> 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.

> - Claude Code / Cowork / Cursor / Windsurf / Codex: compare local vs remote package.json version.

> - 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

> 3. Eventstream ≠ Eventhouse. Eventstream is a real-time event ingestion and routing pipeline. For KQL queries, use eventhouse-consumption-cli.

List Eventstreams

List All Eventstreams in a Workspace

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

Returns an array of Eventstream items. Use JMESPath to filter by name:

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --query "value[?displayName=='my-eventstream']"

Get Eventstream Details

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

Inspect Eventstream Topology

> Tip: The Topology API (GET .../eventstreams/{id}/topology) returns runtime status, error info, and node IDs without base64 decoding. Prefer it for operational inspection (health checks, connection retrieval). Use POST .../getDefinition (below) when you need the full authoring-time graph structure for topology modification.

Retrieve the Eventstream definition and decode it to inspect the full graph topology.

Step 1: Get the Definition

> API Note: The Eventstream Definition API uses POST .../getDefinition, not GET .../definition. This follows the Fabric Items Definition pattern. See official docs.

az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --body '{}'

Step 2: Decode the Topology

Extract the eventstream.json part's payload field and base64-decode it:

# Using jq + base64 (Linux; on macOS use base64 -D instead of -d)
az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --body '{}' \
  | jq -r '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="eventstream.json") | .payload' \
  | base64 -d | jq .
# PowerShell (Windows)
$def = az rest --method POST `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/getDefinition" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" `
  --body '{}' | ConvertFrom-Json
$payload = ($def.definition.parts | Where-Object { $_.path -eq 'eventstream.json' }).payload
[Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String($payload)) | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10

Step 3: Summarize the Topology

After decoding, count and list each node type:

| Metric | Path in decoded JSON |

|--------|---------------------|

| Sources | .sources[] \| .name, .type |

| Destinations | .destinations[] \| .name, .type |

| Operators | .operators[] \| .name, .type |

| Streams | .streams[] \| .name, .type |


Get Custom Endpoint Connection String

The POST .../getDefinition endpoint returns empty properties for Custom Endpoint sources. To retrieve the Kafka/Event Hub connection info, use the Topology API /connection endpoint.

> Important: This endpoint requires Eventstream.ReadWrite.All permission scope (not just Read).

Step 1: Get the Topology to Find the Source ID

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/topology" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

From the response, find the Custom Endpoint source node and extract its id:

# Extract the sourceId for a Custom Endpoint source (use name filter if multiple exist)
SOURCE_ID=$(az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/topology" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq -r '[.sources[] | select(.type=="CustomEndpoint")] | if length == 0 then error("No Custom Endpoint sources found in this Eventstream") elif length > 1 then error("Multiple Custom Endpoint sources found — filter by .name") else .[0].id end') \
  || { echo "Failed to resolve Custom Endpoint source ID"; exit 1; }

if [ -z "$SOURCE_ID" ]; then echo "SOURCE_ID is empty — check topology output"; exit 1; fi
# PowerShell — extract sourceId for Custom Endpoint (fails clearly if multiple exist)
$topology = az rest --method GET `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/topology" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json
$customSources = @($topology.sources | Where-Object { $_.type -eq 'CustomEndpoint' })
if ($customSources.Count -eq 0) { throw "No Custom Endpoint sources found in this Eventstream" }
if ($customSources.Count -gt 1) { throw "Multiple Custom Endpoint sources found. Filter by name: $($customSources.name -join ', ')" }
$sourceId = $customSources[0].id

Step 2: Get the Connection Details

> ⚠️ Security: This endpoint returns access keys and connection strings. Get explicit user confirmation before calling it. Redact primaryKey, secondaryKey, primaryConnectionString, and secondaryConnectionString from any displayed output unless the user explicitly asks for secret values in a secure context. Avoid logging raw credentials; store securely and rotate as needed.

