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 | $0.00084 | $0.00674 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00337 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00135 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
Power BI Security 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 8d 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.

Power BI Security Skill
Manage row-level security (RLS) and perspectives for Power BI models.
Prerequisites
pipx install pbi-cli-tool
pbi-cli skills install
pbi connect
Security Roles (RLS)
# List all security roles
pbi security-role list
# Get role details
pbi security-role get "Regional Manager"
# Create a new role
pbi security-role create "Regional Manager" \
--description "Restricts data to user's region"
# Delete a role
pbi security-role delete "Regional Manager"
Perspectives
Perspectives control which tables and columns are visible to users:
# List all perspectives
pbi perspective list
# Create a perspective
pbi perspective create "Sales View"
# Delete a perspective
pbi perspective delete "Sales View"
Workflow: Set Up RLS
# 1. Create roles
pbi security-role create "Sales Team" --description "Sales data only"
pbi security-role create "Finance Team" --description "Finance data only"
# 2. Verify roles were created
pbi --json security-role list
# 3. Export full model for version control (includes roles)
pbi database export-tmdl ./model-backup/
Workflow: Create User-Focused Perspectives
# 1. Create perspectives for different audiences
pbi perspective create "Executive Dashboard"
pbi perspective create "Sales Detail"
pbi perspective create "Finance Overview"
# 2. Verify
pbi --json perspective list
Common RLS Patterns
Region-Based Security
Create a role that filters by the authenticated user's region:
pbi security-role create "Region Filter" \
--description "Users see only their region's data"
Then define table permissions with DAX filter expressions in the model (via TMDL or Power BI Desktop).
Department-Based Security
pbi security-role create "Department Filter" \
--description "Users see only their department's data"
Manager Hierarchy
pbi security-role create "Manager View" \
--description "Managers see their direct reports' data"
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 Security is a skill published in the GitHub repository MinaSaad1/pbi-cli (452 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 674 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.

powerbi-expert
Expert-level Power BI, DAX, M language, data modeling, Power Query, report design, and paginated reports. Use when the user mentions DAX, Power Query, BI, Microsoft platforms, analytics, or data modeling, or when the task involves DAX Fundamentals, Advanced DAX, Row-Level Security, or Report Design.
powerbi-modeling
Power BI semantic models - DAX measures, star schemas, relationships, RLS, and performance tuning via MCP. Use when creating data models, writing DAX, or configuring table relationships in Power BI.
pbi-check-loop
Closes the verify loop for Power BI Desktop development: reloads a .pbip so Desktop re-reads TMDL/PBIR changed on disk, and captures the window so a model can see what rendered. Power BI has no reload command of its own. Use whenever working on a .pbip project - editing measures, TMDL, relationships, M, visual.json…
mcp-engine-dax-performance
Use when a DAX query, measure, or visual is slow, when interpreting analyze timings, Storage Engine / Formula Engine splits, or query plans, when VertiPaq storage size or cardinality drives cost, or when the user wants a tuning pass or before/after benchmark. For wrong values, use mcp-engine-dax-debugging; for writing…
