feat: add `azd tool uninstall` command with per-host skill support by hemarina · Pull Request #8794 · Azure/azure-dev

hemarina · 2026-06-24T02:05:30Z

Summary

Adds the missing azd tool uninstall command to the azd tool group, completing the install / upgrade / uninstall lifecycle. The command removes installed tools using the same mechanism each tool was installed through, and adds per-host support for skills.

azd tool [command]

Available Commands
  check         : Check for tool updates.
  install       : Install specified tools.
  list          : List all tools with status.
  show          : Show details for a specific tool.
  uninstall     : Uninstall installed tools.   <-- new
  upgrade       : Upgrade installed tools.

Behavior

azd tool uninstall <tool...> — uninstall the named tool(s).
--all — uninstall every installed tool.
--dry-run — preview what would be uninstalled without making changes.
No args (interactive) — multi-select from installed tools (nothing pre-selected, since uninstall is destructive).
--output json — structured per-tool results.

Per-host skills (`--host`)

For skill tools (e.g. azure-skills, which install through agent CLIs like copilot/claude):

azd tool uninstall <skill> — removes the skill from every host it is installed through.
azd tool uninstall <skill> --host copilot — removes it from that host only.
azd tool uninstall <skill> --host all — removes it from every detected host.
--host errors on non-skill tools.

Uninstall coverage by tool category

Category	Mechanism
CLI (az-cli, github-copilot-cli)	`winget uninstall` / `brew uninstall` / `apt-get remove` / `npm uninstall -g`
VS Code extension	`code --uninstall-extension <id>`
Server (azure-mcp-server)	`npm uninstall -g`
Skill (azure-skills)	per-host `plugin uninstall` (copilot, claude)
azd extension (azure.ai.agents)	`azd extension uninstall <id>` (via new `InstallStrategy.UninstallCommand`)

After running the uninstall command, success is verified by re-detecting that the tool is no longer present (inverted from install, with the same retry/backoff for non-CLI tools).

Implementation

pkg/tool/installer.go — Uninstall on the Installer interface; runUninstall (package-manager / explicit UninstallCommand / direct-download) and runSkillUninstall (per-host removal + host-scoped verification); buildUninstallCommand, executeUninstall, executeUninstallCommand, executeDirectDownloadUninstall, and dedicated error builders.
pkg/tool/manifest.go — new SkillHost.PluginUninstallCommand (populated for copilot/claude) and InstallStrategy.UninstallCommand (populated for the azd extension).
pkg/tool/manager.go — UninstallTools(ctx, ids, opts...), forwarding host options; per-tool failures don't abort the batch; dependencies are intentionally left in place.
cmd/tool.go — the uninstall subcommand, toolUninstallAction/flags, --host resolution (shared with install/upgrade), and dry-run, reusing the existing runToolOperation and telemetry plumbing.

Telemetry

Reuses the existing tool.id/tool.ids, tool.dry_run, and tool.install.* aggregate fields (no new fields/events). Updated telemetry-coverage_test.go, docs/reference/telemetry-data.md, and docs/specs/metrics-audit/feature-telemetry-matrix.md.

Tests

Installer: non-skill package-manager uninstall, UninstallCommand path, still-detected failure, unsupported strategy, buildUninstallCommand table, and skill per-host removal (default / explicit host / not-installed / unknown host).
Manager: UninstallTools delegation, option forwarding, partial-failure batch, unknown id.
Command: host-option resolution, single-tool delegation + telemetry, dry-run no-op.
Regenerated TestUsage / TestFigSpec snapshots.

Notes

azd tool uninstall is unavailable for tools with only a custom shell InstallCommand and no reverse command / package manager; those return a clear "remove manually" message.
The package-manager uninstall commands run non-interactively, matching the install path; environments needing elevation (winget machine-scope MSI) or passwordless sudo (apt) apply equally to install and uninstall.

The production code is solid and follows existing patterns well. One test has a mock setup bug that causes CI failures on all platforms.

TestUninstall_NonSkill_CommandFails uses &mockDetector{} which defaults to Installed: false. After the npm command fails, runUninstall checks whether the tool is still detected. Since the mock reports it as not installed, the idempotent success path fires (result.Success = true) instead of the intended error path. The test then fails its assert.False(t, result.Success) assertion.

