When running Azure API Center Python automation in production environments, which environment variable should be configured to restrict DefaultAzureCredential to production-safe credentials?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Specifies AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS as the environment variable. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Manage API inventory, metadata, and governance in Azure API Center.
pip install azure-mgmt-apicenter
pip install azure-identity
AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=your-subscription-id # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:
- Prefer
DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
- Local dev:
DefaultAzureCredentialworks as-is.- Production: set
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod(orAZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.- Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
- Sync:
with <Client>(...) as client:- Async:
async with <Client>(...) as client:andasync with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:(fromazure.identity.aio)Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential, ManagedIdentityCredential
from azure.mgmt.apicenter import ApiCenterMgmtClient
import os
# Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
credential = DefaultAzureCredential(require_envvar=True)
# Or use a specific credential directly in production:
# See https://learn.microsoft.com/python/api/overview/azure/identity-readme?view=azure-python#credential-classes
