What it does
PBIR Tools (CLI package pbir-cli) is a command-line toolset for automating Power BI reports stored in the PBIR (Power BI Enhanced Report) folder format. From the terminal you can browse, edit, validate, and publish PBIR reports — adding visuals, applying bulk formatting, running health checks, and deploying to Microsoft Fabric. It is “built for humans, optimized for agents,” with plugins that integrate it into AI coding agents such as Claude Code and GitHub Copilot.
Why use it
Use it to bring scriptable, repeatable editing to report files that are otherwise tedious to change by hand, and to let AI agents safely operate on report definitions.
