azure-storage
The azure-storage skill provides management and interaction capabilities for Azure Storage services, including Blob, File, Queue, Table, and Data Lake storage. It supports listing storage accounts, managing containers and blobs, and provides guidance on storage tiers, redundancy options, and SDK usage.
Is azure-storage safe to install?
Review the source first: our audit of azure-storage's source files found 5 shell commands, 0 external URLs, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands via the Azure CLI and performs file read/write operations for blob uploads and downloads.
