Ensures the tenant has a usable Power Platform Pipelines host environment before any pipeline operation runs. Detects host state via the same resolution order as the Power Apps UI (org-db setting → BAP env metadata → default-custom-host setting); if any existing host (Platform or Custom) is found, uses it. If no host is bound to the source env, provisions a new **Platform Host** (recommended, idempotent) or a **Custom Host** via the BAP env-create API with the `D365_ProjectHost` template, or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Plugin check**: Run `node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js"` — if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.
<!-- alm-lint-ignore: SKILL-must-read-manifest — this skill manages the Pipelines host environment (deploymentenvironments / deploymentpipelines tables on the host), not the source-env solution. The site's .solution-manifest.json is irrelevant to host lifecycle: a host can be provisioned before any solution exists, and a single host is shared across many solutions. ALM-aware-by-default does not apply. -->
# ensure-pipelines-host
> **Scope:** When no host is bound to the source env, this skill detects any existing host (Custom or PE) for reuse, or — in `NoHost` state — offers three provisioning paths: a new **Platform Host** (recommended; idempotent, ~3–5 min); a new **Custom Host** (admin-only, ~5–10 min); or PPAC manual provisioning (fallback). Implementation details — endpoint names, template names, BAP audience — live in Phase 4.0 / 4.A / 4.C below; user-facing prose stays focused on outcomes.

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/ensure-pipelines-host@sha256:7a62db961849d119The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.da8ea7a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
