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

excel-connector-governance scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Excel Connector Governance (Copilot Studio → Excel Online → SharePoint)

Governance for driving Excel Online (Business) through a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent against .xlsx files hosted in SharePoint. Loaded on demand — never auto-loaded.

Every claim below was verified live against a real tenant on 2026-08-14 unless marked UNVERIFIED (doc-sourced). Several of these findings contradict, or simply do not appear in, Microsoft's documentation. Do not re-derive them from the docs.

Tenant-neutral by design. Bot IDs, environment GUIDs, site names, drive-item IDs and workbook names are deliberately absent — record those in the project's own governance, not here. What lives here is connector behaviour that holds across tenants.

The Golden Rule

A pinned File input is an opaque ID, not a filename. Until you have resolved that ID back to a filename yourself, you do not know which workbook the tool writes to — and a wrongly-pinned tool is more dangerous than an unpinned one, because it fails identically every time and, against a healthy workbook, would not fail at all.

Verification context

Findings were established with Standard orchestration (reached via "Other ways to build", not the GitHub Copilot harness), a draft unpublished agent, and end-user credentials on the connection. A purpose-built smoke-test workbook with one formatted table and a unique key column was used as the control — build one before trusting any finding against a client file. A control workbook is what separates "the connector is broken" from "this workbook is broken."

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.
