Create Fabric alerts, notifications, and event-driven automated actions.
The material indicates this is primarily a Fabric/CLI authoring guide with a relatively low overall risk profile, backed by a Microsoft GitHub open-source repository and some community adoption. Based on the provided facts, it is closer to a prompt-oriented skill, but its documentation includes remote update-check and external CLI/API usage guidance, so users should still watch actual execution boundaries.
The material states no required secrets or environment variables. While the README references shared `az login` and token acquisition guidance, it does not show this skill requiring standalone third-party credentials, so direct credential exposure appears limited.
The system metadata says no remote endpoints, but the README explicitly includes remote update-check guidance (such as the GitHub API or `git fetch origin main`), and the description involves Fabric REST API/`az rest` interactions with service-related cloud endpoints. This is normal network behavior for such a skill, but users should ensure no data is sent to unrelated endpoints.
As a skill document, it is closer to prompt-only content; however, the README instructs running local CLI commands (such as `git fetch`, `git show`, and `az rest`), so if the host follows those instructions, it has normal local command-execution capability. No clearly excessive system permissions are evident from the material.
The documentation asks to read local `package.json` for version comparison and to query/modify Fabric workspaces, items, and alert definitions. This implies access to limited local files and the user's relevant Fabric resources. Based on the material, the access scope is broadly consistent with the stated functionality, with no obvious signs of overbroad authorization.
The source is a Microsoft GitHub open-source repository, with the system marking it as open-source and about 420 stars, which provides some auditability and community trust—both positive factors that lower risk. The missing license declaration and unknown maintenance status are worth noting, but they do not by themselves justify a high-risk rating.
Copy the install command and let the AI configure it · recommended for beginners
Please install the "activator-authoring-cli" skill from askskill: 1. Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/skills-for-fabric/main/skills/activator-authoring-cli/SKILL.md 2. Save it as ~/.claude/skills/activator-authoring-cli/SKILL.md 3. Reload skills and tell me it's ready
Help me create a Microsoft Fabric Activator alert: when the order failure rate in Eventhouse exceeds 3% within 5 minutes, send a message to a Teams channel including the failure rate, time window, and data source name. Please provide the required configuration steps and executable commands.
Provides the alert design, trigger conditions, action setup, and executable REST API or az rest command examples.
Please help me modify an existing Fabric Reflex rule: change the email notification threshold from inventory below 20 to below 50, and add an action to run a specified Fabric pipeline when triggered. Explain which fields need updating and provide the commands.
Provides the rule update plan, revised condition and action definitions, and example API calls to update the rule.
My Fabric Activator alert did not trigger as expected. Please help me troubleshoot it: check the event source connection, filter conditions, threshold settings, notification actions, and related configuration, then provide fixes and validation steps.
Provides a step-by-step troubleshooting checklist, likely causes, fix commands or configuration recommendations, and ways to verify the alert works again.
Update Check — ONCE PER SESSION (mandatory) The first time this skill is used in a session, run the check-updates skill before proceeding.
- GitHub Copilot CLI / VS Code: invoke the
check-updatesskill (e.g.,/fabric-skills:check-updates).- Claude Code / Cowork / Cursor / Windsurf / Codex: read the local
package.jsonversion, then compare it against the remote version viagit fetch origin main --quiet && git show origin/main:package.json(or the GitHub API). If the remote version is newer, show the changelog and update instructions.- Skip if the check was already performed earlier in this session.
CRITICAL NOTES
- To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering
- To find the item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace and, then, use JMESPath filtering
