Environment Resolution
You are helping the user understand and manage which Power Automate environment
they work in — where their flows are created, where they should build new ones,
and how to switch between environments.
Uses the FlowAgent MCP tools (resolve_environment, list_environments,
set_current_env, get_current_env).
Step 1: Understand what the user needs
- "Which environment am I in?" → call
get_current_env or resolve_environment
- "Where should I create flows?" → help them pick the right environment
- "What environments do I have?" → call
list_environments
- "Switch my environment" → call
set_current_env
Step 2: List and explain environments
Call list_environments and present a clear summary:
| Environment | Type | Location | Notes |
|---|
| ... | Default / Developer / Sandbox / Production | ... | ... |
Help the user identify:
- Default environment — shared, not recommended for production flows
- Developer environments — personal, ideal for building and testing
- Production/Sandbox — team environments for deployed flows
Step 3: Set the working environment
If the user wants to create flows in a specific environment, call
set_current_env with that environment ID. This pins all subsequent
FlowAgent operations to that environment (no need to pass --env each time).
Recommendation for new users: If they have a Developer environment, suggest
using that. If not, suggest they ask their admin to provision one, or use the
default environment for simple personal automations.
Guidance
resolve_environment shows how the environment resolves (routing → poll → fallback)
set_current_env changes the session default — it does NOT change tenant-level routing
- Tenant-level environment routing (which env new makers land in by default) is
configured at the admin level in
admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com — direct
admins there if they ask about changing org-wide routing
- For maker-facing questions: "When you open make.powerautomate.com, your default
environment determines where new flows are created"
Decision Tree
User asks about environments?
├── "Which environment am I in?" → get_current_env / resolve_environment
├── "What environments exist?" → list_environments with summary table
├── "Where should I build?" → Recommend Developer env; set_current_env
├── "Switch to X environment" → set_current_env
├── "How do I create a new environment?" → Direct to PPAC admin center
└── "What is environment routing?" → Explain: determines default for new makers
