| Intent | Workflow | Primary tools |
|---|---|---|
| Query historical spend | Cost query | query_costs |
| Explain a spike | Cost investigation | query_costs, Resource Graph |
| Analyze AKS spend | AKS cost analysis | query_aks_costs, Resource Graph |
| Analyze AI service spend | AI cost analysis | query_costs |
Use for spend, anomalies, and AKS or AI allocation.
Use cost tools and Resource Graph first. If an operation is unavailable, follow fallback and safety.
