What it does

Add Mcscopilot is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Adds Microsoft Copilot Studio connector to a Power Apps code app. Use when invoking Copilot Studio agents, sending prompts to agents, or integrating agent responses.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent memory. It works with Microsoft Copilot Studio and Power Automate. The repository describes itself as: A plugin marketplace for GitHub Copilot and other AI agents that provides Power Platform development plugins, including reusable skills, agents, and commands for building and… The licence is MIT.

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash, LSP, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet, AskUserQuestion, Skill

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Check Memory Bank
Add Connector
Configure

Update Memory Bank

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ef4e4f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Edit
- Write
- Grep
- Glob
- Bash
- LSP
- TaskCreate
- TaskUpdate
- TaskList
…and 3 more on the same allowed-tools line.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- make.powerapps.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Add Mcscopilot loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Add Microsoft Copilot Studio

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Configure → 4. Build → 5. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Microsoft Copilot Studio connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

bash

pa app add data-source --connector microsoftcopilotstudio -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Configure

Ask the user which Copilot Studio agent they want to invoke and what operations they need.

Agent Setup Prerequisites (manual steps the user must complete in Copilot Studio):

Publish the agent: In Copilot Studio, click Channels → select Teams → add to Teams → click Publish.
Get the agent name: Under Channels, click "Web app". The connection string URL contains the agent name. Example: https://...api.powerplatform.com/copilotstudio/dataverse-backed/authenticated/bots/cr3e1_myAgent/conversations?... — the agent name is cr3e1_myAgent.

ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 -- execute an agent and wait for the response:

Use the ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2 operation (path: /proactivecopilot/executeAsyncV2). This is the only endpoint that reliably returns agent responses synchronously. It is the same endpoint used by Power Automate's "Execute Agent and wait" action.

typescript

const result = await MicrosoftCopilotStudioService.ExecuteCopilotAsyncV2({
  message: "Your prompt or data here", // Can be a JSON string
  notificationUrl: "https://notificationurlplaceholder" // Required by API but unused; any URL works
});

// Response structure:
// result.responses — Array of response strings from the agent
// result.conversationId — The conversation ID
// result.lastResponse — The last response from the agent
// result.completed — Boolean indicating if the agent finished

Important: Agents often return responses as JSON strings. Parse the responses array to extract meaningful data:

typescript

const agentResponse = result.responses?.[0];
if (agentResponse) {
  const parsed = JSON.parse(agentResponse);
  // Extract specific fields, e.g., parsed.trend_summary
}

Use Grep to find specific methods in the generated service file (generated files can be very large — see connector-reference.md).

Known Issues

ExecuteCopilot (/execute) -- fire-and-forget, only returns ConversationId, not the actual response. Do NOT use this.
ExecuteCopilotAsync (/executeAsync) -- returns 502 "Cannot read server response" errors. Do NOT use this.
Conversation turn model (/conversations/{ConversationId}) -- only works after /execute, which doesn't provide responses. Do NOT use this.
Response casing varies -- check all variations: conversationId, ConversationId, conversationID.

Step 4: Build

bash

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 5: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, agent name configured, configured operations, build status.
