MCP Tool Description (Exact)

Power Automate cloud flows + run history. Modes: no flow_id = list (filtered); flow_id + action='list' = detail + last 5 runs; flow_id + action='runs' = extended run history. For classic (category=0) workflows use get_workflows.

WHEN TO USE:
- List flows by name/owner/status
- Inspect a specific flow + recent runs
- Drill into run history with status_filter (debug failures)

Fuzzy on name_filter / owner_filter: 0/multi → tool returns disambiguation list and stops; AI must ask user. 1 → auto.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
flow_id	string	No	""	GUID. Empty = list. Set: action determines detail vs runs.
action	string	No	"list"	'list' or 'runs'. 'runs' needs flow_id.
name_filter	string	No	""	list only. Name contains.
owner_filter	string	No	""	list only. Owner contains.
status	string	No	"active"	'active' / 'draft' / 'suspended' / 'all'.
status_filter	string	No	""	runs only: succeeded/failed/running/cancelled/waiting/paused/skipped/suspended.
minutes_ago	integer	No	1440	runs only. Max 43200.
max_records	integer	No	50	1–250.
