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.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the app's connected data sources or browse the operations offered by a connector.
Why use it?
It helps you see what the app already uses and what a connector can do before adding or coding against a data source.

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

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 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

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

  1. What data sources are already bound to this app?ms app show --json (inspects ms.config.json).
  2. What connectors are reachable in the active environment?ms connector list-actions --connector <id> for a specific connector, or browse the public reference for available api-ids.

Workflow

  1. 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):

  • 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: App-bound data sources

test -f ms.config.json || { echo "Not in a Microsoft App workspace."; exit 1; }
$BIN app show --json

Parse the response for the data-source list and print a summary:

Connector api-id Type Name
Dataverse dataverse table contact
SharePoint Online shared_sharepointonline table Project Milestones
Teams shared_teams action (entire connector)

Use this to spot drift (e.g., ms.config.json claims a data source that no longer exists in the env).

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.

list-connectors is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/managed-apps (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 992 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
