What it does

Telemetry is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill when the user wants to enable, disable, turn on or off, opt out of, opt in to, or check the status of power-automate telemetry / usage data. Triggers: "disable telemetry", "turn off telemetry", "opt out of telemetry", "stop collecting usage data", "enable telemetry", "telemetry status".

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 AI & LLM Engineering. It works with Power Automate and Model Context Protocol. 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

  • The user wants to enable
  • Check the status of power-automate telemetry / usage data

Example prompts

  • “disable telemetry”
  • “turn off telemetry”
  • “opt out of telemetry”
  • “/telemetry”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine the action from the user's request / $ARGUMENTS
  2. Run the bundled config CLI and show its output verbatim
  3. Confirm the result to the user in one sentence.

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:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Telemetry loads about 635 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~635

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.

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.

Power Automate Telemetry Control

Enable, disable, or check the status of pseudonymous usage telemetry for the power-automate plugin.

What is collected

Telemetry is pseudonymous. It records operational fields — skill name, plugin version, OS/Node versions, agent name/version, Dataverse organization and Entra tenant IDs, and the signed-in user's Entra object ID when PAC exposes it. It never includes file paths, prompts, tool inputs, flow names, URLs, credentials, usernames, hostnames, or error messages. Plugin hook events have a local diagnostic log, one file per session, under ~/.power-platform-skills/telemetry/power-automate/sessions/<sessionId>/events.jsonl (nothing is transmitted when telemetry is OFF). Session logs older than 14 days are pruned automatically. This hook log is separate from FlowAgent CLI/MCP telemetry, whose local mirror is ~/.flowagent/telemetry.jsonl by default (FLOWAGENT_TELEMETRY_LOG overrides the path) and is not automatically pruned. The status command below reports the plugin hook's setting and session logs; it also prints the core log's path and whether the file exists, not whether a particular CLI/MCP call is eligible for remote collection.

Workflow

  1. Determine the action from the user's request / $ARGUMENTS:

    • on — opt in
    • off — opt out (nothing transmitted; local log still kept)
    • status (default) — report current state
  2. Run the bundled config CLI and show its output verbatim:

    bash
    node "${PLUGIN_ROOT:-$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/telemetry/lib/telemetry-config.js" --action <on|off|status> --plugin power-automate

    For status, also show the FlowAgent CLI/MCP local log location:

    bash
    node -e 'const fs = require("node:fs"); const os = require("node:os"); const path = require("node:path"); const log = process.env.FLOWAGENT_TELEMETRY_LOG || path.join(os.homedir(), ".flowagent", "telemetry.jsonl"); console.log(`FlowAgent CLI/MCP local log: ${log}${fs.existsSync(log) ? "" : " (not created yet)"}`);'
  3. Confirm the result to the user in one sentence.

Telemetry is an agent skill from microsoft/power-platform-skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill when the user wants to enable, disable, turn on or off, opt out of, opt in to, or check the status of power-automate telemetry / usage data.

When should I use Telemetry?

Telemetry fits situations like: the user wants to enable; check the status of power-automate telemetry / usage data.

How do I install Telemetry in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill telemetry -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/power-automate/skills/telemetry in microsoft/power-platform-skills) into .claude/skills/telemetry in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Telemetry in Codex?

Run `npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill telemetry -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/power-automate/skills/telemetry in microsoft/power-platform-skills) into .agents/skills/telemetry in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Telemetry in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/power-platform-skills --skill telemetry -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/telemetry, .gemini/skills/telemetry, .github/skills/telemetry and .opencode/skills/telemetry in your project.

What does Telemetry need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Telemetry needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash.

Does Telemetry access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Telemetry safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Telemetry use?

Telemetry is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Telemetry use?

About 635 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Telemetry?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Telemetry: Erp Xpp (microsoft/Dataverse-skills, 241 stars), Dv Metadata (microsoft/Dataverse-skills, 241 stars), Dv Security (microsoft/Dataverse-skills, 241 stars) and Microsoft Docs (microsoft/ai-agents-for-beginners, 77k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
