Can I find orphaned or unused resources with this?

Absolutely. It is specifically optimized to identify unattached disks, unused network interfaces, and other resources that may be contributing to unnecessary costs.

Does it require specific permissions?

Yes, you must have the appropriate Azure RBAC permissions (typically Reader role or higher) at the subscription or resource group scope you wish to query.

Can this skill be used to create or delete Azure resources?

No, this skill is strictly for discovery and listing purposes. For deploying or modifying resources, you should use dedicated deployment skills like azure-deploy.

What query language does this skill use?

It generates and executes Kusto Query Language (KQL) queries via the Azure CLI to perform advanced resource lookups.

Does it work across multiple Azure subscriptions?

Yes, it utilizes Azure Resource Graph to provide fast, cross-cutting queries that span multiple subscriptions and resource groups simultaneously.

Lists and discovers Azure resources across subscriptions and resource groups using Azure Resource Graph queries.

Azure Resource Lookup is a specialized capability designed to streamline the discovery and inventory of Azure cloud assets. By leveraging the power of Azure Resource Graph (ARG) and Kusto Query Language (KQL), it allows users to perform complex, cross-subscription searches for any resource type—from virtual machines and storage accounts to container apps and orphaned disks. This skill bridges the gap between dedicated management tools by providing a fast, read-only mechanism to audit resource tagging, identify idle infrastructure, and get a unified view of your cloud environment directly within the Claude Code interface.
