Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| auth_statusA | Show which Power BI authentication mode is configured without exposing tokens. |
| start_device_loginA | Start delegated user device-code login for Power BI REST API. Use only for one-time local setup; service principal is recommended for production. |
| complete_device_loginA | Poll Microsoft for the pending device-code login and cache the token when authorization is complete. |
| list_workspacesA | List all Fabric/Power BI workspaces visible to the authenticated account through the Power BI REST API. Use this first when the user does not provide a workspace name or id. |
| list_semantic_modelsA | List semantic models in My workspace or in a specific workspace by id. Use list_workspaces first to resolve workspace ids. If workspace discovery is not authenticated and the user did not name a workspace, ask the user which workspace to use. |
| get_catalogA | Return all visible workspaces and semantic models via Power BI REST API. This is the preferred tool for open-ended questions such as 'which model should I use?' or 'what workspaces can I access?'. |
| list_semantic_models_in_workspace_via_modeling_mcpA | Use Microsoft powerbi-modeling-mcp/XMLA auth to list semantic models inside a known workspace name. This is a fallback when REST workspace discovery auth is unavailable. The workspace name must be explicit; if it is missing, ask the user instead of guessing. |
| get_known_workspace_catalogA | List semantic models for manually configured POWERBI_KNOWN_WORKSPACES using Microsoft Modeling MCP. Use this for CEO workflows when REST workspace discovery is unavailable. |
| execute_dax_queryA | Execute a DAX query against a Power BI semantic model using default workspace/model when omitted. This keeps the Microsoft Modeling MCP process alive to reduce repeated login prompts. |
| execute_dax_report_queryA | Execute a DAX query against a Power BI semantic model and return both a concise text answer and a self-contained HTML dashboard/report for executive review. Prefer this tool for boss/CEO business questions. |
| execute_dax_dashboard_queryA | Alias for execute_dax_report_query kept for compatibility with earlier dashboard workflows. |
