Bias Analysis
Bias Types:
⚠️
powershell_heavy
⚠️
windows_first
⚠️
missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing detailed PowerShell examples for obtaining authorization tokens, while omitting equivalent Linux or cross-platform scripting examples (e.g., Bash, curl, Python). The PowerShell MSAL example is given more prominence and detail than the Azure CLI example, and there are no Linux-native command-line or scripting alternatives shown. This may hinder Linux users or those working in cross-platform environments.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Linux/Bash/curl examples for obtaining OAuth tokens, such as using curl with the Microsoft identity platform endpoints.
- Provide Python or other cross-platform scripting examples using MSAL libraries.
- Ensure that Azure CLI examples are as detailed as the PowerShell examples, and clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform.
- When listing command-line options, present cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST with curl) before or alongside Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention that the PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows users, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
