Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request
Review the Skillstore skill "azure-keyvault-certificates-rust" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-azure-keyvault-certificates-rust.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-azure-keyvault-certificates-rust/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "azure-keyvault-certificates-rust". Explain how my Rust service should authenticate to Azure Key Vault during development and production.

Expected outcome:

Development uses DeveloperToolsCredential with an authorized local identity. Production should use an appropriate managed identity with the minimum certificate permissions.

Using "azure-keyvault-certificates-rust". Summarize the steps for importing a password-protected certificate.

Expected outcome:

  • Load the encoded certificate and password from protected sources.
  • Build the import parameters without logging sensitive values.
  • Call the import operation and inspect the returned certificate metadata.
  • Clear temporary sensitive data when the application design permits.

Using "azure-keyvault-certificates-rust". What should a certificate policy review cover?

Expected outcome:

Review the issuer, subject, validity period, renewal behavior, key properties, deletion protection, and the RBAC permissions used by the application.

Security Audit

Low Risk
v5 โ€ข 7/23/2026 Open versioned report

All 27 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, fixed installation guidance, placeholder Azure endpoints, or official reference links. One low-severity semantic finding remains because the certificate import example places a password literal directly in source code.

Low
Hardcoded Certificate Import Password Example
The import example places an optional password literal in Rust source. Copying this pattern with a real password could expose credentials through source control or logs.
Line 94 directly initializes the password field from a string literal. The value is clearly a placeholder, so the concern is unsafe example guidance rather than an exposed secret.

What You Can Build

Add Certificate Access

Set up authentication and retrieve certificate metadata from an existing Azure Key Vault.

Manage Certificate Lifecycles

Create, import, list, and delete certificates with policy-aware Rust SDK calls.

Review Azure Certificate Code

Check client setup, RBAC assumptions, certificate policies, and secret handling before deployment.

Try These Prompts

Connect to a Vault
Show me how to connect a Rust application to Azure Key Vault Certificates using DeveloperToolsCredential and my vault URL.
Retrieve a Certificate
Create a Rust workflow that retrieves a named certificate and explains which returned fields contain public certificate data.
Create and Import Certificates
Compare certificate creation and PFX or PEM import in Rust. Include required models, secure password handling, and validation steps.
Design a Lifecycle Service
Design a Rust certificate service using Azure Key Vault. Cover policies, listing, deletion, RBAC, expiration monitoring, retries, and production credential selection.

Best Practices

  • Use managed identity in production and grant only the certificate permissions required by each workload.
  • Keep import passwords and certificate material outside source code, logs, and command history.
  • Test lifecycle operations in a non-production vault and monitor certificate expiration.

Avoid

  • Do not embed certificate passwords, private material, or production vault identifiers in source code.
  • Do not grant full certificate management rights to read-only workloads.
  • Do not assume partial snippets include production error handling, retries, auditing, or recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Rust crates does this skill use?
It uses azure_security_keyvault_certificates for certificate operations and azure_identity for Entra ID authentication.
Does the skill manage private keys directly?
No. It focuses on certificate operations exposed by Azure Key Vault Certificates and does not cover the separate key client.
Can I use DeveloperToolsCredential in production?
It is intended for development scenarios. Use a production credential appropriate for your Azure hosting environment, usually managed identity.
What permissions are required?
Permissions depend on the operation. Grant the minimum Azure RBAC role or custom permissions needed for reading, creating, importing, updating, or deleting certificates.
Does deletion permanently remove a certificate?
The documented delete operation uses Azure Key Vault soft deletion. Permanent purge requires a separate operation and additional authorization.
Are the examples complete applications?
No. They are focused snippets that require project setup, configuration, error handling, testing, and environment-specific security controls.
