Skill body
Detect Agent Authentication Mode
Query the Dataverse bots entity to determine whether the agent uses DirectLine (no auth / manual auth) or the Copilot Studio SDK (integrated auth / Entra ID SSO).
Instructions
-
Run the detect-only command:
node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/chat-with-agent.bundle.js --detect-only $ARGUMENTSIf the agent is not at the project root, pass
--agent-dir <path>. -
Parse the JSON output from stdout:
DirectLine mode (authenticationmode 1 or 3)
{ "status": "ok", "mode": "directline", "authenticationmode": 1, "tokenEndpoint": "https://...", "schemaName": "..." }The agent uses no authentication or manual authentication. No user credentials needed. The
tokenEndpointis ready to use with/copilot-studio:chat-directline.M365 mode (authenticationmode 2)
{ "status": "ok", "mode": "m365", "authenticationmode": 2, "schemaName": "..." }The agent uses integrated authentication (Entra ID SSO). An App Registration Client ID is needed for
/copilot-studio:chat-sdk. -
Return the result to the caller. Do not proceed to chat — that is a separate step.
