Azure

​

Overview

Phinite’s Azure predefined tool lets workspace assistants call Azure APIs through DevStudio after you save a connection under Integrations → Predefined tools. Manage Azure resources via the Azure Resource Manager REST API — subscriptions, resource groups, virtual machines, storage accounts, and App Services.

​

What this integration enables

• Automate workflows using this predefined tool from agent graphs
• Connect once under Integrations and reuse across assistants
• Enable individual subtools per agent in Graph Studio

​

Notes

• Store API keys and tokens securely; many providers show secrets only once
• Use separate connections for Dev, UAT, and Prod environments where possible
• Test with a minimal subtool call after saving credentials
