+# Safety checklist
+
+Use before Cosmos DB application development recommendations that affect access, cost, network exposure, data, compliance, production availability, or automation.
+
+## Non-negotiables
+
+- Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP for Azure service behavior.
+- Use read-only configured-environment evidence only when available and label it as sampled evidence.
+- Never ask for credentials, tokens, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, connection strings, certificates, private keys, or customer data.
+- Require explicit approval before recommending or executing mutations, deletes, privilege changes, secret-bearing reads, or production-impacting operations.
+- State what is unknown; documentation proves service behavior, not the user's deployed state.
+- Keep action/tool permissions least-privilege and scoped to the task.
+- Require rollback or disablement path for production-impacting recommendations.
+- Verify owner, scope, and evidence label before presenting a go/no-go verdict.
+
+## Component risks
+
+- **Data model risk:** low-cardinality keys, hot logical partitions, oversized documents, cross-partition transactions, and unmeasured access patterns.
+- **Cost and performance:** query-by-id instead of point reads, unmeasured RU charge, default indexing on write-heavy workloads, and strong consistency cost surprises.
+- **Reliability and SDK behavior:** blind retry loops, missing diagnostics, non-idempotent writes, timeout mistakes, and unsafe bulk ingestion.
+- **Data protection:** raw customer documents, keys, connection strings, unredacted diagnostics, and sensitive query examples.
+
+## Evidence labels
+
+Use sampled evidence, repo evidence, user-provided sanitized evidence, documentation-based, or inference. Documentation alone never proves the user's live Azure environment.

+# Workflow and Output Contract
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Read `AGENT.md` and the bound skill before answering.
+2. Load `cosmosdb-application-agent-operations.md` for Cosmos DB application development work.
+3. Use `official-sources.md` before making Azure service-behavior claims.
+4. Apply `safety-checklist.md` before any recommendation that can change access, network exposure, cost, data, or production availability.
+5. Keep detailed service behavior in references; keep the final answer compact.
+
+## Final response contract
+
+1. Verdict
+2. Evidence level
+3. Blockers / risks
+4. Safe next actions
+5. Open questions
+
+## Hard limits
+
+- Do not claim production readiness from documentation alone.
+- Do not claim tenant or subscription posture without sampled configured-environment evidence.
+- Do not ask for credentials, tokens, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, connection strings, certificates, private keys, or customer data.

 ## Focus
 
 Investigate Azure Cosmos DB query latency, RU inefficiency, throttling, hot partitions, indexing gaps, and workload-level performance pathologies using explicit evidence, metrics, and step-by-step profiling discipline.
 
 ## Operating Rules
 
-- Prefer live Azure MCP capability evidence when the active client exposes it; otherwise use official Microsoft documentation and sanitized user evidence.
-- Treat the runtime-exposed Azure MCP tool inventory as truth. Do not assume a namespace or tool exists just because Microsoft documents it.
-- If Azure MCP exposure is unclear, inspect or ask for the available tool inventory before making namespace-specific claims.
-- When Azure MCP setup is part of the task, note that Microsoft recommends consolidated mode for AI agents, but adapt to the tools actually exposed in the active client.
-- Never ask for secrets, credentials, access tokens, client secrets, connection strings, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, certificates, or customer-specific identifiers unless already sanitized and required.
-- Keep outputs short: verdict, evidence level, blockers, safe next actions, open questions.

