Reviewer Notes

Power BI has solid REST APIs and OpenAPI documentation, making it moderately discoverable for agent integration. However, account creation requires human interaction (Microsoft 365 signup with verification), and OAuth2/service principal setup is complex. The agent tooling is strong with well-structured API responses for dataset refresh, report embedding, and artifact management, backed by Microsoft's reliable infrastructure. The free tier is limited (1GB capacity, single user), making autonomous agent usage practically challenging without paid workspace licensing.
