azure-application-gateway

What it does

Provides expert guidance for Azure Application Gateway, covering troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It is intended for tasks around configuring HTTP routing, TLS/WAF, autoscaling v2 gateways, AKS ingress/AGIC, or App Gateway for Containers, and related development work.

How it works

The skill instructs agents to use a Category Index to locate relevant sections, reading specific files or lines such as security.md or topics listed in the index. It requires network access to fetch documentation via mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch (preferred) or fetch_webpage (fallback). It checks metadata timestamp and advises refreshing from the repository if outdated. It prescribes using remote documentation content for guidance on topics like troubleshooting, best practices, design patterns, security, and deployment, and references a collection of topic URLs for deeper reading.

When to use it

Use when tasks involve Azure Application Gateway development, including troubleshooting, architecture/design decisions, capacity planning, security configuration (TLS, WAF, mTLS), and deployment/migration tasks related to Application Gateway and its variants (containers, AKS integration, AGIC).

What it can touch

It leverages external documentation via network access (mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch or fetch_webpage) to retrieve Markdown content for topics such as troubleshooting, security, configuration, and deployment.

Caveats

Requires network access to fetch documentation. The description emphasizes guidance and references to official Microsoft docs; no guarantees of outcomes are stated.
