CRITICAL NOTES

  1. To find the workspace details (including its ID) from workspace name: list all workspaces and, then, use JMESPath filtering
  2. To find the item details (including its ID) from workspace ID, item type, and item name: list all items of that type in that workspace and, then, use JMESPath filtering
  3. Eventstream ≠ Eventhouse. Eventstream is a real-time event ingestion and routing pipeline. For KQL queries, use eventhouse-consumption-cli.

List Eventstreams

List All Eventstreams in a Workspace

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

Returns an array of Eventstream items. Use JMESPath to filter by name:

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --query "value[?displayName=='my-eventstream']"

Get Eventstream Details

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

Inspect Eventstream Topology

Tip: The Topology API (GET .../eventstreams/{id}/topology) returns runtime status, error info, and node IDs without base64 decoding. Prefer it for operational inspection (health checks, connection retrieval). Use POST .../getDefinition (below) when you need the full authoring-time graph structure for topology modification.

Retrieve the Eventstream definition and decode it to inspect the full graph topology.

Step 1: Get the Definition

API Note: The Eventstream Definition API uses POST .../getDefinition, not GET .../definition. This follows the Fabric Items Definition pattern. See official docs.

az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --body '{}'

Step 2: Decode the Topology

Extract the eventstream.json part's payload field and base64-decode it:

# Using jq + base64 (Linux; on macOS use base64 -D instead of -d)
az rest --method POST \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/getDefinition" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  --body '{}' \
  | jq -r '.definition.parts[] | select(.path=="eventstream.json") | .payload' \
  | base64 -d | jq .
# PowerShell (Windows)
$def = az rest --method POST `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/getDefinition" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" `
  --body '{}' | ConvertFrom-Json
$payload = ($def.definition.parts | Where-Object { $_.path -eq 'eventstream.json' }).payload
[Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetString([Convert]::FromBase64String($payload)) | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10

Step 3: Summarize the Topology

After decoding, count and list each node type:

MetricPath in decoded JSON
Sources.sources[] | .name, .type
Destinations.destinations[] | .name, .type
Operators.operators[] | .name, .type
Streams.streams[] | .name, .type

Get Custom Endpoint Connection String

The POST .../getDefinition endpoint returns empty properties for Custom Endpoint sources. To retrieve the Kafka/Event Hub connection info, use the Topology API /connection endpoint.

Important: This endpoint requires Eventstream.ReadWrite.All permission scope (not just Read).

Step 1: Get the Topology to Find the Source ID

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/topology" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"

From the response, find the Custom Endpoint source node and extract its id:

# Extract the sourceId for a Custom Endpoint source (use name filter if multiple exist)
SOURCE_ID=$(az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/topology" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" \
  | jq -r '[.sources[] | select(.type=="CustomEndpoint")] | if length == 0 then error("No Custom Endpoint sources found in this Eventstream") elif length > 1 then error("Multiple Custom Endpoint sources found — filter by .name") else .[0].id end') \
  || { echo "Failed to resolve Custom Endpoint source ID"; exit 1; }

if [ -z "$SOURCE_ID" ]; then echo "SOURCE_ID is empty — check topology output"; exit 1; fi
# PowerShell — extract sourceId for Custom Endpoint (fails clearly if multiple exist)
$topology = az rest --method GET `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/topology" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json
$customSources = @($topology.sources | Where-Object { $_.type -eq 'CustomEndpoint' })
if ($customSources.Count -eq 0) { throw "No Custom Endpoint sources found in this Eventstream" }
if ($customSources.Count -gt 1) { throw "Multiple Custom Endpoint sources found. Filter by name: $($customSources.name -join ', ')" }
$sourceId = $customSources[0].id

Step 2: Get the Connection Details

⚠️ Security: This endpoint returns access keys and connection strings. Get explicit user confirmation before calling it. Redact primaryKey, secondaryKey, primaryConnectionString, and secondaryConnectionString from any displayed output unless the user explicitly asks for secret values in a secure context. Avoid logging raw credentials; store securely and rotate as needed.

az rest --method GET \
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/${WORKSPACE_ID}/eventstreams/${EVENTSTREAM_ID}/sources/${SOURCE_ID}/connection" \
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com"
az rest --method GET `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$WORKSPACE_ID/eventstreams/$EVENTSTREAM_ID/sources/$sourceId/connection" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json

Expected Response

{
  "fullyQualifiedNamespace": "namespace.servicebus.windows.net",
  "eventHubName": "es_<guid>",
  "accessKeys": {
    "primaryKey": "...",
    "secondaryKey": "...",
    "primaryConnectionString": "Endpoint=sb://namespace.servicebus.windows.net/;...",
    "secondaryConnectionString": "..."
  }
}

Kafka Producer Configuration

Use the response to configure a Kafka producer:

SettingValue
bootstrap_servers{fullyQualifiedNamespace}:9093
topic{eventHubName}
security_protocolSASL_SSL
sasl_mechanismPLAIN
sasl_plain_username$ConnectionString (fixed literal — not a variable)
sasl_plain_password{primaryConnectionString}

Limitation: The /connection endpoint is only supported for Custom Endpoint sources (returns Kafka/Event Hub credentials). Other source types (Event Hub, IoT Hub, etc.) store their connection configuration (e.g., dataConnectionId, consumerGroup) directly in the decoded definition properties.


