Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

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:
``bash node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/chat-with-agent.bundle.js --detect-only $ARGUMENTS ``
If the agent is not at the project root, pass --agent-dir .
- Parse the JSON output from stdout:
### DirectLine mode (authenticationmode 1 or 3) ``json { "status": "ok", "mode": "directline", "authenticationmode": 1, "tokenEndpoint": "https://...", "schemaName": "..." } ` The agent uses **no authentication** or **manual authentication**. No user credentials needed. The tokenEndpoint is ready to use with /copilot-studio:chat-directline`.
### M365 mode (authenticationmode 2) ``json { "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.
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Resolution | |-------|-------|------------| | No agent.mcs.yml found | No agent in workspace | Clone the agent first | | No .mcs/conn.json found | Agent not cloned via VS Code extension | Clone with the extension | | Could not detect authentication mode | No cached Dataverse token | Run a push/pull first to cache tokens, or ask the user about their auth config |
