Enable namespace-level cost visibility using the built-in AKS cost monitoring add-on.
Use generate_query, validate_query, then execute_query against AKS managed
clusters. Project the cluster name, resource group, SKU tier, and
properties.metricsProfile.costAnalysis.enabled. Follow any skipToken.
If ARM MCP does not expose AKS cost-analysis enablement, identify the AKS
Managed Clusters API operation and follow the fallback
guidance. Show the proposed change and require explicit
approval before using Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or REST. The Azure portal’s
Kubernetes Cost Analysis view or the azure-kubernetes skill are also valid
handoffs. Do not claim the add-on was enabled without a successful response.
Warn that upgrading from Free to Standard introduces an ongoing cluster
management fee. Use get_retail_prices to estimate the fee and label it as
public retail pricing, not the customer’s negotiated price. Obtain explicit
approval before handing off the tier change.
Namespace-level cost data is available in:
query_aks_costs grouped by Cluster and NamespaceRisk: Low for enabling the add-on. Upgrading tier (Free -> Standard) has a cost — always confirm with user first.
