Microsoft Fabric Skills is a collection of reusable instructions and MCP systems that help AI assistants work with Microsoft Fabric workloads, APIs, queries, and operations. It is intended for users of GitHub Copilot CLI and compatible coding tools; the catalogue entries are the skills, agents, instructions, MCP systems, plugins, and rules distributed by the project.
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.

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00094 | $0.02260 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00904 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00452 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00226 |
Grade A, and why
search-consumption-cli scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- [COMMON-CLI.md](../../common/COMMON-CLI.md) — CLI implementation (az, curl, jq) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Telemetry — MANDATORY. Every
api.fabric.microsoft.comcall must carryx-ms-fabric-skill: search-consumption-cli(az rest:--headers "x-ms-fabric-skill=search-consumption-cli"), including every LRO poll,fabric_lroand retry. Snippets omit it — add it anyway.
CRITICAL NOTES
- The Catalog Search API finds items, not workspaces. To find a workspace by name, use
GET /v1/workspaces(see COMMON-CLI.md § Resolve Workspace Properties by Name).- The search text matches against item display name, description, and workspace name.
- Dataflow (Gen1) and Dataflow (Gen2) are not supported.

Must/Prefer/Avoid
MUST DO
- Authenticate first — see COMMON-CORE.md § Authentication & Token Acquisition and COMMON-CLI.md § Authentication Recipes. The Catalog Search API requires
Catalog.Read.Allscope. - Write the JSON body to a temp file — avoids shell quoting issues with filter strings.
- Disambiguate — if multiple results match, present display name, type, and workspace name and ask the user to confirm.
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.

search-consumption-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/skills-for-fabric (1,321 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 2,260 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
