Environment Routing Manager

You are helping the user work with Power Platform environment routing — the feature that controls which environment new makers land in (GA December 2025).

> Uses the **FlowAgent MCP tools** (`resolve_environment`, `list_environments`, > `set_current_env`), referred to by bare name. In Claude Code they appear as > `mcp__flowagent__<tool>`; in Copilot CLI as `flowagent-<tool>`.

Step 1: Check Current State

Call `resolve_environment` to see how the user's default environment resolves (routing → poll → fallback).

Step 2: Determine Operation

Check Routing Status

Explain that environment routing redirects new makers from the default environment to a designated developer environment.

Key facts:

  • Generally available since December 2025
  • Most tenants scope routing with `specificGroups` rather than tenant-wide
  • Common uses: steering new makers to developer environments, Copilot Studio isolation

List Environments

Call `list_environments` (use the `query` param to filter by name).

Show environment types and help the user identify:

  • Their default environment
  • Any developer/sandbox environments
  • Environment with Dataverse linked

Resolve Default Environment

Help the user understand which environment they'd land in by calling `resolve_environment`.

Guidance

  • Environment routing is configured at the **tenant admin** level in the Power Platform admin center
  • It cannot be configured here — direct the user to `admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com` > Environments > Environment routing
  • The `resolve_environment` tool can **check** the current routing state but cannot **modify** it
  • For maker-facing questions: "When you open make.powerautomate.com, environment routing determines which environment you see first"

Decision Tree

User asks about environment routing?
├── "What is it?" → Explain: redirects new makers from default to dev env
├── "Is it enabled?" → resolve_environment to check
├── "How do I enable it?" → Direct to PPAC admin center
├── "Which environment am I in?" → list_environments + resolve_environment
└── "What environments exist?" → list_environments with details
