Analysis summary

App Insights Instrumentation is an officially published skill from Microsoft. Anomity scores its risk at 20 out of 100 (low).

Guides Azure Application Insights SDK setup for web applications — adding the SDK, configuring sampling and correlation, and wiring custom telemetry.

It reads and writes project files. The risk it introduces is downstream rather than immediate: instrumentation decides what leaves your application as telemetry, and an over-eager configuration can ship request bodies, headers, or user identifiers to a monitoring backend. Review what the generated configuration actually captures, not just that it compiles.
