AI agents for Azure

Microsoft cloud, wired into your operational reporting. AGNT connects to Azure so agents can read what happens there, reason about it, and act — with a receipt for every run.

Azure and AGNT, in brief

What it does	Lets an AGNT agent read from and act in Azure.
Connects with	Bearer — held in the local vault
AGNT node	custom-api, or the zapier-action bridge
Runs when	A scheduled audit runs
Typical build time	Ten minutes
Where data goes	Nowhere by default — AGNT runs on your machine and credentials never leave it.

What you can automate

Reacts when…

a scheduled audit runs
an alert fires

Agents can…

query resources and costs
summarise service health

Teams use it for

spend reviewed with narratives
environment audits filed automatically
alerts triaged with context

Build it: the Azure workflow

Design goal for Azure: spend reviewed with narratives; environment audits filed automatically; alerts triaged with context. The template below supplies configurable nodes, not the complete logic for those goals.

Use this Azure setup template to arrange the schedule, input review and API operation. Configure the account-specific fields and add your own decision and approval controls before activation.

Configuration example for Azure. API and model calls may send data to your selected providers.

Azure — read, decide, actSetup template · configure before activation

This is a schema-checked starting point, not an end-to-end tested automation. Replace every CONFIGURE_ value, choose the operations you intend, connect credentials and map source outputs into later inputs. An edge orders steps; it does not supply a condition, an approval gate or a field mapping. Add and test those controls explicitly before any write. Cloud APIs and model providers may receive data. Keep the workflow inactive until tested with fixtures.

Configure Custom API Request

This action node makes a custom API request to any endpoint with configurable method, headers, and authentication.

url — The URL of the API endpoint Current example: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups?api-version=2021-04-01.
method — The HTTP method for the request Current example: GET.
authType — The type of authentication Current example: None.
query — Query parameters for the request (e.g., 'key1=value1&key2=value2') Current example: .
headers — Optional headers for the request. e.g., {"Content-Type": "application/json"} Current example: {}.

Azure setup: record the tenant, subscription and resource group used by this operation. A management-plane call needs an access token for Azure Resource Manager and an identity with the appropriate role; a key for an unrelated Azure service is not interchangeable. Start with a read against a test subscription. Azure REST reference.

Run this against your own Azure

No account needed to run it. Every step writes a receipt you can read line by line afterwards.

Operational reporting for the Microsoft stack

Azure holds the same two questions as any cloud: what is it costing and is it healthy. Both answer well to a scheduled agent that queries resources, summarises the position and writes it into the same weekly report as everything else.

Alerts with context

An alert says something fired; it rarely says whether it matters. An agent can gather the surrounding state before the notification reaches a human, so triage starts from a picture rather than a line.

Azure without a first-party node

Azure has no dedicated node in AGNT so far. That is not a blocker — it authenticates with bearer, which the custom-api node handles directly, and the exact call is below.

What you need	Value
Endpoint	`https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups?api-version=2021-04-01`
Method	`GET`
Authentication	Bearer
Header	`Authorization: Bearer {aadToken}`
Reference	Azure API documentation

Worth knowing: Every endpoint requires an explicit `api-version` query parameter; omitting it returns 400 rather than a default.

The part that catches people out

Every endpoint requires an explicit `api-version` query parameter; omitting it returns 400 rather than a default.

Everything else about Azure behaves the way you would expect, so once that is handled the rest of the build is ordinary. The GET above is the shape every other call takes.
