Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

POST /providers/Microsoft.ResourceGraph/resources Query resources with Resource Graph · Microsoft Azure Post Providers Microsoft Resourcegraph Resources #

Ask an LLM

“How do I run a Kusto-style query across all my Azure resources?”

Tell an agent

Run the Resource Graph query {query} across my subscriptions.

Query {query} against subscriptions {subscriptions} in Resource Graph.

GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resources List all resources in a subscription · Microsoft Azure List All Resources in a Subscription #

Ask an LLM

“What resources exist across my whole Azure subscription?”

“Can I filter the subscription's resource list by type or tag?”

Tell an agent

List every resource in subscription {subscriptionId}.

List subscription resources matching {filter}, top {top}.

GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/resources List resources in a resource group · Microsoft Azure List Resources in a Resource Group #

Ask an LLM

“Which resources are inside a particular resource group?”

“Can I narrow a resource group's contents with a filter?”

Tell an agent

List the resources in resource group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId}.

Show resources in group {resourceGroupName} matching {filter}.

GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.DataProtection/backupVaults/{vaultName}/operationResults/{operationId} Check a backup vault operation result · Microsoft Azure Get Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“Did the long-running operation on my Data Protection backup vault finish?”

“Where can I poll the result of an async backup vault operation?”

Tell an agent

Get the result of operation {operationId} on backup vault {vaultName}.

Check whether backup vault {vaultName} operation {operationId} has completed.

POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{sourceResourceGroupName}/moveResources Move resources to another resource group · Microsoft Azure Moves Resources From One Resource Group To Another Resource… #

Ask an LLM

“How do I move resources from one resource group to another?”

“Can the target resource group be in a different subscription when moving resources?”

Tell an agent

Move resources {resources} from group {sourceResourceGroupName} to {targetResourceGroup}.

Relocate everything listed in {resources} out of {sourceResourceGroupName} in subscription {subscriptionId}.

POST /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{sourceResourceGroupName}/validateMoveResources Check whether resources can be moved · Microsoft Azure Validates Whether Resources Can Be Moved From One Resource… #

Ask an LLM

“Before I move resources, can I check that the move will succeed?”

“Is there a dry run for moving resources between resource groups?”

Tell an agent

Validate moving {resources} from {sourceResourceGroupName} to {targetResourceGroup} without moving them.

Dry-run a resource move out of group {sourceResourceGroupName} in subscription {subscriptionId}.

HEAD /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/{resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath}/{resourceType}/{resourceName} Check a resource exists by type and name · Microsoft Azure Head Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“Is there a quick way to tell whether a named resource exists in a resource group?”

“Can I check a resource exists by its provider and type without downloading it?”

Tell an agent

Check whether {resourceType} {resourceName} exists under {resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath} in group {resourceGroupName}.

Tell me if a {resourceType} named {resourceName} is in resource group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId}.

DELETE /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/{resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath}/{resourceType}/{resourceName} Delete a resource by provider, type and name · Microsoft Azure Delete Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“How do I delete a resource when I know its type and name but not its ID?”

“Can I remove any generic Azure resource from a resource group?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Delete {resourceType} {resourceName} of provider {resourceProviderNamespace} under {parentResourcePath} in group {resourceGroupName}.

Remove the {resourceType} called {resourceName} from resource group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId}.

PUT /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/{resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath}/{resourceType}/{resourceName} Create a resource by provider, type and name · Microsoft Azure Put Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“Can I create any kind of Azure resource generically by naming its provider and type?”

“How do I deploy a resource into a resource group without its resource ID?”

Tell an agent

Create {resourceType} {resourceName} in {location} under provider {resourceProviderNamespace}, parent {parentResourcePath}, group {resourceGroupName}.

Create or replace the {resourceType} named {resourceName} in group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId} with properties {properties}.

PATCH /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/{resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath}/{resourceType}/{resourceName} Update a resource by provider, type and name · Microsoft Azure Patch Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“Can I patch tags or SKU on a resource identified by its type and name?”

“What's the way to partially update a generic resource inside a resource group?”

Tell an agent

Update tags on {resourceType} {resourceName} (provider {resourceProviderNamespace}, parent {parentResourcePath}, group {resourceGroupName}) to {tags}.

Patch the sku of {resourceType} {resourceName} in group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId} to {sku}.

GET /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourcegroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/{resourceProviderNamespace}/{parentResourcePath}/{resourceType}/{resourceName} Get a resource by provider, type and name · Microsoft Azure Get Subscriptions Subscriptionid Resourcegroups… #

Ask an LLM

“How do I fetch any Azure resource when I know its provider namespace, type and name?”

“Can I read a generic resource without using its full resource ID?”

Tell an agent

Get {resourceType} {resourceName} from provider {resourceProviderNamespace} under {parentResourcePath} in group {resourceGroupName}.

Show the {resourceType} named {resourceName} in resource group {resourceGroupName} of subscription {subscriptionId}.

HEAD /{resourceId} Check a resource exists by its full ID · Microsoft Azure Head Resourceid #

Ask an LLM

“Does a resource with this exact resource ID exist?”

“Why might an existence check by ID fail for some resource providers?”

Tell an agent

Check whether resource ID {resourceId} exists.

Confirm that {resourceId} is a real resource by ID without fetching it.

DELETE /{resourceId} Delete a resource by its full ID · Microsoft Azure Delete Resourceid #
