Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
powershell_heavy
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation provides a PowerShell example for retrieving a managed identity token, but does not offer equivalent Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., curl, wget, or bash). This creates a bias toward Windows users by assuming PowerShell as the default scripting environment for command-line token retrieval. No Linux-specific tools or shell patterns are mentioned in this section, and PowerShell is presented as the only script-based example for this task.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/macOS shell examples using curl or wget for token retrieval from the managed identity endpoint.
  • Explicitly mention that the HTTP GET example can be performed with standard tools available on Linux/macOS, and provide sample bash/curl commands.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is just one option, and provide parity for users on non-Windows platforms.
  • Consider adding a note or a tab for 'Bash' or 'Linux/macOS' in the code example sections where PowerShell is used.
