📊 Power BI Integration - Ready for Review

This PR adds comprehensive Power BI integration to Kasal, enabling AI agents to analyze Power BI semantic models using DAX queries
and Databricks job orchestration.


🎯 Overview

Adds two PowerBI tools for AI agent workflows:

  • PowerBIDAXTool: Direct DAX query execution for fast, interactive queries
  • PowerBIAnalysisTool: Complex analysis via Databricks jobs for heavy workloads

Use Case: Enable customers like Syngenta/Coca-Cola to have AI agents query PowerBI data without manual intervention, supporting
both real-time queries and complex analytical workflows.


✨ Key Features

Backend

  • Power BI Service Layer (powerbi_service.py)

    • Device code flow authentication
    • Service Principal authentication (non-interactive)
    • Workspace and semantic model management
    • DAX query execution with error handling
  • PowerBI Configuration Management

    • Database models for workspace/auth config
    • Repository pattern with unit of work
    • API endpoints for CRUD operations
    • Multi-tenant support (group isolation)
  • CrewAI Tool Integration

    • PowerBIDAXTool: Direct REST API queries
    • PowerBIAnalysisTool: Databricks job orchestration
    • Automatic result formatting and data extraction
  • Comprehensive Testing

    • Unit tests: repositories, services, routers
    • Integration tests: DAX tool end-to-end
    • 80%+ code coverage

Frontend

  • PowerBI Configuration UI (PowerBIConfiguration.tsx)

    • Workspace management
    • Authentication method selection
    • Service Principal credential storage
    • Test connection functionality
  • Security Disclaimers for authentication flows

  • Tool Form Updates for PowerBI tools

Documentation

  • Comprehensive Setup Guide (11 sections, 514 lines)

    • Development environment setup
    • Databricks job configuration
    • Azure Service Principal setup with admin consent workflow
    • Troubleshooting guide (403 errors, OAuth scopes)
    • Security best practices
    • Email template for Azure admin requests
  • PowerBI Integration Guide with API examples

  • Device Code Testing Guide for interactive auth

  • Example Notebooks for testing


🏗️ Architecture

Kasal AI Agent
├─ PowerBIDAXTool (fast queries)
│ └─> Power BI REST API

└─ PowerBIAnalysisTool (complex analysis)
└─> Databricks Job (pbi_e2e_pipeline)
├─ Step 1: Extract metadata
├─ Step 2: Generate DAX query
└─ Step 3: Execute query → Power BI REST API

Authentication Hierarchy:

  1. Service Principal (Application permission - production)
  2. Device Code Flow (Delegated permission - testing)
  3. PAT tokens (fallback)

🧪 Testing Instructions

1. Backend Tests

cd src/backend
python run_tests.py --type unit
python run_tests.py --type integration

2. Manual Testing (Requires Azure Setup)

Prerequisites:
- Azure Service Principal with Dataset.Read.All (Application permission)
- Power BI workspace with SP access
- Databricks job: pbi_e2e_pipeline

Test Flow:
1. Deploy Kasal app to Databricks Apps
2. Configure PowerBI workspace in UI
3. Import reference crew (tools ID 71/72)
4. Run crew with question: "What is total revenue?"
5. Verify Databricks job execution
6. Check Power BI audit logs

3. Key Test Scenarios

- ✅ Service Principal authentication
- ✅ DAX query execution and result parsing
- ✅ Databricks job triggering and monitoring
- ✅ Error handling (403, timeout, invalid DAX)
- ✅ Multi-workspace support
- ✅ Encrypted credential storage

🔍 Review Focus Areas

Critical Paths

1. Security:
  - Service Principal credential encryption (powerbi_config_repository.py:45-67)
  - API key handling in tool initialization
  - No credential leakage in logs/errors
2. Authentication Flow:
  - Service Principal token acquisition (powerbi_service.py:89-134)
  - OAuth fallback handling
  - Token refresh logic
3. Async Operations:
  - All I/O operations are async (powerbi_service.py, powerbi_dax_tool.py)
  - Proper event loop handling in CrewAI tools
  - No blocking operations
4. Data Extraction:
  - Notebook output parsing (powerbi_analysis_tool.py:469-650)
  - Result formatting and JSON serialization
  - Handling large result sets (simplified output logic)

Edge Cases Handled

- ✅ Multi-task Databricks jobs (task_key parameter)
- ✅ Empty result sets
- ✅ Expired credentials
- ✅ Timeout handling (5-minute job timeout)
- ✅ Missing workspace permissions

---
🚨 Breaking Changes

None - This is a pure feature addition with no impact on existing functionality.

---
📦 Dependencies Added

# Already in requirements.txt - no new dependencies needed
- msal (Microsoft Authentication Library)

- litellm (LLM routing)

---
🔒 Security Considerations

1. Credential Storage: Encrypted in database using Fernet
2. API Key Management: Per-group isolation, no sharing
3. Least Privilege: Service Principal only needs Dataset.Read.All
4. Audit Trail: All queries logged to Power BI audit logs
5. Token Rotation: Documented in setup guide

---
📚 Documentation Completeness

- ✅ API documentation (docstrings)
- ✅ Setup guide (11 sections)
- ✅ Integration guide with examples
- ✅ Troubleshooting guide
- ✅ Security best practices
- ✅ Example notebooks and crews

---
✅ Checklist

- Code coverage >80%
- No credentials in code
- Async/await properly used
- Clean architecture patterns followed
- Multi-tenant isolation maintained
- Documentation complete
- Migration scripts included
