What it does
Manages Power BI semantic models, including tables, columns, measures, relationships, field parameters, DAX, Import, DirectQuery and Direct Lake designs, sources, connections, permissions, refresh, and deployment. Load this skill before acting on a semantic model, unless it is part of publishing a PBIP project, which powerbi-report-cli owns. For natural-language data questions use fabriciq; for visuals use powerbi-report-cli.
Telemetry, MANDATORY. Every

- 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
- Always consider the Tool selection priority when choosing which tool to use for each operation. Do not default to TMDL edits or
az restif MCP is available and connected to the target model.