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/sources/${SOURCE_ID}/connection" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"
az rest --method GET `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/sources/$sourceId/connection" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json

Expected Response

{
  "fullyQualifiedNamespace": "namespace.servicebus.windows.net",
  "eventHubName": "es_<guid>",
  "accessKeys": {
    "primaryKey": "...",
    "secondaryKey": "...",
    "primaryConnectionString": "Endpoint=sb://namespace.servicebus.windows.net/;...",
    "secondaryConnectionString": "..."
  }
}

Kafka Producer Configuration

Use the response to configure a Kafka producer:

| Setting | Value |

|---------|-------|

| bootstrap_servers | {fullyQualifiedNamespace}:9093 |

| topic | {eventHubName} |

| security_protocol | SASL_SSL |

| sasl_mechanism | PLAIN |

| sasl_plain_username | $ConnectionString (fixed literal — not a variable) |

| sasl_plain_password | {primaryConnectionString} |

> Limitation: The /connection endpoint is only supported for Custom Endpoint sources (returns Kafka/Event Hub credentials). Other source types (Event Hub, IoT Hub, etc.) store their connection configuration (e.g., dataConnectionId, consumerGroup) directly in the decoded definition properties.


Validate Eventstream Configuration

Check key configuration aspects of a decoded Eventstream topology:

Source Validation Checklist

| Check | How |

|-------|-----|

| Source type is API-supported | Compare against 25 known type enums |

| Cloud connection exists | Verify dataConnectionId GUID resolves |

| Consumer group set | Required for Event Hub, IoT Hub, Kafka sources |

| Serialization matches source | inputSerialization.type = Json, Csv, or Avro |

Destination Validation Checklist

| Check | How |

|-------|-----|

| Destination type is valid | Must be Lakehouse, Eventhouse, Activator, or CustomEndpoint |

| Target item accessible | Verify workspaceId + itemId resolve via GET |

| Input wired | inputNodes array must not be empty |

| Eventhouse direct ingestion | connectionName and mappingRuleName set |

EventstreamProperties Validation

Decode eventstreamProperties.json and check:

  • retentionTimeInDays is within 1–90
  • eventThroughputLevel is Low, Medium, or High

Gotchas, Rules, Troubleshooting

MUST DO

  • Always pass --resource https://api.fabric.microsoft.com with az rest calls
  • Always use JMESPath filtering to resolve workspace name → ID and item name → ID
  • Always base64-decode the definition payload before inspecting topology (not needed for the Topology API — that returns JSON directly)
  • For Custom Endpoint connection details, use the Topology APIPOST .../getDefinition returns empty properties; call GET .../topology to get the sourceId, then GET .../sources/{sourceId}/connection
  • Use POST for definition endpointsPOST .../getDefinition (not GET), POST .../updateDefinition (not PUT). See official docs.
  • Handle pagination — check for continuationUri in list responses
  • Poll LRO responses — Get Definition may return 202 Accepted

PREFER

  • Decode topology JSON into structured output for readable summaries
  • Use jq (bash) or ConvertFrom-Json (PowerShell) for parsing
  • Validate configurations before reporting issues to users
  • Cross-reference destinations with downstream skills (eventhouse, sqldw, spark)

AVOID

  • Do NOT confuse Eventstream with Eventhouse — they are separate Fabric workloads
  • Do NOT hardcode workspace or item IDs — always discover them via the API
  • Do NOT assume all source types appear in API enums — preview sources exist only in the UI
  • Do NOT modify Eventstream topology with this consumption skill — use eventstream-authoring-cli for writes
  • Do NOT attempt to query event data through the Eventstream API — use downstream skills (eventhouse-consumption-cli, sqldw-consumption-cli) for querying landed data

Examples

> Platform note — examples use PowerShell. Always write the JSON body to

> a temp file via [IO.File]::WriteAllText() (no BOM) and pass

> --body "@$file" to az rest, rather than inline --body "..." which

> cmd.exe can mangle. Use -Compress with ConvertTo-Json to avoid

> newline issues. The one safe inline exception is --body '{}' for empty bodies.

> For large workspaces, check for continuationUri in list responses to handle

> pagination.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/eventstream-consumption-cli from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
