Route Environments

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks about environment routing
• Developer environments
• New maker landing

Example prompts

• “/route-environments”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, mcp__flowagent__list_environments, mcp__flowagent__set_current_env, mcp__flowagent__get_current_env, mcp__flowagent__resolve_environment, mcp__flowagent__whoami, mcp__flowagent__doctor, mcp__flowagent__reconnect, mcp__flowagent__list_accounts, mcp__flowagent__switch_account

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Check Current State
2. 2Determine Operation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d044b8. 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:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • Write
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • AskUserQuestion
  • mcp__flowagent__list_environments
  • mcp__flowagent__set_current_env
  • mcp__flowagent__get_current_env
  • mcp__flowagent__resolve_environment

  …and 5 more on the same allowed-tools line.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  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

Route Environments loads about 754 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~77

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~754

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

• NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

  allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion, mcp__flowagent__list_environments, mcp__flowagent__s

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.

description

Check Power Platform environment routing status and understand default environment resolution. Use when the user asks about environment routing, developer environments, or new maker landing. Routing is configured in the admin center, not here. NOT for listing flows or managing connections.
