Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| pbi_catalog_summaryA | Return high-level counts of scanned Power BI workspaces, semantic models, reports, dataflows, and source connectors. |
| pbi_list_modelsB | List documented Power BI semantic models with workspace, refresh status, source connectors, table/measure counts, and health warnings. |
| pbi_inspect_modelB | Return full architecture blueprint of a semantic model: tables, storage modes, relationships, RLS roles, DAX measures, and health findings. |
| pbi_search_dax_and_mB | Search across all DAX measures, calculated columns, and Power Query M scripts in the catalog. |
| pbi_source_impactA | Perform end-to-end impact analysis for an upstream database, server, view, SharePoint site, or table name: returns every affected Power BI table, semantic model, DAX measure, and downstream report. |
| pbi_measure_lineageA | Return full upstream (referenced columns and base measures) and downstream (dependent KPIs and reports) lineage for a DAX measure. |
| pbi_health_auditC | Return governance, refresh, performance, and architecture findings across all scanned Power BI models. |
| pbi_generate_portalB | Regenerate the offline HTML Documentation & Live Lineage Portal from the local catalog store. |

TDQS
Scored across 8 tools
Each tool has a reasonably distinct job: catalog_summary gives counts, list_models enumerates models, and inspect_model drills into one model's blueprint. The only fuzzy pairs are list_models vs inspect_model (depth vs enumeration) and measure_lineage vs source_impact (both lineage, but scoped to measures vs upstream sources), and the descriptions clarify both well enough.
All names are snake_case with a uniform pbi_ prefix and use domain vocabulary consistently. There is a minor deviation between verb-first names (pbi_list_models, pbi_inspect_model, pbi_generate_portal) and noun-first names (pbi_catalog_summary, pbi_measure_lineage, pbi_health_audit, pbi_source_impact), but the pattern remains readable and predictable.
Eight tools is a well-scoped set for a Power BI documentation/lineage server, with each tool covering a distinct read or generate capability. Nothing feels redundant or padded.
The surface covers discovery, inspection, DAX/M search, lineage, impact analysis, health auditing, and portal generation, which is strong coverage for documentation workflows. Minor gaps exist: no standalone report or workspace listing (reports appear only as downstream entities), no per-model export, and no tool to trigger a catalog scan/refresh.
