Microsoft Fabric Data Agents — Quickstart

A 20-minute path from zero to a working Fabric Data Agent you can chat with from the Fabric portal or from a notebook. Optimized for proof-of-concept / first-agent setup. For production governance, sharing model, evaluation harness, multi-source patterns, and the full gotcha list, see the companion skill azure-fabric-data-agents.

Sources — this quickstart is grounded in the Microsoft Learn docs at learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-science/how-to-create-data-agent, …/concept-data-agent, …/fabric-data-agent-sdk, and the official sample notebooks at github.com/microsoft/fabric-samples/tree/main/docs-samples/data-science/data-agent-sdk. Programmatic management uses the fabric-data-agent-sdk Python package (preview, designed to run inside a Fabric notebook). The SDK is not supported for local execution — all code below assumes a Fabric notebook.
