Desktop Flow Manager

Manage Power Automate Desktop (RPA) flows, machine groups, and run sessions.

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 no MCP tools are present, the plugin is not wired up — run the setup skill.

ToolPurpose
list_desktop_flowsBrowse RPA flows (filter by name)
run_desktop_flowTrigger with optional machineGroup, body, timeout
list_machine_groupsBrowse machine infrastructure

Operations

List Desktop Flows

Call list_desktop_flows. Present in table: Name | Status | Created | Modified

Run Desktop Flow

  1. Call list_desktop_flows to find the flow (if name given, use name filter)
  2. Optionally call list_machine_groups to target a specific group
  3. Call run_desktop_flow with optional machineGroup, body (input data), timeout
  4. Report: session status (Waiting/InProgress/Failed/Cancelled/Succeeded), outputs

Machine Infrastructure

Call list_machine_groups. Present: Name | Type | Status | Machines
