## Description

Trigger a refresh of a Power BI dataset. Returns 202 Accepted on success; the request ID is available in the `Location` response header (last path segment) and `x-ms-request-id` header — use **Get Refresh History** to check status. Use **List Datasets** first to resolve a dataset name → `datasetId`. Pass `workspaceId` (from **List Workspaces**) or `workspaceName` to target a specific workspace, or omit both for My workspace. `notifyOption` controls email notifications on refresh outcome: `NoNotification` (default), `MailOnCompletion`, or `MailOnFailure`. Power BI Pro licenses allow up to 8 scheduled refreshes per day; Premium allows 48. Note: Push datasets accept this endpoint but the refresh is metadata-only (tile refresh), not a data refresh — no cancellable history entry is produced. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/refresh-dataset-in-group)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `datasetId` | `string` | Yes | ID of the dataset to refresh. Example: cfafbeb1-8037-4d0c-896e-a46fb27ff229. Use List Datasets to find IDs by name. |
| `workspaceId` | `string` | No | ID of the workspace. Use the List Workspaces tool to see accessible workspaces. Omit to target My workspace. |
| `workspaceName` | `string` | No | Name of the workspace (alternative to Workspace ID). Use the List Workspaces tool to see accessible workspaces. |
| `notifyOption` | `string` | No | Email notification behavior on refresh outcome. Allowed values: NoNotification (default), MailOnCompletion, MailOnFailure. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "microsoft_power_bi",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "microsoft_power_bi-refresh-dataset",
  arguments: {
    datasetId: "Dataset ID",
    workspaceId: "Workspace ID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "microsoft_power_bi-refresh-dataset",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    microsoft_power_bi: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    datasetId: "Dataset ID",
    workspaceId: "Workspace ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
```
