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
