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

create-flow 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 yesterday.

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.

Guided Flow Creation Wizard

Walk the user through creating a Power Automate flow step by step.

Tools

This skill uses the FlowAgent MCP tools. Clients surface them with a client-specific prefix — mcp__flowagent__<tool> (Claude Code) or flowagent-<tool> (Copilot CLI) — so they're referred to by bare name below (e.g. create_flow). Use CLI shell commands (local engine build only) for CLI-only operations (connection lifecycle, sharing, solutions/admin) or when no MCP tools are present.

Steps

  1. Gather requirements: Ask what the flow should do. Identify triggers, actions, connectors.

  2. Select environment: Call list_environments (use query to filter). Let user pick or auto-select.

  3. Check for templates: Call list_templates. If a template matches (approval, digest, webhook, etc.), offer to use scaffold_flow as a starting point.

  4. Discover connectors: For each connector, call get_connector with query to find the operation, then get_operation_details for exact parameters. Never guess parameter names or types.

  5. Verify connections: Call list_connections filtered by each connector. Confirm Connected status.

  6. Resolve dynamic values: For params with dynamicValues/dynamicTree annotations, call invoke_operation to get actual values (Teams channels, SharePoint sites, etc.).

  7. Review with user: Present the flow design. Use AskUserQuestion to confirm trigger, actions, and connections before creating.

  8. Generate definition: Build following all rules:

    • Always declare $authentication (SecureObject) and $connections (Object) parameters
    • Use correct action type: OpenApiConnection or OpenApiConnectionWebhook (from get_operation_details)
    • Do NOT include authentication in action inputs
    • Use Embedded source in connection references
    • HTTP Request triggers require Premium; prefer Button kind
  9. Validate: Call validate_flow (and optionally preflight_flow) to pre-check. For expressions, look up syntax with get_expression_help.

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.
