Report that the MCP server is up and configuration loaded correctly.

Useful as a first call from any MCP client (VS Code, Claude Code) to confirm the server started, before any Azure-dependent tools exist.

Verify Azure Service Principal credentials by acquiring a real ARM token.

Makes no Azure Data Factory calls - it only proves auth is configured correctly (tenant/client/secret valid, SPN enabled) before any ADF connectivity exists. Run this after health_check and before Step 3.

List all Data Factory instances the configured Service Principal can see.

Returns each factory's resource_group, which every other ADF tool below requires as an input - call this first.

Get details for a single Data Factory instance.

List pipelines in a factory with a lightweight activity summary (count and names only - use get_pipeline for full detail on one).

Get a single pipeline's activity list.

List pipeline runs in a time window (default: last 24 hours).

Time values are ISO 8601 strings, e.g. "2026-08-22T00:00:00Z". Narrow results with pipeline_name and/or status (e.g. "Failed", "Succeeded", "InProgress"). Run messages are truncated to 500 chars here - use get_pipeline_run with a run_id from this result for full detail.

Get full, untruncated detail for a single pipeline run.

Get run_id from list_pipeline_runs first.

List every activity run within a pipeline run, each with error detail populated if it failed. Time window defaults to the last 7 days. Get run_id from list_pipeline_runs first.

RCA convenience tool: returns only the activities that failed within a pipeline run, each with error_code/message/failure_type already extracted. Prefer this over list_activity_runs when you just need "what went wrong" rather than the full activity list.

List every trigger in a factory with its current runtime state (Started/Stopped).

Get a single trigger's current runtime state. A stopped trigger is a common silent cause of "why didn't this pipeline run today" - the pipeline simply was never invoked, so pipeline-run history alone won't show it.

List trigger firing history (default: last 7 days). Omit trigger_name to see every trigger's runs, or narrow to one; filter by status (e.g. "Succeeded", "Failed") to spot triggers that fired but errored.
