One of 6 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Our Kubernetes pods on Azure Kubernetes Service cannot establish a connection to our Azure SQL Database despite the Service Connector being created. We suspect either pod network identity or front-end connection errors. Which specific Azure Service Connector documentation resource covers diagnosing front-end errors and AKS-specific connection failures?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Recommends checking the how-to-troubleshoot-front-end-error document for front-end diagnosis | Missed | Passed |
| Recommends checking the how-to-use-service-connector-in-aks document for AKS connection guidance | Missed | Passed |
