Azure Logic Apps Skill

Manage and analyze Azure Logic Apps using az logic workflow and az rest commands.

Discovery-First Rule

ALWAYS discover before acting. Never assume workflow names, resource groups, or trigger names.

# Discover Logic Apps
az logic workflow list --output json \
  --query "[].{name:name, rg:resourceGroup, state:state, sku:sku.name, version:version, createdTime:createdTime, changedTime:changedTime}"

Parallel Execution Requirement

ALL independent operations MUST run in parallel using background jobs (&) and wait.

for wf in $(echo "$workflows" | jq -c '.[]'); do
  {
    name=$(echo "$wf" | jq -r '.name')
    rg=$(echo "$wf" | jq -r '.rg')
    az logic workflow show --name "$name" --resource-group "$rg" --output json
  } &
done
wait

Helper Functions

# Get workflow run history
get_run_history() {
  local name="$1" rg="$2" top="${3:-25}"
  az rest --method GET \
    --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/$name/runs?api-version=2016-06-01&\$top=$top" \
    --output json --query "value[].{name:name, status:properties.status, startTime:properties.startTime, endTime:properties.endTime, trigger:properties.trigger.name, error:properties.error}"
}

# Get trigger history
get_trigger_history() {
  local name="$1" rg="$2" trigger="$3" top="${4:-25}"
  az rest --method GET \
    --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/$name/triggers/$trigger/histories?api-version=2016-06-01&\$top=$top" \
    --output json
}

# Get workflow definition (actions and triggers)
get_workflow_definition() {
  local name="$1" rg="$2"
  az logic workflow show --name "$name" --resource-group "$rg" --output json \
    --query "{triggers:definition.triggers, actions:definition.actions | keys(@), parameters:definition.parameters | keys(@)}"
}

# Get API connections
list_connections() {
  local rg="$1"
  az rest --method GET \
    --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$rg/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections?api-version=2016-06-01" \
    --output json --query "value[].{name:name, api:properties.api.name, status:properties.statuses[0].status}"
}

Common Operations

1. Workflow Health Overview

workflows=$(az logic workflow list --output json --query "[].{name:name, rg:resourceGroup}")
for wf in $(echo "$workflows" | jq -c '.[]'); do
  {
    name=$(echo "$wf" | jq -r '.name')
    rg=$(echo "$wf" | jq -r '.rg')
    echo "=== $name ==="
    az logic workflow show --name "$name" --resource-group "$rg" --output json \
      --query "{state:state, version:version, sku:sku, accessControl:accessControl}"
    get_run_history "$name" "$rg" 10
  } &
done
wait

2. Failed Run Analysis

# Get recent failures
az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$RG/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/$WORKFLOW/runs?api-version=2016-06-01&\$filter=status eq 'Failed'&\$top=10" \
  --output json --query "value[].{runId:name, startTime:properties.startTime, error:properties.error}"

# Get actions for a specific failed run
az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$RG/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/$WORKFLOW/runs/$RUN_ID/actions?api-version=2016-06-01" \
  --output json --query "value[?properties.status=='Failed'].{action:name, status:properties.status, error:properties.error, startTime:properties.startTime}"

3. Trigger History and Status

# List triggers in workflow
triggers=$(az logic workflow show --name "$WORKFLOW" --resource-group "$RG" --output json --query "definition.triggers | keys(@)")

# Get trigger history for each
for trigger in $(echo "$triggers" | jq -r '.[]'); do
  {
    get_trigger_history "$WORKFLOW" "$RG" "$trigger" 10
  } &
done
wait

4. Connector and Connection Health

# List all API connections in resource group
list_connections "$RG"

# Check for unhealthy connections
az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/$RG/providers/Microsoft.Web/connections?api-version=2016-06-01" \
  --output json --query "value[?properties.statuses[0].status!='Connected'].{name:name, api:properties.api.name, status:properties.statuses[0].status, error:properties.statuses[0].error}"

5. Run Metrics and Performance

resource_id=$(az logic workflow show --name "$WORKFLOW" --resource-group "$RG" --query "id" -o tsv)
az monitor metrics list --resource "$resource_id" \
  --metric "RunsStarted" "RunsSucceeded" "RunsFailed" "RunLatency" "TriggersFired" "TriggersSucceeded" "TriggersFailed" \
  --interval PT1H --aggregation Total Average --output json

Output Format

Present results as a structured report:

Azure Logic Apps Report
═══════════════════════
Resources discovered: [count]

Resource       Status    Key Metric    Issues
──────────────────────────────────────────────
[name]         [ok/warn] [value]       [findings]

Summary: [total] resources | [ok] healthy | [warn] warnings | [crit] critical
Action Items: [list of prioritized findings]

Target ≤50 lines of output. Use tables for multi-resource comparisons.

Anti-Hallucination Rules

1. NEVER assume resource names — always discover via CLI/API in Phase 1 before referencing in Phase 2.
2. NEVER fabricate metric names or dimensions — verify against the service documentation or --help output.
3. NEVER mix CLI commands between service versions — confirm which version/API you are targeting.
4. ALWAYS use the discovery → verify → analyze chain — every resource referenced must have been discovered first.
5. ALWAYS handle empty results gracefully — an empty response is valid data, not an error to retry.

Counter-Rationalizations

Shortcut	Counter	Why
"I'll skip discovery and check known resources"	Always run Phase 1 discovery first	Resource names change, new resources appear — assumed names cause errors
"The user only asked for a quick check"	Follow the full discovery → analysis flow	Quick checks miss critical issues; structured analysis catches silent failures
"Default configuration is probably fine"	Audit configuration explicitly	Defaults often leave logging, security, and optimization features disabled
"Metrics aren't needed for this"	Always check relevant metrics when available	API/CLI responses show current state; metrics reveal trends and intermittent issues
"I don't have access to that"	Try the command and report the actual error	Assumed permission failures prevent useful investigation; actual errors are informative

Common Pitfalls

1. Consumption vs Standard: Standard Logic Apps use different CLI commands (az logicapp instead of az logic workflow). Check the SKU first.
2. Connection authentication expiry: OAuth-based connections (Office 365, Dynamics) expire and need re-authentication. Check connection status regularly.
3. Trigger polling costs: Recurrence triggers on consumption plan incur one action execution per poll, even with no data. Review polling frequency.
4. Retry policies: Default retry is 4 times with exponential backoff. Failed runs may have succeeded on retry -- check individual action statuses.
5. Concurrency limits: Default concurrency is unlimited for triggers. High-volume triggers can cause throttling on downstream services.
