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 | $0.00151 | $0.02051 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00060 | $0.00820 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00410 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00205 |
Grade A, and why
powerbi-te-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 16d 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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Tabular Editor CLI (te)
te is a single self-contained binary that runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, built on the
same engine as Tabular Editor 3. It is the first way to do real semantic-model work — BPA,
deploy, refresh, VertiPaq analysis, assertion tests — from a Linux CI runner without a
Windows agent and without .NET Framework.
Three different products, do not confuse them:
| Tool | Executable | Platform | This skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tabular Editor 2 | TabularEditor.exe |
Windows only, free | no — powerbi-te2-cli |
| Tabular Editor 3 | TabularEditor3.exe |
Windows GUI, licensed | no — see powerbi-te-docs |
| Tabular Editor CLI | te |
Windows / macOS / Linux | yes |
Flags and scripts are not portable between them. A TE2 invocation (-A, -D, -S, -B)
will not work here; te uses verb-based subcommands.
Status — check this first
te is in Limited Public Preview. During the preview no licence is required, only a
Tabular Editor account — but the preview build stops working after 2026-10-31, and
licensing will be required at general availability.
Consequences to state before anyone builds on it:
- A pipeline that depends on
tewill break at the preview cutoff unless the binary is refreshed. Do not put it on the critical path of a release train without a fallback. - The fallback is
powerbi-te2-cli(free, Windows, stable) or an XMLA/TOM path viapbi-agent model. - Pin the downloaded version and record it, so a CI failure is diagnosable as a version change rather than a model change.
Setup
- Register or sign in at tabulareditor.com, then download the binary for the platform.
te auth login— interactive device-code sign-in to Power BI / Fabric.te --helpandte <command> --help— do this before first use of any command.
The surface is moving during preview. Read the installed binary's help rather than trusting any written reference, including this one. Where help and this file disagree, help wins.
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-te-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository santoshkanthety/powerbi-agent (3 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 2,051 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-10-07.
