Confirm service, SKU, region, OS, tier, usage quantity, and billing period. Ask only for missing details needed to disambiguate a meter.
Call get_retail_prices. Compare options with separate calls when needed. Preserve productName, skuName, armSkuName, price type, unit, region, and currency so the selected row is auditable. The tool requests up to 5000 rows. If Count reaches that limit or NextPageLink is present, narrow the filters and disclose that the result set was truncated; do not invoke the returned URL directly.
Exclude Spot, Dev/Test, Windows, Reservation, or Savings Plan meters unless they match the request. If multiple plausible meters remain, ask for the minimum missing detail or show a short candidate table containing productName, skuName, armSkuName, meter name, and price type. Never silently choose among multiple meter shapes.
Show unit price x usage = estimated period cost and list every assumption. Reservation prices are term purchase totals; normalize one-year prices by 12 and three-year prices by 36. Savings Plan and consumption prices are hourly meter rates and may be multiplied by expected hours.
