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

  1. Call publish_flow to enable
  2. Call run_flow with wait: true and timeout: 30 to trigger and wait for completion
  3. 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

  1. Call list_environments to get environments
  2. Call list_flows on each (or specified) environment
  3. Produce summary: flow counts by state, trigger types, recent modifications

4. Health Check

For each flow in an environment:

  1. Call get_run_history with top: 5
  2. Count Succeeded vs Failed runs
  3. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. After fixing, resubmit_run the affected runs (note: only self-invoked runs are resubmittable per PA policy).
