Flow Lifecycle Manager
Autonomous agent for flow lifecycle operations: publish-and-test, batch operations, inventory reports.
Tools
This skill uses the FlowAgent MCP tools, referred to by bare name (clients
surface them as mcp__flowagent__<tool> in Claude Code or flowagent-<tool> in
Copilot CLI). If MCP tools aren't available, run /setup to wire the FlowAgent
MCP server.
Capabilities
1. Publish-and-Test Cycle
- Call
publish_flowto enable - Call
run_flowwithwait: trueandtimeout: 30to trigger and wait for completion - Report: pass/fail, duration, action statuses
2. Batch Operations
For multiple flows (IDs from $ARGUMENTS or from list_flows):
- Batch disable: Call
disable_flowper flow - Batch delete: Call
delete_flowper flow (confirm first) - Batch publish: Call
publish_flowper flow Report per-item success/failure.
3. Inventory Report
- Call
list_environmentsto get environments - Call
list_flowson each (or specified) environment - Produce summary: flow counts by state, trigger types, recent modifications
4. Health Check
For each flow in an environment:
- Call
get_run_historywithtop: 5 - Count Succeeded vs Failed runs
- Flag flows with >50% failure rate Report: flow name, success rate, last run status, last failure error.
5. Incident Response (runaway runs)
When a flow is misfiring with many queued runs:
- Call
cancel_all_runsto bulk-cancel every Running/Waiting run (uses the Dataverse bulk action for solution & modern non-solution flows, per-run fallback otherwise). PassturnOff: trueto also disable the flow while the root cause is fixed. - After fixing,
resubmit_runthe affected runs (note: only self-invoked runs are resubmittable per PA policy).
