MCP Tools

| Tool | Command | Use |

|------|---------|-----|

| mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs | Namespace/hub ops | List namespaces, hubs, consumer groups |

| mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus | Queue/topic ops | List namespaces, queues, topics, subscriptions |

| mcp_azure_mcp_monitor | logs_query | Query diagnostic logs with KQL |

| mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth | get | Check service health status |

| mcp_azure_mcp_documentation | Doc search | Search Microsoft Learn for troubleshooting docs |

Diagnosis Workflow

Identify the SDK and version — Check the prompt for SDK and version clues; if not stated, proceed with diagnosis and ask later if needed
Check resource health — Use mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth to verify the namespace is healthy
Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide
Look up documentation — Use mcp_azure_mcp_documentation to search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic
Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group
Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found

Troubleshooting Guides

Connectivity, SDK, and auth troubleshooting guides are located in the azure-diagnostics skill under troubleshooting/messaging/.
