Status Checks

1. Azure CLI Status

Check Azure CLI installation and authentication:

# Version

# Current account
az account show --query "{Name:name, ID:id, TenantId:tenantId}" -o json 2>&1

Report:

• CLI version
• Logged in user/service principal

If MCP tools are not available:

• Inform user the Azure MCP server is not enabled
