connect-pbid

connect-pbid is a skill for Claude Code from data-goblin/power-bi-agentic-development. It costs 221 tokens per session (9,939 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A guide for connecting to the local data model used by Power BI Desktop through PowerShell. TOM and ADOMD.NET are Microsoft libraries for inspecting and querying that model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enumerate models, run DAX queries, modify metadata, manage annotations and calendars, trace queries, or work with field parameters and DAX libraries.
Why use it?
It helps automate work that is difficult to perform through the desktop interface alone, including reading model metadata and sending DAX queries.

About the project

Power BI Agentic Development is a marketplace of skills, plugins, agents, commands, and an MCP server that help coding agents work with Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. It is for creating and managing semantic models, DAX, TMDL, reports, dashboards, workspaces, and deployment processes, with the catalogue entries providing these specialized agent resources.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

connect-pbid 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 10 executable files (daxlib.sh, scripts/connect-and-enumerate.ps1, scripts/connect-from-mac.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.
