Inspect existing alerts, notifications, and automated actions in Fabric via read-only REST API calls using `az rest` CLI. **Invoke this skill** whenever the user wants to: (1) list existing alerts in a workspace, (2) inspect how an alert or notification is configured, (3) read and decode an Activator/Reflex definition (ReflexEntities.json), (4) list rules, sources, and actions behind an alert, (5) understand why an alert fires or what action it takes. **Invoke this skill before answering questions** about an Activator/Reflex item in a Fabric workspace — the listing, lookup, and decoding workflows are part of this skill, not preamble to it. Triggers: "show my alerts", "what alerts do I have", "inspect this alert", "show me the rule", "show me the action", "show me the source", "get reflex definition", "list activators", "list alerts", "list reflex items", "show activator items", "activator details", "find activator named"

SKILL.md

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-updates skill (e.g., /fabric-skills:check-updates).
- Claude Code / Cowork / Cursor / Windsurf / Codex: read the local package.json version, then compare it against the remote version via git 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
1. To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering
2. 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

Tool	Purpose	Install
az cli	Fabric REST API calls for reading Activator items and definitions	`winget install Microsoft.AzureCLI`
jq	JSON processing, Base64 decoding, definition inspection	`winget install jqlang.jq`

Connection

Use the shared authentication guidance in COMMON-CLI.md § Authentication Recipes. Resolve workspace and item IDs per COMMON-CLI.md § Finding Workspaces and Items in Fabric. Examples below assume WS_ID and REFLEX_ID are already resolved.

Listing Activator Items

List All Activators in a Workspace

bash

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq '.value[] | {id, displayName, description}'

Required scopes: Workspace.Read.All or Workspace.ReadWrite.All

Paginated Listing

For workspaces with many items, follow the continuationUri returned in each response:

bash

NEXT_URL="https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes"
while [ -n "$NEXT_URL" ]; do
  RESPONSE=$(az rest --method GET \
    --url "$NEXT_URL" \
    --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com")
  echo "$RESPONSE" | jq '.value[] | {id, displayName, description}'
  NEXT_URL=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.continuationUri // empty')
done

Filter by Folder

bash

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes?recursive=true&rootFolderId=${FOLDER_ID}" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq '.value[] | {id, displayName}'

Inspecting a Single Activator

bash

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes/${REFLEX_ID}" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq '{id, displayName, description, type, workspaceId}'

Reading the Definition

getDefinition is a POST (not GET), requires ReadWrite scopes (Reflex.ReadWrite.All or Item.ReadWrite.All) even for read-only inspection, and may return 202 LRO. Use the fabric_lro helper from COMMON-CLI.md § Long-Running Operations (LRO) Pattern so 202 responses can be polled via the Location header before decoding.

Decode the Full Definition

bash

DEFINITION=$(fabric_lro POST \
  "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes/${REFLEX_ID}/getDefinition" \
  '{}')
 
echo "$DEFINITION" \
  | jq '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="ReflexEntities.json") | .payload' -r \
  | base64 -d | jq .

Save Definition to File

bash

DEFINITION=$(fabric_lro POST \
  "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes/${REFLEX_ID}/getDefinition" \
  '{}')
 
echo "$DEFINITION" \
  | jq '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="ReflexEntities.json") | .payload' -r \
  | base64 -d | jq . > reflex-entities.json

Exploring Rules, Sources, and Actions

Once you have the decoded ReflexEntities.json, use jq to extract specific components.

List All Entity Types

bash

cat reflex-entities.json | jq '[.[] | .type] | sort | group_by(.) | map({type: .[0], count: length})'

List Data Sources

bash

cat reflex-entities.json | jq '.[] | select(.type | endswith("Source-v1")) | {name: .payload.name, type: .type, id: .uniqueIdentifier}'

List Rules

bash

cat reflex-entities.json | jq '.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Rule") | {name: .payload.name, id: .uniqueIdentifier, shouldRun: .payload.definition.settings.shouldRun}'

List Objects and Their Attributes

bash

# Objects
cat reflex-entities.json | jq '.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Object") | {name: .payload.name, id: .uniqueIdentifier}'
 
# Attributes for a specific object
OBJECT_ID="<object-guid>"
cat reflex-entities.json | jq --arg oid "$OBJECT_ID" '.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Attribute" and .payload.parentObject.targetUniqueIdentifier == $oid) | {name: .payload.name, id: .uniqueIdentifier}'

Inspect a Rule's Condition

bash

RULE_ID="<rule-guid>"
cat reflex-entities.json \
  | jq --arg rid "$RULE_ID" '.[] | select(.uniqueIdentifier == $rid) | .payload.definition.instance' -r \
  | jq '.steps[] | {step: .name, rows: [.rows[] | .kind]}'

List Actions (Fabric Item Actions)

bash

cat reflex-entities.json | jq '.[] | select(.type == "fabricItemAction-v1") | {name: .payload.name, itemType: .payload.fabricItem.itemType, itemId: .payload.fabricItem.itemId}'

Summary View

Get a high-level overview of an Activator's configuration:

bash

cat reflex-entities.json | jq '{
  containers: [.[] | select(.type == "container-v1") | .payload.name],
  sources: [.[] | select(.type | endswith("Source-v1")) | {name: .payload.name, type: .type}],
  objects: [.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Object") | .payload.name],
  rules: [.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Rule") | {name: .payload.name, active: .payload.definition.settings.shouldRun}],
  actions: [.[] | select(.type == "fabricItemAction-v1") | {name: .payload.name, type: .payload.fabricItem.itemType}]
}'

Must / Prefer / Avoid

MUST DO

Always use `--resource https://api.fabric.microsoft.com` with az rest
Always send `--body '{}'` for getDefinition — it is a POST and omitting the body can cause 411 errors
Handle LRO responses — getDefinition may return 202; poll the Location header
Base64-decode the ReflexEntities.json payload before inspection — it is Base64-encoded in the API response
JSON-parse the definition.instance field in rule entities — it is a JSON-encoded string, not a nested object

PREFER

Summary view first — give users a high-level overview before diving into individual entities
Save to file when the definition is large — decode once and explore with jq locally
Discover IDs dynamically via workspace and item listing + JMESPath filtering
Paginated listing for workspaces with many Activator items

AVOID

Hardcoded workspace or item IDs — always resolve dynamically
Using GET for `getDefinition` — it is a POST endpoint; GET will return 405
Attempting to read definitions of items with encrypted sensitivity labels — it will be blocked
Modifying data — this is a read-only skill; use activator-authoring-cli for write operations

Examples

List All Activators and Show Their Rules

bash

# Step 1: List activators
az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq '.value[] | {id, displayName}'
 
# Step 2: For a specific activator, get and decode its definition
az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes/${REFLEX_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --headers "Content-Type=application/json" \
  --body '{}' \
  | jq '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="ReflexEntities.json") | .payload' -r \
  | base64 -d \
  | jq '.[] | select(.type == "timeSeriesView-v1" and .payload.definition.type == "Rule") | {name: .payload.name, active: .payload.definition.settings.shouldRun}'

Inspect a Specific Rule's Full Configuration

bash

# Decode definition and extract rule details
az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WS_ID}/reflexes/${REFLEX_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --headers "Content-Type=application/json" \
  --body '{}' \
  | jq '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="ReflexEntities.json") | .payload' -r \
  | base64 -d \
  | jq '.[] | select(.payload.name == "Too hot for medicine") | .payload.definition.instance' -r \
  | jq '.steps[] | {step: .name, details: .rows}'