Validate Eventstream Configuration

Check key configuration aspects of a decoded Eventstream topology:

Source Validation Checklist

CheckHow
Source type is API-supportedCompare against 25 known type enums
Cloud connection existsVerify dataConnectionId GUID resolves
Consumer group setRequired for Event Hub, IoT Hub, Kafka sources
Serialization matches sourceinputSerialization.type = Json, Csv, or Avro

Destination Validation Checklist

CheckHow
Destination type is validMust be Lakehouse, Eventhouse, Activator, or CustomEndpoint
Target item accessibleVerify workspaceId + itemId resolve via GET
Input wiredinputNodes array must not be empty
Eventhouse direct ingestionconnectionName and mappingRuleName set

EventstreamProperties Validation

Decode eventstreamProperties.json and check:

  • retentionTimeInDays is within 1–90
  • eventThroughputLevel is Low, Medium, or High

Gotchas, Rules, Troubleshooting

MUST DO

  • Always pass --resource https://api.fabric.microsoft.com with az rest calls
  • Always use JMESPath filtering to resolve workspace name → ID and item name → ID
  • Always base64-decode the definition payload before inspecting topology (not needed for the Topology API — that returns JSON directly)
  • For Custom Endpoint connection details, use the Topology API — POST .../getDefinition returns empty properties; call GET .../topology to get the sourceId, then GET .../sources/{sourceId}/connection
  • Use POST for definition endpoints — POST .../getDefinition (not GET), POST .../updateDefinition (not PUT). See official docs.
  • Handle pagination — check for continuationUri in list responses
  • Poll LRO responses — Get Definition may return 202 Accepted

PREFER

  • Decode topology JSON into structured output for readable summaries
  • Use jq (bash) or ConvertFrom-Json (PowerShell) for parsing
  • Validate configurations before reporting issues to users
  • Cross-reference destinations with downstream skills (eventhouse, sqldw, spark)

AVOID

  • Do NOT confuse Eventstream with Eventhouse — they are separate Fabric workloads
  • Do NOT hardcode workspace or item IDs — always discover them via the API
  • Do NOT assume all source types appear in API enums — preview sources exist only in the UI
  • Do NOT modify Eventstream topology with this consumption skill — use eventstream-authoring-cli for writes
  • Do NOT attempt to query event data through the Eventstream API — use downstream skills (eventhouse-consumption-cli, sqldw-consumption-cli) for querying landed data

Examples

Platform note — examples use PowerShell. Always write the JSON body to a temp file via [IO.File]::WriteAllText() (no BOM) and pass --body "@$file" to az rest, rather than inline --body "..." which cmd.exe can mangle. Use -Compress with ConvertTo-Json to avoid newline issues. The one safe inline exception is --body '{}' for empty bodies. For large workspaces, check for continuationUri in list responses to handle pagination.

Example 1: List All Eventstreams in a Workspace

Prompt: "List all Eventstreams in my analytics workspace showing their names and IDs."

# 1. Discover workspace ID
$wsId = (az rest --method get `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" `
  --query "value[?displayName=='analytics'] | [0].id" -o tsv)
if (-not $wsId) { throw "Workspace 'analytics' not found" }

# 2. List Eventstreams (handles pagination)
$allItems = @()
$resp = az rest --method get `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$wsId/eventstreams" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json
$allItems += $resp.value
while ($resp.continuationUri) {
    $resp = az rest --method get `
      --url $resp.continuationUri `
      --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json
    $allItems += $resp.value
}
$allItems | Select-Object displayName, id, description | Format-Table

Example 2: Inspect Eventstream Topology

Prompt: "Show me the topology of my SensorIngestion Eventstream — all sources, operators, and destinations."

# 1. Discover workspace + Eventstream IDs
$wsId = (az rest --method get `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" `

$esId = (az rest --method get `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$wsId/eventstreams" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" `
  --query "value[?displayName=='SensorIngestion'] | [0].id" -o tsv)
if (-not $esId) { throw "Eventstream 'SensorIngestion' not found" }

# 2. Get topology (returns JSON directly — no base64 decoding needed)
$topo = az rest --method get `
  --url "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com/v1/workspaces/$wsId/eventstreams/$esId/topology" `
  --resource "https://api.fabric.microsoft.com" | ConvertFrom-Json

}

Example 3: Check Retention and Throughput Settings

Prompt: "What are the retention and throughput settings for my SensorIngestion Eventstream?"

Note: Retention and throughput settings are stored in the eventstreamProperties.json part of the definition (not eventstream.json). If this part is absent, the Eventstream uses platform defaults.

# 1. Discover workspace + Eventstream IDs
$wsId = (az rest --method get `

}

Example 4: Get Custom Endpoint Connection Metadata

Prompt: "Get the Kafka connection metadata for the Custom Endpoint source in my SensorIngestion Eventstream."

Security: The connection endpoint returns access keys. Get user confirmation before calling it and avoid logging raw credentials.

# 1. Discover workspace + Eventstream IDs (omitted for brevity)

# 2. Get topology to find Custom Endpoint source ID
$topo = az rest --method get `

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

embedded-captions

heygen-com/hyperframes

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
