dataflows-cli

Agent skill frommicrosoft/skills-for-fabric

Manages Fabric Dataflow Gen2 items, including creation, M editing, connections, output destinations, getDefinition and updateDefinition inspection, executeQuery, refresh history, and Gen1-to-Gen2 save-as upgrades via saveAsNativeArtifact. Use for Dataflow items or Power Query M definitions. For pipeline JSON use pipeline-migration; for Spark or Warehouse transformations use their own skills.

1> **Telemetry — MANDATORY.** Every `api.fabric.microsoft.com` call must carry
2> `x-ms-fabric-skill: dataflows-cli` (`az rest`: `--headers "x-ms-fabric-skill=dataflows-cli"`),

6> 1. To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering
7> 2. To find the item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace and, then, use JMESPath filtering
8> 3. **Skill disambiguation**: use `dataflows-cli` for every Fabric Dataflow Gen2 item and Power Query M concern. Synapse / ADF pipeline and dataset JSON translation is `pipeline-migration`; Spark notebook transformations are `spark-cli`; T-SQL transformations are `sqldw-cli`.

14It is a **mode dispatcher** and contains NO procedures. Pick the mode that matches the request from the table below, then **read the matching `references/<mode>.md` file end to end with your file-reading tool BEFORE issuing a single command**. That file holds the endpoints, payload shapes, templates and gotchas; acting without it produces wrong payloads and wrong results.
