How can an agent resolve this problem? [mql] ๐ azure: --tenant-id is ignored with Azure CLI authentication; the token comes from the CLI's default tenant
## Observed symptom
๐ azure: --tenant-id is ignored with Azure CLI authentication; the token comes from the CLI's default tenant
With Azure CLI authentication, the azure provider ignores `--tenant-id`. It always requests the token from the Azure CLI's **default** tenant, so scanning a subscription in any other tenant the user can access fails with `InvalidAuthenticationTokenTenant`.
1. `az login` with an account that has access to subscriptions in two tenants, A (the CLI default) and B. 2. Scan a subscription in tenant B, passing its tenant explicitly:
## Literal error text
```
! could not read the subscription record ... RESPONSE 401: 401 Unauthorized
```
