canvas-apps

A plugin for building Microsoft Power Apps Canvas Apps through a Canvas Authoring connection. It provides the app-building tools and supporting configuration for screens, controls, YAML files, and compiled app files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the app-building extension for creating or editing Canvas Apps, including work with .pa.yaml and .msapp files and the Canvas Authoring MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a defined way to work with Canvas Apps and their local app files. This keeps app creation and editing tied to the Power Platform authoring environment.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

canvas-apps 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 2d 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.

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.