Fix: use installedDetector("1.0.0") so the tool is still detected after the failed command, triggering the packageManagerUninstallFailedError path the test intends to exercise.

Prior feedback addressed: TestUninstall_NonSkill_CommandFails now uses installedDetector("1.0.0"), correctly exercising the failure path.

The skill-before-host uninstall ordering in UninstallTools is a solid design choice with proper test coverage. One minor observation below on dry-run output for skills.

One Suggestion and a Nit.

RickWinter

This adds azd tool uninstall as the inverse of tool install, threading a new Uninstall through the Installer interface, Manager.UninstallTools, and the cmd action, plus --all, --dry-run, and --host for skills. The shape is right: it mirrors the install/upgrade action structure, reuses the same telemetry emitter, keeps the tool.id vs tool.ids mutual-exclusion discipline, and the idempotent "already gone -> success" handling on every removal path is the correct call. Skill-before-host ordering in UninstallTools (so the host CLI is still on PATH to remove the plugin) is a genuinely good catch and is well covered by tests.

The one thing worth resolving before merge is the duplicated explicit-host resolution loop in installer.go: resolveSkillUninstallTargets copies the existing install-path block verbatim, which is exactly the cross-scope duplication AGENTS.md asks us to hoist. Not blocking, but cheap to fix now while both are fresh.

Nothing here is a security or correctness blocker. Coverage is thorough (manager, installer, and cmd layers all exercised), the docs/telemetry matrices are updated, and the snapshot regeneration is included. Disposition: COMMENT. Address the duplication if you agree; everything else is follow-up at most.

Reviewed commits dcf0010 and a0d57b8 (the 2 new commits since my last review).

The four extracted helpers preserve the behavior of the inline blocks they replace:

toolIDUsageAttrs: same mutual-exclusion between tool.id/tool.ids, same sorting for batch, same dry_run pairing. All 4 call sites (install, install dry-run, upgrade, uninstall) pass through identically.
explicitSkillHostTargets: same findSkillHost + PATH check + error message with supported hosts list. Wired into both resolveSkillTargets (install/upgrade) and resolveSkillUninstallTargets (uninstall).
configuredSkillHostsFor: same installed-to-configured mapping via findSkillHost. Used in both the upgrade and uninstall default-host paths.
findSkillHost: wraps the slices.IndexFunc lookup that was duplicated across both callers.

No remaining concerns. My earlier CHANGES_REQUESTED finding (test mock in TestUninstall_NonSkill_CommandFails) was fixed in 842c109. The dry-run host display observation is tracked in #8786.

azd auth login

Log in to Azure.

Synopsis

Log in to Azure.

When run without any arguments, log in interactively using a browser. To log in using a device code, pass
--use-device-code.

To log in as a service principal, pass --client-id and --tenant-id as well as one of: --client-secret,
--client-certificate, or --federated-credential-provider.

To log in using a managed identity, pass --managed-identity, which will use the system assigned managed identity.
To use a user assigned managed identity, pass --client-id in addition to --managed-identity with the client id of
the user assigned managed identity you wish to use.

When already logged in, azd automatically clears cached authentication data (such as stale tokens)
before re-authenticating. This ensures a clean login state and prevents issues with expired or
corrupted cached credentials.

azd auth login [flags]

Options

      --check-status                           Checks the log-in status instead of logging in.

azd extension upgrade

Upgrade installed extensions to the latest version.

Synopsis

Upgrade one or more installed extensions.

By default, uses the stored registry source for each extension. If the stored
source is unavailable, falls back to the main (azd) registry. Extensions that
were installed from a non-main registry (e.g., dev) are automatically promoted
to the main registry when a newer version is available there.

Use --source to explicitly override the registry source for the upgrade. Use
--all to upgrade all installed extensions in a single batch; failures in one
extension do not prevent the remaining extensions from being upgraded.

When upgrading an extension that has dependencies, any installed
dependencies are automatically upgraded too, to the highest version
satisfying the extension's declared constraints. Use
--no-dependency-upgrades to opt out and upgrade only the named
extension.

Use --output json for a structured report of all upgrade results.

Synopsis

Initialize a new application.

When used with --template, a new directory is created (named after the template)
and the project is initialized inside it — similar to git clone.

Re-running init in an initialized project is idempotent: the existing environment is
reused instead of failing. With --no-prompt and no -e, the recorded default environment
is reused.
