What it does
List Connections is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use to find or create a Power Platform connection ID or reference for an Expo/React Native Power Apps mobile app.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Power Automate, Expo and React Native. 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.
When your agent uses it
- Create a Power Platform connection ID
- Reference for an Expo/React Native Power Apps mobile app
Example prompts
- “/list-connections”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c4b447. 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:
ReadBash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodenpx
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
List Connections loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 509 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash
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.

Plugin check: Run

📋 Shared instructions: shared-instructions.md — read first for cross-cutting concerns (Windows CLI compatibility, memory bank, etc.).
List Connections
App root: before any project read or command, execute
app-working-directory.md.
Reuse the resolved absolute working_dir for every shell call and
file tool, including auth retries and the environment read used for portal URLs.
Forwarded owner context is required for child calls; do not fall back to the
launch directory. Reapply the guard and arguments in each fresh call.
Finds or creates a Power Platform connection with the Power Apps CLI. Returns the Connection ID or Connection Reference that callers feed into pa app add data-source.
Workflow
- Get Connection → 2. Present Results
Step 1 — Get Connection
Telemetry checkpoint: resolve_power_platform_connection
Use one of the supported paths below.
If the caller already provided a connection ID, validate the connector/API ID from context and return it as-is for --connection-id.
Preserve any supplied connection reference as well; do not create a replacement.
Creation requires current approval for the selected environment and connector.
For --plan-only or a planning-phase handoff, perform only permitted read-only
lookup and return missing access/identity to the owner; never create a connection
to unblock discovery. The invocation marker does not grant creation consent.
If the caller provided a connector API ID and needs a new connection, create it from the app root:
Resolve the CLI first (see cli-binary.md): run as
$PA connection create …(npx --no-install pa …), never a barepa. Onpower-apps-only projects, translate topower-apps create-connection --api-id ….
cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
$PA connection create --connector <api-id> --jsonUse the returned connectionId for --connection-id <connectionId>. Optional display names are supported:
cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
$PA connection create --connector <api-id> --display-name '<display-name>' --jsonBrowser-based connection creation is disabled by default. If the connector is not SSO-eligible and the command reports that browser creation is disabled, tell the user to either set POWERAPPS_CLI_ENABLE_BROWSER_CONNECTION=true and rerun the command, or create the connection in the maker portal.

Step 1b — Fetch Connection References When Solution-Aware
If the caller provided a solution ID and needs a connection reference name, list connection references from the app root:
cd -- '<working_dir>' || { echo "BLOCKED: cannot enter working_dir" >&2; exit 1; }
$PA connection list-references --solution-id <solution-id> --jsonIf a matching connection reference exists, return its reference name for --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If pa connection create or pa connection list-references fails because of auth, wrong user, multiple accounts, no output, or timeout, follow shared-instructions command-failure handling and retry once from the same guarded root. A missing app-local CLI is a blocker, not permission to retry without --no-install or install another version.
Other failures:
- Non-zero exit for any reason other than auth: report the exact output. STOP.
Step 2 — Present Results
Show the supported add path. A Connection ID goes into --connection-id <connection-id> when adding a data source. When Step 1b was requested, also show matching connection references; a Connection Reference goes into --connection-ref <connection-ref>.
If the needed connector is missing:
- Share the direct Connections URL using the active environment ID from context (read from
<working_dir>/power.config.jsonenvironmentId):https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections→ + New connection - Search for and create the connector, then complete the sign-in / consent flow
- Rerun
/list-connections <api-id>or provide the portal connection ID so the data-source skill can continue
