Dataverse Business Skills is a collection of natural-language instructions that teach AI agents how to follow business processes, policies, and domain knowledge for Microsoft Dataverse. Organizations use the skills with Dataverse environments connected to products such as Power Apps, Dynamics 365, or Power Platform. The catalogue entries are skills from this collection.
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.

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 | $0.00083 | $0.04539 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.02269 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00908 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00454 |
Grade A, and why
handoff-brief-generator 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 12d 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.

Handoff Brief Generator
When a sales rep goes on vacation or needs to hand off deals temporarily, the backup needs to quickly understand the status of each deal. This skill automatically generates comprehensive handoff briefs from Dataverse data, ensuring smooth coverage and no deals fall through the cracks.
Instructions
Step 1: Identify Handoff Scope
When user says "I'm going on vacation - create a handoff brief for my backup on active deals":
1.1 Get User Context:
- Identify the sales rep going on vacation (current user or specified)
- Determine vacation dates (if provided)
- Identify backup person (if specified)
1.2 Query Active Opportunities:
SELECT opportunityid, name, customerid, accountid, estimatedvalue,
estimatedclosedate, salesstage, stepname, closeprobability,
budgetstatus, need, purchasetimeframe, decisionmaker,
description, currentsituation, customerneed,
msdyn_forecastcategory, msdyn_opportunityscore,
createdon, modifiedon, statecode
FROM opportunity
WHERE ownerid = '[user_id]'
AND statecode = 0
ORDER BY estimatedclosedate ASC
Step 2: For Each Opportunity, Gather Context
2.1 Get Account Information:
SELECT accountid, name, telephone1, emailaddress1,
address1_city, address1_stateorprovince,
industrycode, numberofemployees, primarycontactid
FROM account
WHERE accountid = '[opportunity.accountid]'
2.2 Get Key Contacts:
SELECT contactid, fullname, jobtitle, emailaddress1, telephone1,
mobilephone, accountrolecode, msdyn_decisioninfluencetag
FROM contact
WHERE accountid = '[accountid]'
AND statecode = 0
ORDER BY accountrolecode
2.3 Get Recent Activities (Last 30 Days):
SELECT activityid, activitytypecode, subject, description,
createdon, actualend, statecode, statuscode
FROM activitypointer
WHERE regardingobjectid = '[opportunityid]'
AND createdon >= '[30_days_ago]'
ORDER BY createdon DESC
2.4 Get Open Tasks:
SELECT activityid, subject, description, scheduledend,
prioritycode, statecode, statuscode
FROM task
WHERE regardingobjectid = '[opportunityid]'
AND statecode = 0
ORDER BY scheduledend ASC
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.

handoff-brief-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/dataverse-business-skills (50 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT.
