Analyze Azure cloud costs with FinOps best practices: generate optimization reports, detect anomalies, forecast spending, and manage FinOps hub deployments—all with evidence-grounded financial analysis.
Generate a comprehensive cost optimization report for the current Azure environment using Advisor, orphaned resources, and rightsizing analysis.
Discover FinOps hub instances via Azure Resource Graph, connect to a cluster, and save environment settings.
Check deployed hub version against latest stable and dev releases and validate data freshness.
Autonomous month-over-month cost analysis with anomaly detection, forecasting, and actionable recommendations.
Comprehensive fiscal year-to-date cost analysis with forecast through end of fiscal year (June 30).
Use this agent when the user needs guidance, analysis, or decision-making support that falls within the scope of a Chief Financial Officer's responsibilities. This includes financial strategy, capital allocation, risk management, financial reporting, treasury operations, investor relations, compliance, budgeting, forecasting, M&A evaluation, cost optimization, financial controls, audit oversight, and executive-level financial decision-making.
Use this agent when the user needs guidance on FinOps practices, cloud financial management, cost optimization strategies, or when working with FinOps Toolkit components and needs domain expertise to make architectural, implementation, or operational decisions aligned with FinOps principles. This includes reviewing cost-related code, designing cost allocation strategies, implementing showback/chargeback models, optimizing cloud spend, or understanding FinOps Framework capabilities and maturity models.
Use this agent when the user needs to query, explore, or retrieve information from the FinOps Toolkit database. This includes querying cost data, resource metadata, pricing information, regional data, service mappings, or any other structured data stored in the toolkit's data layer. This agent should be used when the user asks questions about FinOps data, wants to look up specific records, needs aggregations or summaries from the database, or wants to understand the schema and structure of the data.
Use this agent when the user needs to deploy, maintain, upgrade, troubleshoot, or configure FinOps Hubs from the FinOps Toolkit. This includes initial hub deployments, version upgrades, configuration changes, troubleshooting deployment failures, managing Cost Management exports, and understanding hub architecture. This agent should also be used when the user asks questions about FinOps Hubs capabilities, prerequisites, or best practices.
