• Claude Desktop user prompt what all vms do we have on azure currently use MCP server via model Sonnet 4.5

Azure MCP server was successfully invoked , however the MCP server had missing tools / CLI (not sure if this is expected) and hence the execution was incomplete.

Expected behavior

The MCP should have all necessary dependencies (CLI , executables) so that it can fetch right information that is requested by the user

Actual behavior

Azure MCP server was successfully invoked , however the MCP server had missing tools / CLI (not sure if this is expected) and hence the execution was incomplete.

Reproduction Steps

We don't have tools for managing VM resources right now. Onboarding it is a part of the onboarding request for Azure Compute services. #149
