    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.

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

add-mcscopilot 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.

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.

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

Add Microsoft Copilot Studio

Workflow

  1. Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Configure → 4. Build → 5. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Microsoft Copilot Studio connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections+ New connection → search for the connector → Create.

pa app add data-source --connector microsoftcopilotstudio -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Configure

Ask the user which Copilot Studio agent they want to invoke and what operations they need.

Agent Setup Prerequisites (manual steps the user must complete in Copilot Studio):

  1. Publish the agent: In Copilot Studio, click Channels → select Teams → add to Teams → click Publish.
  2. Get the agent name: Under Channels, click "Web app". The connection string URL contains the agent name. Example: https://...api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/cr3e1_myAgent/conversations?... — the agent name is cr3e1_myAgent.

ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 -- execute an agent and wait for the response:

Use the ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 operation (path: /proactivecopilot/executeAsyncV2). This is the only endpoint that reliably returns agent responses synchronously. It is the same endpoint used by Power Automate's "Execute Agent and wait" action.

const result = await MicrosoftCopilotStudioService.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2({
  message: "Your prompt or data here", // Can be a JSON string
  notificationUrl: "https://notificationurlplaceholder" // Required by API but unused; any URL works
});

// Response structure:
// result.responses — Array of response strings from the agent
// result.conversationId — The conversation ID
// result.lastResponse — The last response from the agent
// result.completed — Boolean indicating if the agent finished

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.
