Best For	Diagnosing SDK connection, auth, and message processing issues

When to Use This Skill

SDK connection failures, auth errors, or AMQP link errors
Idle timeout, connection inactivity, or slow reconnection after disconnect
AMQP link detach or detach-forced errors
Message lock lost, message lock expired, lock renewal failures, or batch lock timeouts

MCP Tools

Tool	Command	Use
`mcp_azure_mcp_eventhubs`	Namespace/hub ops	List namespaces, hubs, consumer groups
`mcp_azure_mcp_servicebus`	Queue/topic ops	List namespaces, queues, topics, subscriptions
`mcp_azure_mcp_monitor`	`logs_query`	Query diagnostic logs with KQL
`mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth`	`get`	Check service health status
`mcp_azure_mcp_documentation`	Doc search	Search Microsoft Learn for troubleshooting docs

Diagnosis Workflow

Identify the SDK and version — Check the prompt for SDK and version clues; if not stated, proceed with diagnosis and ask later if needed
Check resource health — Use mcp_azure_mcp_resourcehealth to verify the namespace is healthy
Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide
Look up documentation — Use mcp_azure_mcp_documentation to search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic
Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group
Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found

Connectivity Troubleshooting
