az-scout-plugin-fabric-price 2026.4.9

az-scout plugin for Microsoft Fabric capacity pricing

az-scout-plugin-fabric-price

An az-scout plugin that surfaces Microsoft Fabric capacity pricing — PAYG, 1-Year RI, and 3-Year RI — directly inside the az-scout UI, REST API, and MCP server.

Data is sourced from the az-scout-bdd-api pricing database and enriched with per-SKU costs using the Fabric CU (Capacity Unit) mapping.

Features

• UI tab — interactive pricing table with region/currency selectors, per-SKU hourly & monthly costs, savings percentages, and per-CU-hour summary cards
• 3 REST endpoints — capacities list, latest prices, and price time series
• 3 MCP tools — fabric_capacities, fabric_prices_latest, fabric_price_series
• Dark/light theme support via CSS custom properties
• In-memory TTL cache (configurable via FABRIC_PRICE_CACHE_TTL env var, default 300 s)

Prerequisites

• az-scout installed
• az-scout-bdd-sku plugin installed and configured with a valid API URL pointing to a running az-scout-bdd-api instance

Installation

uv pip install -e .     # development
# or
uv pip install az-scout-plugin-fabric-price  # from PyPI

The plugin is auto-discovered at startup — no extra configuration needed.

Configuration

This plugin reuses the BDD-SKU plugin's API URL. Set it via any of:

1. BDD-SKU Settings UI — PUT /plugins/bdd-sku/settings
2. Environment variable — BDD_SKU_API_URL
3. TOML config — ~/.config/az-scout/bdd-sku.toml → [api] base_url = "…"

Cache TTL can be overridden:

export FABRIC_PRICE_CACHE_TTL=600  # seconds

REST API

All endpoints are mounted at /plugins/fabric-price/.

uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/
uv run mypy src/
uv run pytest

Versioning

Version is derived from git tags via hatch-vcs. Tags follow CalVer: v2026.2.0.

How it works

1. The plugin JS loads the HTML fragment into #plugin-tab-example.
2. It watches #tenant-select and #region-select for changes.
3. When both are set, it fetches subscriptions from /api/subscriptions.
4. The user picks a subscription and clicks the button.
5. The plugin calls GET /plugins/example/hello?subscription_name=…&tenant=…&region=….

Quality checks

The scaffold includes GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows/:

• ci.yml — Runs lint (ruff + mypy) and tests (pytest) on Python 3.11–3.13, triggered on push/PR to main.
• publish.yml — Builds, creates a GitHub Release, and publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing (OIDC). Triggered on version tags (v*). Requires a pypi environment configured in your repo settings with OIDC trusted publishing.

Run the same checks locally:

uv run ruff check src/ tests/
uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/
uv run mypy src/
uv run pytest

To publish a release:

git tag v2026.2.0
git push origin v2026.2.0

Copilot support

The .github/copilot-instructions.md file provides context to GitHub Copilot about the plugin structure, conventions, and az-scout plugin API. It helps Copilot generate code that follows the project patterns.
