Power BI Report MCP Server

by jonathan-pap

List Pages

pbir_list_pages
Read-only

List pages in a Power BI report, returning key properties. Optionally embed per-visual summaries for analysis.

Instructions

List pages (paginated). Slim default returns id/displayName/width/height/visualCount/isActive/hidden; slim:false adds displayOption. includeVisuals:true (or pageId) embeds per-visual summaries. Top-level totalVisualCount sums the FULL set, not just the visible slice. For cross-page sweeps prefer one includeVisuals:true call over fanning out per-page pbir_list_visuals.

Behavior4/5

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

Disclosures beyond annotations: totalVisualCount sums full set, slim behavior, and the effect of pageId. No contradictions with readOnlyHint.

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?

Single, well-organized paragraph with no filler. Could benefit from bullet points but remains clear and efficient.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers key behaviors and parameters sufficiently. Output schema exists so return format need not be described. Lacks mention of offset/limit pagination behavior, but parameter constraints are in schema.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Adds context to slim, includeVisuals, and pageId beyond schema descriptions. Explains totalVisualCount and cross-page recommendation. Limit/offset not elaborated but schema provides defaults and limits.

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

Purpose5/5

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

Clearly states the tool lists pages with pagination. Distinguishes from sibling page tools by specifying functionality and parameter effects.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Provides guidance on when to use includeVisuals:true vs. per-page calls, and explains totalVisualCount behavior. However, does not explicitly list when to avoid using this tool.

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