What is list-connectors?

A discovery tool for Microsoft App data connections. It can show data sources already attached to the current app or operations available through a specific connector.

Use it to inspect the app's connected data sources or browse the operations offered by a connector.

It helps you see what the app already uses and what a connector can do before adding or coding against a data source.

About the project

Microsoft Managed Apps is a project for building custom web applications with React, TypeScript, and Vite, and it provides Microsoft's official templates and development tooling. Developers use its SDK, CLI, and Vite plugin to create and manage these applications. Its catalogue add-ons help AI coding agents build Microsoft Managed Apps.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/microsoft/managed-apps

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	$0.00049	$0.01475
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00590
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00295

Security

Grade A, and why

list-connectors 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

📋 Shared Instructions: shared-instructions.md — Cross-cutting concerns.

List Connectors

Three read-only views, depending on what the user is asking:

What connectors are available, and which are allowed vs blocked by org policy? → ms connector list (lists every connector in the environment with a Policy Status of Allowed or Blocked).
What data sources are already bound to this app? → ms app show --json (inspects ms.config.json).
What operations does a specific connector expose? → ms connector list-actions --connector <id>, or browse the public reference for available api-ids.

Workflow

Memory Bank → 2. Verify Env → 3. Mode → 4. Run + Present

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Read memory-bank.md for the app's environment, if recorded. This is for context/verification only (confirming you're working against the expected app/environment) — ms app show --json and ms connector list-actions don't take environment targeting from it and the listing isn't scoped by it.

Step 2: Verify Env

BIN=ms
$BIN auth status                                      # confirm the active UPN

Step 3: Mode

Ask (or infer):

available: list connectors available in the environment and whether each is allowed or blocked by org policy (ms connector list).
app: enumerate data sources already wired into the current project (requires ms.config.json in cwd).
connector: list the operations exposed by a specific connector — useful when planning an /add-* invocation.

Step 4a: Available connectors + policy status

BIN=ms
$BIN connector list [--search <term>]

Output is a table of connectors with a Policy Status column (Allowed or Blocked) and a Tabular column. Use it to confirm a connector is available and not blocked by your organization's DLP policy before planning an /add-* invocation. Add --search <term> to narrow a large catalog.

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.
