What it does

Run Microsoft Entra ID tenant reconnaissance, token acquisition and manipulation, and federation backdoor testing with the AADInternals PowerShell toolkit to validate identity-attack resilience.

What this skill changes about the agent has not been set out here as a list. Its SKILL.md, shown below, says it in the author’s own words.

The skill itself

A skill is instructions the model reads, so you can see what you are getting: below is the start of its SKILL.md. The front matter loads with every session, the body loads when the skill triggers, and the whole file comes with the install.

23# Auditing Entra ID with AADInternals
24
25> **Legal Notice:** This skill is for authorized security testing, red-team engagements, and educational purposes only. AADInternals can forge SAML tokens and install federation backdoors that grant persistent impersonation of any tenant user. Use only against tenants you own or have explicit written authorization (rules of engagement) to test. Unauthorized use violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and equivalent laws.

27## Overview
28
29AADInternals is the most comprehensive offensive/administrative PowerShell toolkit for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Azure AD Connect, and Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), authored by Dr. Nestori Syynimaa (Gerenios / Secureworks). It exposes hundreds of cmdlets (all prefixed AADInt) covering unauthenticated outsider reconnaissance, access-token acquisition for every Microsoft API, directory manipulation, AD FS/PTA attacks, and the technique it is most famous for: **federation backdoors** that abuse the Set-MsolDomainFederationSettings / ConvertTo-AADIntBackdoor path so an attacker who controls a federated domain's IssuerUri can mint SAML tokens for arbitrary users — mapping to MITRE ATT&CK **T1606.002 (Forge Web Credentials: SAML Tokens)**, the same class of technique used in the SolarWinds (Golden SAML) intrusions.
30
31The toolkit separates capabilities by required position. Invoke-AADIntReconAsOutsider and Get-AADIntLoginInformation require no credentials — they query public endpoints (getuserrealm, OpenID configuration, autodiscover) to reveal verified domains, tenant ID, federation type, brand, and whether Desktop/Seamless SSO is enabled. With a foothold, Get-AADIntAccessTokenFor* cmdlets acquire tokens for Azure AD Graph, Microsoft Graph, Exchange Online, SharePoint, Azure Core Management, and more, optionally caching them so subsequent cmdlets reuse them. With Global Administrator (or a synced AD Connect account), the toolkit can read directory secrets, manipulate users, and establish the federation backdoor.
32
33This skill drives AADInternals through a defensive-validation lens: confirm what an external attacker can learn, what a low-privileged token reaches, and whether federation/AD FS configuration would allow Golden SAML — then produce evidence and hardening recommendations.
34
35## When to Use
36
37- During an authorized Entra ID / Microsoft 365 red-team or assumed-breach assessment
38- To enumerate external attack surface (verified domains, federation type, SSO) before credential attacks
39- To validate that federation and AD FS token-signing certificates are protected against Golden SAML
40- To test token acquisition and replay across Microsoft first-party APIs
41- When building detections (pair with the blue-team Graph-log hunting skill) and you need real AADInternals telemetry

Why you can read it

Nothing in a skill executes. The client loads the text and the model follows it, so a skill can be audited the way a runbook is — by reading it.

What it costs in context

Skills are not billed by the call. They are paid for in context: every token the instructions occupy is a token your code, your diff and your conversation cannot use. Here is what this one takes and when it takes it.

≈140

of a 200k window
Ten skills this size would take about 32% of the window before you open a file.
050k100k150k200k context window

6.4k tokens, estimated from the bundle at four bytes to the token, held for the rest of the session once it triggers. Heavy. Teams tend to install this one per project rather than globally, and load it only when the job comes up.

Servers bill, skills cost

A server charges by the month. A skill charges once per session, in context, and then keeps charging it for as long as the session lives.

Before and after

The same question, put to the same model twice: once as it comes, and once with these instructions loaded.

No worked example has been published for this skill yet.

The procedure it runs

The procedure has not been set out here step by step. It is in the body of its SKILL.md: the start of it is shown above, and the whole file comes with the install.

Prose, not code

These steps are written for a model to follow, not executed by a runtime. It can still be told to skip one, and it will say so when it does.

Servers it uses

None. This skill calls no MCP servers at all.

Everything it needs is in the instructions, so it works in a project with nothing connected — the model reads the file and changes how it works with what it can already reach.

Its SKILL.md does not declare which tools it asks the agent for, so what it touches is whatever the instructions themselves ask for — read them before you install it.

What it asks for
Writes filesnot declared
Network accessnot declared

This SKILL.md carries no allowed-tools line, so neither is declared. A skill grants no permissions of its own — it can only ask for tools your client already has.

What it will not do

Every skill is narrow, and the useful ones say where they stop. These are the jobs this one is the wrong tool for.

What this skill is not for has not been published here. Nothing is implied by that: it is a section the author has not filled in.

What is in the bundle

5 files, 30.3 kB on disk. Mostly text — the instructions the model reads — with 1 script in it that your client would run only if the instructions tell it to.

  • SKILL.md10.6 kB
  • LICENSE11.3 kB
  • references/api-reference.md2.5 kB
  • references/standards.md1.2 kB
  • scripts/agent.py4.7 kB
What is not in it

A skill installs nothing and depends on nothing: it is a folder your client reads. This one carries 1 script beside the text, so the bundle is 5 files you can review in full before installing. The Apache-2.0 licence covers the templates and examples as well as the instructions.

Install

Installing copies the bundle into your project. Nothing runs at install time — the files sit on disk until the model reads them.

# Auditing Entra ID with AADInternals · 6.4k tokens when loaded · macOS, Linux mkdir -p .claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals" ] && { [ ! -e .claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals ] || { mv .claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals" .claude/skills/ && echo "Installed .claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals"

Windows PowerShell says 'running scripts is disabled on this system'? Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned once, or type npx.cmd instead of npx (codex.cmd, gemini.cmd, grok.cmd likewise). PowerShell 7 needs neither. Writes to .claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals/ in the current project. For every project instead, run mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && t=$(mktemp -d) && curl -fsSL -o "$t/bundle.tar.gz" https://mcprush.com/api/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals/bundle.tar.gz && tar -xzf "$t/bundle.tar.gz" -C "$t" && [ -d "$t/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals" ] && { [ ! -e ~/.claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals ] || { mv ~/.claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals "$t/.previous" && echo "Previous copy moved to $t/.previous"; }; } && mv "$t/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals" ~/.claude/skills/ && echo "Installed ~/.claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals" (macOS, Linux) — or add --global to the npx line. The curl line replaces .claude/skills/auditing-entra-id-with-aadinternals/ only after the download succeeds, so files left there by another skill of the same name, or by an older release, do not mix in. A copy already there is moved aside, not deleted, and the line prints where.

Which clients pick it up on their own

A skill is a folder of text. Most of these read a skills folder and pick it up without being told; the rest take the same folder another way — an upload in the app, a parameter on an API call — and then choose it by its description just the same.

Versions

v1.0 is what is on the shelf; no release here carries a date. Instructions change more often than APIs do — a skill can be rewritten entirely without anything it depends on moving.

v1.0
  • No earlier releases have been published to the marketplace.
Pinning

The install command always fetches the release that is current the day you run it — v1.0 today — and cannot ask for an earlier one. The copy on your disk does not change until you run it again.
