What is ssis_adf_agent copilot-instructions.md?

A set of project instructions for an agent that converts SSIS packages into Azure Data Factory artifacts. SSIS is Microsoft's older data-integration system, while Azure Data Factory is its cloud service for building data pipelines.

Use it to find SSIS packages, analyze their complexity and dependencies, convert them into pipelines and related resources, validate the generated JSON, and deploy it to Azure Data Factory.

It provides the project context and component mappings needed to understand, convert, validate, and deploy SSIS workflows as Azure Data Factory JSON.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01255	$0.01255
Opus 5.5	$0.00502	$0.00502
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00251	$0.00251
Haiku 4.5	$0.00126	$0.00126

Security

Grade A, and why

ssis_adf_agent copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SSIS → ADF Conversion Agent — Copilot Domain Knowledge

Project Overview

This project exposes an MCP server (ssis-adf-agent) that reads SSIS packages (.dtsx) and converts them to Azure Data Factory (ADF) JSON artifacts. Five tools are available via the MCP server; use them in the order that makes sense for the task.

MCP Tools Available

Tool	Purpose
`scan_ssis_packages`	Discover .dtsx files from local path, Git repo, or SQL Server
`analyze_ssis_package`	Complexity score, gap analysis, and dependency order for one package
`convert_ssis_package`	Full conversion to ADF JSON (pipeline, linked services, datasets, data flows, triggers)
`validate_adf_artifacts`	Structural validation of generated JSON before deploying
`deploy_to_adf`	Push artifacts to Azure Data Factory via SDK

SSIS Component Mapping

SSIS Component	ADF Equivalent	Notes
Execute SQL Task	Stored Procedure / Script / Lookup Activity	Depends on ResultSetType and SQL pattern
Data Flow Task (simple)	Copy Activity	Single source → single destination, no transformations
Data Flow Task (complex)	Execute Data Flow Activity (Mapping Data Flow)	Multiple sources, transformations, or fanout
Execute Package Task	Execute Pipeline Activity	Child pipeline must also be converted
Script Task (C# / VB)	Azure Function Activity	Stub generated at `stubs/<FunctionName>/__init__.py`; requires manual porting
ForEach Loop Container	ForEach Activity	Expression varies by enumerator type
For Loop Container	SetVariable (init) + Until Activity + SetVariable (increment)	Condition logic is inverted
Sequence Container	Flattened into parent with dependsOn chaining	No ADF equivalent
File System Task	Copy Activity (Azure paths) or Web Activity → Azure Function	Local paths need Azure-path substitution
Execute Process Task	Web Activity → Azure Function	Manual: wrap process call in Function
FTP Task	FTP connector via Copy Activity	Requires FTP linked service
Send Mail Task	Logic App / Web Activity	No native ADF equivalent
Event Handler (OnError)	Pipeline fails path / error handling	Converted to sub-pipeline reference
Event Handler (OnPostExecute)	Succeeded dependency path	Converted to sub-pipeline reference

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
