Power BI Report MCP Server

by jonathan-pap

Create Page

pbir_create_page

Add new pages to Power BI reports with support for standard, tooltip, and drillthrough types. Configure dimensions, display name, and drillthrough fields for targeted filtering.

Instructions

Create a new page in the report. Supports standard, tooltip, and drillthrough page types.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeNoPage type — tooltip pages are small overlay pages (320x240) hidden from navstandard
widthNoPage width (default 1280, or 320 for tooltip)
heightNoPage height (default 720, or 240 for tooltip)
displayNameYesDisplay name for the page
drillthroughNoDrillthrough field — makes this a drillthrough page filtered by this field
displayOptionNoDisplay option (default FitToPage, or ActualSize for tooltip)
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description states it creates a page, clearly a mutation, but provides no additional behavioral context such as side effects, permissions, or limits (e.g., maximum pages, does it set active page). The description adds the three types, which is helpful, but overall it's minimal for a creation operation with no annotations about destructive hint.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence, front-loaded with the action and key information. No unnecessary words. Could potentially add more detail without being verbose, but it is efficient as is.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 6 parameters, 1 required, and nested objects, the description is relatively brief. It does not mention the return value (no output schema), position of new page, activation behavior, or constraints like unique display name. However, the schema covers parameter descriptions comprehensively, so the description is minimally adequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% description coverage, so the description's role is reduced. The description mentions 'standard, tooltip, and drillthrough page types', but the schema already describes the 'type' parameter and the 'drillthrough' object. The description does not add significant new meaning beyond what is in the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Clearly states 'Create a new page' and lists the supported types (standard, tooltip, drillthrough). This distinguishes it from other page manipulation tools like rename or delete. However, the phrase 'drillthrough page types' could be misinterpreted because drillthrough is not an enum value for the 'type' parameter but a separate property.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance. The description implies it is for creating pages of various types, but doesn't compare to alternatives like pbir_duplicate_page. The usage context is left implicit.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
