DirectLine mode (authenticationmode 1 or 3)

{ "status": "ok", "mode": "directline", "authenticationmode": 1, "tokenEndpoint": "https://...", "schemaName": "..." }

The agent uses no authentication or manual authentication. No user credentials needed. The tokenEndpoint is ready to use with /copilot-studio:chat-directline.

M365 mode (authenticationmode 2)

{ "status": "ok", "mode": "m365", "authenticationmode": 2, "schemaName": "..." }

The agent uses integrated authentication (Entra ID SSO). An App Registration Client ID is needed for /copilot-studio:chat-sdk.

Return the result to the caller. Do not proceed to chat — that is a separate step.

Detect Agent Authentication Mode

Query the Dataverse bots entity to determine whether the agent uses DirectLine (no auth / manual auth) or the Copilot Studio SDK (integrated auth / Entra ID SSO).

Instructions

Run the detect-only command:
```
node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/chat-with-agent.bundle.js --detect-only $ARGUMENTS
```
If the agent is not at the project root, pass --agent-dir <path>.
Parse the JSON output from stdout:

DirectLine mode (authenticationmode 1 or 3)
```
{ "status": "ok", "mode": "directline", "authenticationmode": 1, "tokenEndpoint": "https://...", "schemaName": "..." }
```
The agent uses no authentication or manual authentication. No user credentials needed. The tokenEndpoint is ready to use with /copilot-studio:chat-directline.

M365 mode (authenticationmode 2)
```
{ "status": "ok", "mode": "m365", "authenticationmode": 2, "schemaName": "..." }
```
The agent uses integrated authentication (Entra ID SSO). An App Registration Client ID is needed for /copilot-studio:chat-sdk.
Return the result to the caller. Do not proceed to chat — that is a separate step.
