Business value
Microsoft Dataverse MCP improves agent tool routing with clearer tool boundaries, adds unstructured data search alongside structured records, and introduces business skill management from any MCP-compatible client.
Feature details
This release restructures the Dataverse MCP tool surface around the following principle: separate data retrieval from discovery, and give each tool a single unambiguous purpose to improve agent tool routing. All tools are billed at the basic rate except search_data, which remains at the premium rate.
Data search: renamed and expanded. Search is renamed to search_data and expanded to support unstructured data alongside structured records. The new name separates data retrieval from metadata discovery (see below).
Metadata search: new. A new search tool replaces list_tables and broadens metadata discovery to include tables, business skills, and apps—giving agents a dedicated exploration step separate from data retrieval.
Discovery: consolidated. describe_table and Fetch merge into a single describe tool that returns detailed information about tables, records, and business skills.
Business skill management: new. Two new tools—upsert_skill and delete_skill—bring business skill lifecycle operations into the MCP tool surface. Any MCP-compatible client can now create, update, and remove reusable skills directly.
