About azure-firmware-analysis
A documentation skill for agents working with Azure Firmware Analysis. It combines local references and remotely fetched Microsoft documentation on firmware findings, access control, integrations, and workspace deployment.
Key features
- 01Firmware finding interpretation
- 02Service principal and RBAC guidance
- 03CLI, PowerShell, and Python examples
- 04Azure Device Registry mapping
- 05ARM, Bicep, and Terraform deployment
Use cases
- 01Prioritizing firmware weakness findings
- 02Setting access for users and apps
- 03Uploading firmware for analysis
- 04Mapping scan results to device assets
MCP support
The skill can fetch documentation through the mcp_microsoftdocs microsoft_docs_fetch tool, with webpage fetching as a fallback.
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Details
From the project READMEAzure Firmware Analysis Skill
This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Firmware Analysis. Covers best practices, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.
How to Use This Skill
IMPORTANT for Agent: Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g.,
L35-L120), useread_filewith the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g.,[security.md](security.md)), useread_fileon the linked reference file
IMPORTANT for Agent: If
metadata.generated_atis more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. Ifmcp_microsoftdocstools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide
This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:
- Preferred: Use
mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetchwith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown. - Fallback: Use
fetch_webpagewith query stringfrom=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.
