integrate-backend

integrate-backend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/power-platform-skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (7,190 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning and routing tool for choosing how a Power Pages site should connect to backend services and data. It compares options such as Web API, server logic, cloud flows, and AI Web API before sending the work to specialised tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding how to add Dataverse operations, server-side rules, background automation, or AI-generated summaries and grounded search.
Why use it?
It helps match the technical approach to the business problem, data flow, security needs, and performance requirements.

About the project

microsoft/power-platform-skills is a plugin marketplace containing reusable skills, agents, and commands for developing with Microsoft Power Platform. Developers use it to build and deploy Power Pages sites, model-driven Power Apps, and related solutions through Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. The catalogue entries are the marketplace's included skills, agents, plugins, and other agent components.

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

integrate-backend 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 583 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plugin check: Run node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js" — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.

Backend Integration

Analyze the user's business problem and recommend the right backend integration approach — Web API, AI Web API, Server Logic, Cloud Flows, or a combination — then route to the appropriate skill(s) to implement the solution.

Core Principles

  • Understand the problem first: Never jump to a technology choice. Analyze the user's intent, data flow, security needs, and performance requirements before recommending.
  • Recommend the simplest approach that works: Web API for straightforward Dataverse CRUD, AI Web API for generative summaries or grounded search over existing data, Server Logic when server-side processing is needed, Cloud Flows for async background work. Don't over-engineer.
  • Secure actions belong on the server: When a write depends on a business rule that must be tamper-proof (state transitions, approval workflows, computed values), the server logic must validate AND execute the write — not just validate and leave the write to a client-side Web API call. See the Secure Action Principle in the decision framework.
  • AI Web API sits on top of Web API: The Data Summarization and Case-preset endpoints read through the same _api layer as regular Web API, so they inherit the same table permissions, column permissions, and Webapi/<table>/* site settings. When a plan has both a Web API item and an AI Web API item for the same table, the AI item depends on (and goes in a later phase than) the Web API item. Search Summary has no per-table prereqs and can stand alone.
  • Combinations are normal: Many real scenarios need more than one approach. Recommend combinations when justified, but explain why each piece is needed.
  • Route, don't implement: This skill recommends and invokes the right skill(s). It does not create backend files itself.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
