description	Use when reviewing an existing Azure Function App against Azure Functions best practices and proposing safe, approval-gated remediations for runtime, configuration, identity, security, observability, performance, scale, cost, triggers, and bindings.

Azure Functions Best Practices Review

Use this skill to review an existing Azure Function App, prioritize best-practice findings, and help apply approved remediations.

Write final answers in the user's language.

When to use

• Review my Function App for best practices
• Improve or harden an existing Azure Functions app
• Check whether a Function App follows recommended settings
• Suggest safe fixes for Function App configuration, runtime, scale, security, or observability
• Prepare a best-practices report before production readiness review

Do not use for

• Creating a new Function App: use azure-functions-create
• Static inventory only: use azure-functions-inventory
• Current health/status only: use azure-functions-health-status
• Active incident root-cause analysis: use azure-functions-diagnostics
• Deployment-only tasks: use azure-functions-deploy
• Generic Azure compliance scans: use Azure-wide compliance tooling when available

Core principles

1. Evidence first — do not recommend changes until app inventory is collected.
2. MCP guidance first — before scoring findings, call the Azure best-practices MCP guidance for Azure Functions (get_azure_bestpractices / get_azure_bestpractices_get with resource: azurefunctions and action: all) when the tool is available.
