and Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) requests to the right workflow. User wants to recommend, compare, or price a VM or VMSS User wants to create, provision, or deploy a VM or VMSS User asks about Capacity Reservation Groups (CRG) — reserve, guarantee capacity, pre-provision User asks about Essential Machine Management (EMM) — machine enrollment, monitor Disambiguate with azure-prepare: if the user wants to deploy an application (Docker service, web app, API, serverless workload), route to azure-prepare. vm-creator is for bare VM/VMSS infrastructure only. Mandatory workflow-first routing: never route directly to references/ files.
