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
- Session lock lost, session lock expired, or session receiver errors

- Duplicate events or checkpoint offset resets
- SDK configuration questions (retry, prefetch, batch size, receive batch behavior)
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_resourcehealthto verify the namespace is healthy - Review the error message — Match against language-specific troubleshooting guide
- Look up documentation — Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentationto search Microsoft Learn for the error or topic - Check configuration — Verify connection string, entity name, consumer group
- Recommend fix — Apply remediation, citing documentation found
Troubleshooting Guides
Connectivity, SDK, and auth troubleshooting guides are located in the azure-diagnostics skill under troubleshooting/messaging/.
