add-datasource

A skill for adding Dataverse tables or Power Platform connectors to a Microsoft Code App. Dataverse is Microsoft’s business-data platform, while connectors link an app to services such as SharePoint or SQL.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tables or connectors, verify generated files, create service-layer wrappers, generate React Query hooks, and provide usage examples.
Why use it?
It handles the generated code and application plumbing needed after a data source is added. This reduces the manual work of creating service wrappers and React Query hooks for data operations.

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

add-datasource 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 2d 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.

Add Data Source to Code App

Add Dataverse tables or Power Platform connectors as data sources to your Code App with automatic service layer and hook generation.

Reference

This skill uses official patterns from Microsoft Learn (February 2026). See the codeapps-dataverse and codeapps-connector agents for detailed patterns.

What This Skill Does

  1. Identifies data source type (Dataverse table or connector)
  2. Runs appropriate pac code add-data-source command (PAC CLI 1.46+ for Dataverse, 1.50+ for SharePoint)
  3. Verifies generated files in src/generated/
  4. Creates service layer wrapper with best practices (gen-service)
  5. Generates React Query hooks for data operations (gen-hook)
  6. Provides usage examples

Usage

Add Dataverse Table

/add-datasource dataverse account
/add-datasource dataverse contact
/add-datasource dataverse todos

Add Power Platform Connector

/add-datasource connector shared_office365users [connection-id]
/add-datasource connector shared_sql [connection-id] [table-name] [dataset]
/add-datasource connector shared_sharepointonline [connection-id] [list-name] [site-url]

Let Claude Invoke Automatically

Add the account Dataverse table as a data source
Connect to Office 365 Users
Add SQL Server connection for the Users table

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Data Source Type

Parse arguments to determine:

  • Dataverse: First argument is "dataverse"
  • Connector: First argument is "connector" or an API ID

Step 2: Dataverse Table Flow

2.1: Add Dataverse Table
pac code add-data-source -a dataverse -t $ARGUMENTS[1]

Examples:

pac code add-data-source -a dataverse -t account
pac code add-data-source -a dataverse -t todos
2.2: Verify Generated Files
# Check generated model
ls src/generated/models/*$ARGUMENTS[1]*Model.ts

# Check generated service
ls src/generated/services/*$ARGUMENTS[1]*Service.ts
2.3: Invoke gen-service Skill

Create service layer wrapper:

Use the gen-service skill to create a Dataverse service wrapper for $ARGUMENTS[1]

add-datasource is a skill published in the GitHub repository Ramakrishnan24689/codeapps-toolkit (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 2,648 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
