## What it is
A .NET global command-line tool that queries the Azure Cost Management API to report subscription costs. It outputs accumulated, daily, and per-resource costs plus budgets and anomaly detection to console, text, CSV, markdown, or JSON.

## Use cases
- get the cost of my azure subscription from the command line
- export azure costs to csv or  for reporting
- break down azure costs by resource or meter category
- detect cost anomalies and trends in my azure subscription
- list azure budgets from a script
- compare azure costs between two periods in ci

## When to choose
- you want scriptable azure cost reporting without the portal
- you need machine-readable cost output (/csv) for automation or CI workflows
- you prefer a lightweight dotnet global tool over writing Cost Management API calls

## When to avoid
- your subscription type is unsupported by the Azure Cost Management API (e.g., sponsored subscriptions)
- you need full interactive dashboards or visualization rather than CLI output
- you are not on .NET 8/10 and cannot install the runtime
