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.

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 | $0.00083 | $0.00865 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00346 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
Power BI Documentation 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 1mo 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pbi connect
Quick Model Overview
pbi --json model get # Model metadata
pbi --json model stats # Table/measure/column counts
Catalog All Objects
# Tables and their structure
pbi --json table list
pbi --json table get Sales
pbi --json table schema Sales
# All measures
pbi --json measure list
# Individual measure details
pbi --json measure get "Total Revenue" --table Sales
# Columns per table
pbi --json column list --table Sales
pbi --json column list --table Products
# Relationships
pbi --json relationship list
# Security roles
pbi --json security-role list
# Hierarchies
pbi --json hierarchy list --table Date
# Calculation groups
pbi --json calc-group list
# Perspectives
pbi --json perspective list
# Named expressions (M queries)
pbi --json expression list
# Partitions
pbi --json partition list --table Sales
# Calendar/date tables
pbi --json calendar list
Export Full Model as TMDL
pbi database export-tmdl ./model-docs/
This creates a human-readable text representation of the entire model.
Workflow: Generate Model Documentation
Run these commands to gather all information needed for documentation:
# Step 1: Model overview
pbi --json model get > model-meta.json
pbi --json model stats > model-stats.json
# Step 2: All tables
pbi --json table list > tables.json
# Step 3: All measures
pbi --json measure list > measures.json
# Step 4: All relationships
pbi --json relationship list > relationships.json
# Step 5: Security roles
pbi --json security-role list > security-roles.json
# Step 6: Column details per table (loop through tables)
pbi --json column list --table Sales > columns-sales.json
pbi --json column list --table Products > columns-products.json
# Step 7: Full TMDL export
pbi database export-tmdl ./tmdl-export/
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.

Power BI Documentation is a skill published in the GitHub repository MinaSaad1/pbi-cli (474 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 865 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
