Reviewer notes

Reviewed review. These are observations, not a security certification.

95 stars, MIT, Microsoft-published. 63 commits since Jan 2026. Requires .NET 10 SDK for Canvas Apps. Power Platform-specific.

Microsoft-maintained. MIT licensed. curl-pipe-node install pattern — standard for MS tools.

Things to check

Requires active Power Platform tenant and appropriate licensing; generated code still needs manual testing and refinement for production workloads. Power Platform-specific constraints (entity limits, PCF compatibility, connector availability) may override Claude suggestions.
