Remove the custom theme from the report, reverting to the default base theme. The theme file is kept in StaticResources but unlinked from report.json.
AI agents use pbir_remove_report_theme to create or update resources in Power BI Report MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Power BI Report MCP Server environment.
The tool modifies the report configuration by unlinking the custom theme, reverting to default. The theme file itself is preserved ('kept in StaticResources'), making this a reversible modification rather than a destructive deletion. It writes/updates report.json to remove the theme reference, classifying it as Write.
From the tool's definition 'Remove the custom theme from the report, reverting to the default base theme. The theme file is kept in StaticResources but unlinked from report.json.'
