The skill allows arbitrary KQL query execution and reconnaissance
Claims to do
Azure Data Explorer (Kusto) Query & Analytics: Execute KQL queries and manage Azure Data Explorer resources for fast, scalable big data analytics on log, telemetry, and time series data.
Actually does
This skill uses Microsoft Common Platform (MCP) tools (`kusto_cluster_list`, `kusto_database_list`, `kusto_query`, `kusto_table_schema_get`) to interact with Azure Data Explorer. It executes KQL queries against specified Kusto databases to retrieve and analyze log, telemetry, and time series data, and can also list clusters, databases, and retrieve table schemas. As a fallback, it can use Azure CLI commands (`az kusto`, `az rest`) to achieve similar functionality by contacting Kusto cluster REST API endpoints.
npx skills add https://github.com/microsoft/github-copilot-for-azureThe skill explicitly allows executing arbitrary KQL queries via the `kusto_query` tool and as a fallback using `az rest`. This capability can be abused to exfiltrate sensitive data from Azure Data Explorer, consume excessive resources, or perform unauthorized data access.
`kusto_query` tool, `az rest --method post --url "https://<cluster>.<region>.kusto.windows.net/v1/rest/query" --body "{ \"db\": \"<database>\", \"csl\": \"<kql-query>\" }"`The skill provides tools (`kusto_cluster_list`, `kusto_database_list`, `kusto_table_schema_get`) and Azure CLI fallbacks to list clusters, databases, and retrieve table schemas. While part of the skill's legitimate function, this offers significant reconnaissance capabilities that could be exploited by an attacker to map out the data environment.
