Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00102 | $0.00295 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00148 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00059 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
powerbi-connect 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 11d 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.
What it actually says
Skill: Connect to Power BI Desktop
Trigger
Activate when the user wants to connect to Power BI Desktop, mentions "connect", "pbi connect", "local instance", "no connection", or cannot run DAX/model commands.
Steps
- Make sure Power BI Desktop is open with a .pbix file
- Run:
pbi-agent connect --listto see open instances - Run:
pbi-agent connectto connect to the first detected instance - Run:
pbi-agent doctorto diagnose if connection fails
Common Issues
- No instances found: Power BI Desktop not open, or open without a file loaded
- pythonnet error: Run
pip install powerbi-agent[desktop] - Port in use: Use
pbi-agent connect --port <port>to specify manually
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.

powerbi-connect is a skill published in the GitHub repository santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent (2 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 295 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.

seshat-bi
Route a BI project through Seshat BI's governed seven-stage readiness flow. Use when a user asks to inspect a retail source, initialize a Seshat project, find the truthful next action, validate readiness evidence, or stop at the correct human approval gate.
Data Retention Schedule Review
Use when reviewing a draft or existing data retention schedule to inventory data categories against stated purposes, collect retention-period facts, flag legal-hold interactions, and surface orphaned-data and vendor-coverage gaps for attorney review.
powerbi-workflows
Route guarded Power BI work -- design, native report authoring, semantic-model operations, published queries, QA, bounded formatting, and PBIP adoption -- to the correct Seshat or official Microsoft surface under Seshat BI's gates.
dbt-workflows
Route dbt intent to Seshat's governed shadow workflow or the official dbt Labs competence and execution owner, without bypassing readiness or evidence.
dagster-workflows
Route Dagster intent to Seshat's governed medallion workflow or the official Dagster competence owner without bypassing readiness, approvals, or evidence.
pbi-mcp-doctor
Use when a user asks whether or how to wire Microsoft's official Power BI MCP servers into a Seshat BI workspace: run the read-only environment doctor, map a task to the governed Power BI surface (including the official report-authoring skill), generate a safe read-only config template, or run the mocked read-only…
