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_flow to enable
Call run_flow with wait: true and timeout: 30 to 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_flow per flow
Batch delete: Call delete_flow per flow (confirm first)
Batch publish: Call publish_flow per flow

Report per-item success/failure.

3. Inventory Report

Call list_environments to get environments
Call list_flows on 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_history with top: 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_runs to bulk-cancel every Running/Waiting run (uses the

Dataverse bulk action for solution & modern non-solution flows, per-run

fallback otherwise). Pass turnOff: true to also disable the flow while the

root cause is fixed.

After fixing, resubmit_run the affected runs (note: only self-invoked runs

are resubmittable per PA policy).
