List, find, and discover Azure resources of any type across subscriptions and resource groups. Use Azure Resource Graph (ARG) for fast, cross-cutting queries when dedicated MCP tools don't cover the resource type. Use this skill when the user wants to: List resources of any type (VMs, web apps, storage accounts, container apps, databases, etc.) Show resources in a specific subscription or resource group Query resources across multiple subscriptions or resource types Find orphaned resources (unattached disks, unused NICs, idle IPs) Discover resources missing required tags or configurations Get a resource inventory spanning multiple types Find resources in a specific state (unhealthy, failed provisioning, stopped) Answer "what resources do I have?" or "show me my Azure resources" List web apps, websites, or App Services ⚠️ Warning: App Service / Web Apps have no dedicated MCP list command. Prompts like "list websites", "list web apps", or "list app services" must route through this skill to use Azure Resource Graph. 💡 Tip: For single-resource-type queries, first check if a dedicated MCP tool can handle it (see routing table below). If none exists, use Azure Resource Graph. | Propert
