# Microsoft Code Reference ## Tools | Need | Tool | Example | |------|------|---------| | API method/class lookup | `microsoft_docs_search` | `"BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs"` | | Working code sample | `microsoft_code_sample_search` | `query: "upload blob managed identity", language: "python"` | | Full API reference | `microsoft_docs_fetch` | Fetch URL from `microsoft_docs_search` (for overloads, full signatures) | ## Finding Code Samples Use `microsoft_code_sample_search` to get official, working examples: ``` microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "upload file to blob storage", language: "csharp") microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "authenticate with managed identity", language: "python") microsoft_code_sample_search(query: "send message service bus", language: "javascript") ``` **When to use:** - Before writing code—find a working pattern to follow - After errors—compare your code against a known-good sample - Unsure of initialization/setup—samples show complete context ## API Lookups ``` # Verify method exists (include namespace for precision) "BlobClient UploadAsync Azure.Storage.Blobs" "GraphServiceClient Users Microsoft.Graph" # Find class/interface "DefaultAzureCredential class Azure.Identity" # Find correct package "Azure Blob Storage NuGet package" "azure-storage-blob pip package" ``` Fetch full page when method has multiple overloads or you need complete parameter details. ## Error Troubleshooting Use `microsoft_code_sample_search` to find w...

microsoft-docs

Understand Microsoft technologies by querying official documentation. Use whenever the user asks how something works, wants tutorials, needs configuration options, limits, quotas, or best practices for any Microsoft technology (Azure, .NET, M365, Windows, Power Platform, etc.)—even if they don't mention "docs." If the question is about understanding a concept rather than writing code, this is the right skill.
