// securityCaution

Prompt only, no code
Open source

Summary

The material indicates an open-source, prompt-only skill with no required secrets or declared remote endpoints, so the overall risk is low. Caution is still warranted because it instructs users to add a Teams connector and operate in external Power Apps/Teams environments, which can affect business data and connector permissions.

CredentialsLow risk

The material explicitly states there are no required secrets or environment variables; the skill itself does not directly request tokens. It does rely on existing Teams/Power Apps connections managed by external platforms, but there is no clear sign of credential export or misuse in the documentation.

Network egressCaution

The README points to the Power Apps Connections page and describes sending Teams messages or posting to channels, meaning business content may be transmitted to Microsoft services as part of the stated functionality. No other third-party or unknown endpoints are declared, so this is normal egress for this type of integration.

Code executionCaution

The README includes commands such as `npx power-apps add-data-source` and `npm run build`, indicating normal local development command execution and build steps. There is no evidence of unusually broad system privileges or suspicious commands unrelated to the stated purpose.

Data accessCaution

The material references reading `power.config.json`, inspecting `src/generated/services/TeamsService.ts`, and updating `memory-bank.md`, which implies access to project configuration and generated source files. This scope is consistent with a code-app integration workflow, with no indication of unrelated sensitive directories or excessive access.

Supply chainLow risk

The source is Microsoft's open-source `power-platform-skills` repository on GitHub, making the content auditable; the system also marks it as open-source and prompt-only, which materially lowers supply-chain risk. Still, the repo has 0 stars and unclear license/maintenance status, so users should verify current upkeep before adoption.

Recommendations

Only add the Teams connector when the integration is actually needed, and grant the minimum required permissions.
Before sending messages or channel posts, verify that no sensitive data is being transmitted unnecessarily.
Review the repository contents, dependency locking, and recent commits before running local commands from the README.
In enterprise environments, prefer managed Microsoft accounts, audit logging, and connector governance policies.

Enable Teams messaging

Prompt

Add the Microsoft Teams connector to my Power Apps code app so it can send Teams messages to specific users, and provide the basic setup steps.

Expected

Provides the Teams connector setup details and explains how to send messages to users from the app.

Post channel notifications

Prompt

Integrate the Teams connector into my Power Apps code app so it can automatically post notifications to a Teams channel when task status changes.

Expected

Returns the Teams integration setup for channel posting and explains how to trigger automatic notifications.

Integrate Teams chat workflows

Prompt

Add the Microsoft Teams connector to this Power Apps code app for Teams chat workflows, such as starting chats from the app or syncing conversation data.

Expected

Provides the connector integration result for Teams chat scenarios and describes the available actions.

Add Teams

Workflow

Check Memory Bank → 2. Add Connector → 3. Configure → 4. Build → 5. Update Memory Bank

Step 1: Check Memory Bank

Check for memory-bank.md per shared-instructions.md.

Step 2: Add Connector

First, find the connection ID (see connector-reference.md):

Run the /list-connections skill. Find the Teams connection in the output. If none exists, direct the user to create one using the environment-specific Connections URL — construct it from the active environment ID in context (from power.config.json or a prior step): https://make.powerapps.com/environments/<environment-id>/connections → + New connection → search for the connector → Create.

npx power-apps add-data-source -a teams -c <connection-id>

Step 3: Configure

Ask the user what Teams operations they need (send message, post to channel, etc.).

PostMessageToConversation -- sends a chat message via Flow bot:

await TeamsService.PostMessageToConversation({
  "Post as": "Flow bot",
  "Post in": "Chat with Flow bot",
  "Post message request": {
    recipient: "<recipient-upn-or-id>", // UPN or Entra object ID
    messageBody: "<p>HTML message</p>", // HTML format
    isAlert: false,
    feedbackLoopEnabled: false
  }
});

Use Grep to find specific methods in src/generated/services/TeamsService.ts (generated files can be very large -- see connector-reference.md).

Step 4: Build

npm run build

Fix TypeScript errors before proceeding. Do NOT deploy yet.

Step 5: Update Memory Bank

Update memory-bank.md with: connector added, configured operations, build status.

Add the Excel Online connector to read and write workbook data.
