The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add microsoft/github-copilot-for-azure/appinsights-instrumentation@sha256:b18814cf8ca529eeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.0.0-placeholder, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