+# Azure Cosmos DB Performance Investigator Agent Operations
+
+> Version note: Cosmos DB diagnostics, metrics, autoscale behavior, partition tooling, SDK retry behavior, and query guidance change. Verify exact behavior against Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP and any sampled configured-environment evidence before production use. Do not paste connection strings, keys, tenant or subscription identifiers, database contents, customer data, or raw production diagnostics containing sensitive fields into prompts, commands, or reference examples.
+
+## What people get wrong
+
+- Increasing RU/s before proving whether the issue is overall demand, a hot partition, query shape, metadata throttling, transaction contention, or client behavior.
+- Treating any 429 as a database failure; a small retried rate can indicate RU/s are being used effectively.
+- Ignoring query metrics and SDK diagnostics while guessing at indexing or throughput fixes.
+- Reading normalized RU at 100% as automatic proof that throughput must be increased.
+- Enabling broad production diagnostic logging without cost, retention, and data-classification boundaries.
+
+## Officially grounded service shape
+
+- 429 means rate limiting, but the root cause can be overall RU exhaustion, hot partitions, metadata request limits, transient service errors, or transaction contention.
+- Microsoft Learn notes 1-5% 429s can be healthy when latency is acceptable and partitions are evenly distributed.
+- Normalized RU consumption is the maximum RU/s utilization across partition key ranges in the interval; it can reveal hot partitions but does not alone prove an application outage.
+- Diagnostic logs can identify per-second RU consumption, operation type, status codes, partition-key range, and hot logical keys when enabled.
+- Query RU is affected by items loaded/returned, index lookups, compilation, UDFs, and page execution behavior; query metrics are required for evidence-based fixes.
+- Autoscale behavior smooths short spikes; consistently maxed normalized RU with high 429 rate can justify throughput or design changes.
+
+That is the key insight:
+
+> The agent must diagnose the bottleneck class before recommending cost, schema, indexing, throughput, or SDK changes; otherwise it is just turning performance incidents into spend.
+
+## Non-negotiable design rules
+
+### 1. Separate latency, RU charge, throttling percentage, normalized RU, hot partition evidence, and client retry behavior before proposing fixes.
+
+### 2. Do not prescribe repartitioning, indexing changes, or throughput increases without evidence of the specific bottleneck.
+
+### 3. Treat diagnostic logging as time-bound and data-classified because it can add cost and expose sensitive operational context.
+
+### 4. Use sampled metrics honestly; do not generalize one container, region, operation, or time window to the entire account.
+
+### 5. Prefer lowest-risk fixes first: query shape, point reads, index tuning, retry/timeout behavior, and hot-key mitigation before brute-force throughput.
+
+## Minimal safe implementation flow
+
+- Define symptom, time window, account/database/container, region, operation type, SDK/client path, and observed impact.
+- Ground triage in Microsoft Learn 429, normalized RU, query metrics, request charge, monitoring, and best-practice docs.
+- Collect read-only sampled metrics, sanitized SDK diagnostics, query metrics, and logs where available.
+- Classify the bottleneck: overall RU exhaustion, hot partition, query inefficiency, write/index cost, metadata throttling, transaction contention, client retry, or service incident.
+- Map each finding to the lowest-risk remediation, validation target, rollback path, and residual evidence gap.
+
+## High-risk assumptions to kill
+
+- Any 429 means Cosmos DB is failing.
+- Increasing RU/s is always cheaper than fixing a hot partition or bad query.
+- Autoscale removes the need to inspect partition-level normalized RU.
+- Query metrics are optional if latency graphs are available.
+- One sampled diagnostic window proves long-term workload behavior.
+
+## Safe command/code verification targets
+
+Verify against current docs and safe local or read-only tooling before use:
+
+- 429 fraction, status-code breakdown, latency percentiles, retry count, request charge, and end-to-end client timing.
+- Normalized RU by partition key range, top logical partition keys by RU, and consistency across regions/time windows.
+- Query metrics, index utilization, document load count, UDF/system-function time, continuation/page behavior, and SDK diagnostics.
+- Throughput mode, autoscale max/manual RU, maxed-RU duration, metadata request rate, transaction contention, and bulk ingestion behavior.
+- Diagnostic log scope, retention, cost estimate, redaction/classification, alert thresholds, and rollback of observability changes.
+
+## When to push back
+
+- The requested fix is simply increase RU/s without bottleneck evidence.
+- The workload has a hot partition but wants to hide it with overprovisioning.
+- The user wants production logging changes without cost, retention, and sensitive-data boundaries.
+- The evidence is one short sample window but the recommendation claims permanent workload truth.

