Powerbi Authoring CLI

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: devops  ·  Last updated:
type:cli
Create, manage, and deploy Power BI semantic models inside Microsoft Fabric workspaces via `az rest` CLI against Fabric and Power BI REST APIs. Use when the user wants to: (1) create a semantic model from TMDL definition files, (2) retrieve or download semantic model definitions, (3) update a semantic model definition with modified TMDL, (4) trigger or manage dataset refresh operations, (5) configure data sources, parameters, or permissions, (6) deploy semantic models between pipeline stages. Covers Fabric Items API (CRUD) and Power BI Datasets API (refresh, data sources, permissions). For read-only DAX queries, use `powerbi-consumption-cli`. For fine-grained modeling changes, route to `powerbi-modeling-mcp`. Triggers: "create semantic model", "upload TMDL", "download semantic model TMDL", "refresh dataset", "semantic model deployment pipeline", "dataset permissions", "list dataset users", "semantic model authoring".
