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

powerbi-fabric-cli 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.

Fabric CLI

Guidance for using fab to programmatically manage Fabric & Power BI service

  • Install via uv tool install ms-fabric-cli (get uv via winget install uv or brew install uv)
  • Fabric CLI is for working with the Cloud environment and not local files; it works with Power BI Pro, PPU, or Fabric; you DO NOT need a Fabric SKU to use the Fabric CLI
  • Target version: ≥ 1.6.1. Older versions lack fab find, the interactive REPL, --format on export, fab deploy, and several item types. Run fab --version to confirm. Key version deltas in Fab CLI version history below.

[!IMPORTANT] Any time you encounter errors, user preferences or learnings when using the Fabric cli, ALWAYS note these down in the user memory rules, i.e. .claude/rules/fabric-cli.md for future improvement. This is ONLY for generic learnings and not for item- or task-specific learnings.

When to use this skill

  • Use whenever the user mentions "Fabric" or "Power BI"
  • Use when user asks about Power BI workspaces, deployment, tenants, publishing, download, permissions, or data

Critical general rules

  • IMPORTANT: The first time you use fab run check that it is up to date to the latest version and run fab auth status; If user isn't authenticated, ask them to run fab auth login
  • Always use fab --help and fab <command> --help the first time you use a command to understand its syntax
  • You must search the skill /references/ for relevant reference files that explain certain commands, examples, scripts, or workflows before you start using fab
  • Before first use, ask the user if they have Fabric admin access, sensitivity labels or DLP policies, any API restrictions, or preferences for Fabric/Power BI API usage; remind user to add this to memory files
  • If workspace or item name is unclear, ask the user first, then verify with fab ls or fab exists before proceeding
  • Ensure that you avoid removing or moving items, workspaces, or definitions, or changing properties without explicit user direction
  • If a command is blocked in your permissions and you try to use it, stop and ask the user for clarification; never try to circumvent it
  • Create output directories before export: fab export does not create intermediate directories; mkdir -p the output path first or the command fails with [InvalidPath]
