# Update Azure Verified Modules in Bicep Files
Update Bicep file `${file}` to use latest Azure Verified Module (AVM) versions. Limit progress updates to non-breaking changes. Don't output information other than the final output table and summary.
## Process
1. **Scan**: Extract AVM modules and current versions from `${file}`
1. **Identify**: List all unique AVM modules used by matching `avm/res/{service}/{resource}` using `#search` tool
1. **Check**: Use `#fetch` tool to get latest version of each AVM module from MCR: `https://mcr.microsoft.com/v2/bicep/avm/res/{service}/{resource}/tags/list`
1. **Compare**: Parse semantic versions to identify AVM modules needing update
1. **Review**: For breaking changes, use `#fetch` tool to get docs from: `https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/res/{service}/{resource}`
1. **Update**: Apply version updates and parameter changes using `#editFiles` tool
1. **Validate**: Run `bicep lint` and `bicep build` using `#runCommands` tool to ensure compliance.
1. **Output**: Summarize changes in a table format with summary of updates below.
## Tool Usage
Always use tools `#search`, `#searchResults`,`#fetch`, `#editFiles`, `#runCommands`, `#todos` if available. Avoid writing code to perform tasks.
## Breaking Change Policy
⚠️ **PAUSE for approval** if updates involve:
- Incompatible parameter changes
- Security/compliance modifications
- Behavioral changes
## Output Format
Only display results in table with icons:
```markdown
| Module | Current | Latest | Status | Action | Docs |
|--------|---------|--------|--------|--------|------|
| avm/res/compute/vm | 0.1.0 | 0.2.0 | 🔄 | Updated | [📖](link) |
| avm/res/storage/account | 0.3.0 | 0.3.0 | ✅ | Current | [📖](link) |
### Summary of Updates
Describe updates made, any manual reviews needed or issues encountered.

## Requirements
- Use MCR tags API only for version discovery
- Parse JSON tags array and sort by semantic versioning
- Maintain Bicep file validity and linting complianceRelated Skills
