File contents

Fabric CLI Workflow

Use this skill when working with Power BI Service or Microsoft Fabric.

First checks

fab --version

Only inspect an approved workspace or item after the user supplies that scope and the operation is relevant. A version check alone is not service proof.

Path format

WorkspaceName.Workspace/ItemName.ItemType

Examples:

fab ls "Sales.Workspace" -l
fab exists "Sales.Workspace/Sales Model.SemanticModel"
fab open "Sales.Workspace/Sales Report.Report"

Safety

Verify workspace and item before changing it.
Require explicit authorization for import/export overwrite, publish, move, delete, or permission changes. Existing authorization must cover the exact target and operation; local source-edit authority does not cover service writes.
Use -f only when the user accepts the overwrite/sensitivity-label implications.
Record exact commands run.

For any approved data, RLS, permission, or refresh operation, follow the shared data-change boundary with the Fabric workspace/item as the target. A successful authentication, listing, or source edit is not proof of refresh, access, or RLS behavior; report an unrun service check as a gap.