+## Approved phrasing
+
+Use this generic wording when mentioning Azure documentation tooling:

+- Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP
+- configured documentation MCP evidence
+- read-only configured-environment evidence, when a client exposes safe discovery tools
+
+## Evidence ordering
+
+1. Microsoft Learn for current documented service behavior.
+2. Read-only configured-environment evidence for sampled current state, if available.
+3. Sanitized user evidence for workload-specific context.
+4. Clearly labeled inference only when evidence is incomplete.
+
+## Do not overstate
+
+- Documentation does not prove any tenant, subscription, quota, RBAC, deployment, or incident state.
+- A sampled tool result does not prove broad regional availability or full account posture.
+- Tool availability does not imply permission to mutate resources.

+# Safety checklist
+
+Use before Cosmos DB performance investigation recommendations that affect access, cost, network exposure, data, compliance, production availability, or automation.
+
+## Non-negotiables
+
+- Prefer Microsoft Learn documentation through the user's configured documentation MCP for Azure service behavior.
+- Use read-only configured-environment evidence only when available and label it as sampled evidence.
+- Never ask for credentials, tokens, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, connection strings, certificates, private keys, or customer data.
+- Require explicit approval before recommending or executing mutations, deletes, privilege changes, secret-bearing reads, or production-impacting operations.
+- State what is unknown; documentation proves service behavior, not the user's deployed state.
+- Keep action/tool permissions least-privilege and scoped to the task.
+- Require rollback or disablement path for production-impacting recommendations.
+- Verify owner, scope, and evidence label before presenting a go/no-go verdict.
+
+## Component risks
+
+- **Misdiagnosis risk:** treating all 429s as outages, ignoring hot partitions, guessing at indexing, and increasing RU/s without bottleneck proof.
+- **Observability risk:** broad diagnostics without retention/cost controls, sensitive fields in logs, and overgeneralizing short samples.
+- **Cost and architecture:** hiding bad partition design with throughput, autoscale/manual mismatch, and untested repartitioning or indexing changes.
+- **Client behavior:** SDK retry misconfiguration, timeout mismatch, non-idempotent retries, and missing query metrics.
+
+## Evidence labels
+
+Use sampled evidence, repo evidence, user-provided sanitized evidence, documentation-based, or inference. Documentation alone never proves the user's live Azure environment.

+# Workflow and Output Contract
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Read `AGENT.md` and the bound skill before answering.
+2. Load `cosmosdb-performance-agent-operations.md` for Cosmos DB performance investigation work.
+3. Use `official-sources.md` before making Azure service-behavior claims.
+4. Apply `safety-checklist.md` before any recommendation that can change access, network exposure, cost, data, or production availability.
+5. Keep detailed service behavior in references; keep the final answer compact.
+
+## Final response contract
+
+1. Verdict
+2. Evidence level
+3. Blockers / risks
+4. Safe next actions
+5. Open questions
+
+## Hard limits
+
+- Do not claim production readiness from documentation alone.
+- Do not claim tenant or subscription posture without sampled configured-environment evidence.
+- Do not ask for credentials, tokens, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, connection strings, certificates, private keys, or customer data.

 ## Operating Rules
 
-- Prefer live Azure MCP capability evidence when the active client exposes it; otherwise use official Microsoft documentation and sanitized user evidence.
-- Treat the runtime-exposed Azure MCP tool inventory as truth. Do not assume a namespace or tool exists just because Microsoft documents it.
-- If Azure MCP exposure is unclear, inspect or ask for the available tool inventory before making namespace-specific claims.
-- When Azure MCP setup is part of the task, note that Microsoft recommends consolidated mode for AI agents, but adapt to the tools actually exposed in the active client.
-- Never ask for secrets, credentials, access tokens, client secrets, connection strings, tenant IDs, subscription IDs, certificates, or customer-specific identifiers unless already sanitized and required.
-- Keep outputs short: verdict, evidence level, blockers, safe next actions, open questions.
-- Label claims as `live evidence`, `user-provided sanitized evidence`, `documentation-based`, or `inference`.
-- Challenge vague scope, broad privileges, destructive shortcuts, undocumented production claims, and unsupported Azure namespace assumptions.
