# Azure Cost & Capacity
This skill covers the cost, capacity, and inventory side of the `azure-mcp` connector: the `pricing`, `quota`, `subscription`, and `group` namespaces. All four are **read-only** — they answer "what would this cost", "do we have headroom", and "what exists", never "provision this".
Tool names follow the Azure MCP Server's namespace convention (`azmcp` / `azure_mcp` prefixes, grouped under `pricing`, `quota`, `subscription`, `group`). Invoke them by capability.
## Anti-triggers
- **What the customer was actually billed** — `pricing` returns public
retail rates, never invoiced consumption. CSP invoices and margin sit
in `pax8` or `sherweb`.
- **Where the money is being wasted** — cost *optimisation* findings
come from Azure Advisor; use `azure-mcp-observability`.
- **M365 seat counts and licence costs** — use `cipp-licenses`.
## Namespace surface
### `subscription` — subscription inventory
Lists the Azure subscriptions the connected service principal can see, with their IDs, display names, and state (`Enabled`, `Disabled`, `Warned`). This is almost always the **first call** in any workflow — nearly every other namespace needs a subscription ID for scope.
### `group` — resource-group inventory
Lists and inspects resource groups within a subscription: name, location, tags, and provisioning state. Use it to map the shape of an environment, find resources by tag, or pick the right scope for a pricing or quota question.
