Helps users find the right Azure RBAC role for an identity with least privilege access, then generate CLI commands and Bicep code to assign it. Also provides guidance on permissions required to grant roles. WHEN: bicep for role assignment, what role should I assign, least privilege role, RBAC role for, role to read blobs, role for managed identity, custom role definition, assign role to identity, what role do I need to grant access, permissions to assign roles.

Use the 'azure__documentation' tool to find the minimal role definition that matches the desired permissions the user wants to assign to an identity. If no built-in role matches the desired permissions, use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to create a custom role definition with the desired permissions. Then use the 'azure__extension_cli_generate' tool to generate the CLI commands needed to assign that role to the identity. Finally, use the 'azure__bicepschema' and 'azure__get_azure_bestpractices' tools to provide a Bicep code snippet for adding the role assignment. If user is asking about role necessary to set access, refer to Prerequisites for Granting Roles down below:
To assign RBAC roles to identities, you need a role that includes the Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write permission. The most common roles with this permission are:
Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/writetools
KQL language expertise for writing correct, efficient Kusto Query Language queries. Covers syntax gotchas, join patterns, dynamic types, datetime pitfalls, regex patterns, serialization, memory management, result-size discipline, and advanced functions (geo, vector, graph). USE THIS SKILL whenever writing, debugging, or reviewing KQL queries — even simple ones — because the gotchas section prevents the most common errors that waste tool calls and cause expensive retry cascades. Trigger on: KQL, Kusto, ADX, Azure Data Explorer, Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, EventHouse, Log Analytics, log analysis, data exploration, time series, anomaly detection, summarize, where clause, join, extend, project, let statement, parse operator, extract function, any mention of pipe-forward query syntax.

testing
Pre-deployment validation for Azure readiness. Run deep checks on configuration, infrastructure (Bicep or Terraform), RBAC role assignments, managed identity permissions, and prerequisites before deploying. WHEN: validate my app, check deployment readiness, run preflight checks, verify configuration, check if ready to deploy, validate azure.yaml, validate Bicep, test before deploying, troubleshoot deployment errors, validate Azure Functions, validate function app, validate serverless deployment, verify RBAC roles, check role assignments, review managed identity permissions, what-if analysis, validate Container Apps deployment.
testing
Check/manage Azure quotas and usage across providers. For deployment planning, capacity validation, region selection. WHEN: "check quotas", "service limits", "current usage", "request quota increase", "quota exceeded", "validate capacity", "regional availability", "provisioning limits", "vCPU limit", "how many vCPUs available in my subscription".
