description
str

The description of the skill which describes the inputs, outputs, and usage of the skill.

context
str

Represents the level at which operations take place, such as the document root or document content (for example, /document or /document/content). The default is /document.

inputs

Inputs of the skills could be a column in the source data set, or the output of an upstream skill. Required.

outputs

The output of a skill is either a field in a search index, or a value that can be consumed as an input by another skill. Required.

resource_url
str

The resource URI of the Azure OpenAI resource.

deployment_name
str

ID of the Azure OpenAI model deployment on the designated resource.

api_key
str

API key of the designated Azure OpenAI resource.

auth_identity

The user-assigned managed identity used for outbound connections.

model_name

The name of the embedding model that is deployed at the provided deploymentId path. Known values are: "text-embedding-ada-002", "text-embedding-3-large", "text-embedding-3-small", "gpt-5-mini", "gpt-5-nano", "gpt-5.4-mini", and "gpt-5.4-nano".

dimensions
int

The number of dimensions the resulting output embeddings should have. Only supported in text-embedding-3 and later models.

odata_type
str

A URI fragment specifying the type of skill. Required. Default value is "#Microsoft.Skills.Text.AzureOpenAIEmbeddingSkill".

Methods

as_dict

Return a dict that can be turned into json using json.dump.

clear

Remove all items from D.

copy
get

Get the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default. :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary. Defaults to None :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any

items
keys
pop

Removes specified key and return the corresponding value. :param str key: The key to pop. :param any default: The value to return if key is not in the dictionary :returns: The value corresponding to the key. :rtype: any :raises KeyError: If key is not found and default is not given.

popitem

Removes and returns some (key, value) pair :returns: The (key, value) pair. :rtype: tuple :raises KeyError: if D is empty.

setdefault

Same as calling D.get(k, d), and setting D[k]=d if k not found :param str key: The key to look up. :param any default: The value to set if key is not in the dictionary :returns: D[k] if k in D, else d. :rtype: any

update

Updates D from mapping/iterable E and F. :param any args: Either a mapping object or an iterable of key-value pairs.
