Retrieves detailed information about a specific relationship between Dataverse tables, including its configuration, cascade settings, and menu behavior. Use this to inspect relationship definitions and understand table connections.
AI agents call get_dataverse_relationship to retrieve information from Dataverse MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and inspects relationship metadata from Dataverse tables. It has no side effects and cannot modify, create, or delete data. However, it accesses enterprise schema information that could be sensitive (cascade settings reveal business logic dependencies, and relationship structures could inform privilege escalation or injection attacks).
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves detailed information about relationship configurations, cascade settings, and menu behavior without modifying or deleting data. The verb 'Retrieves' and action 'inspect relationship definitions' confirm read-only querying functionality.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Dataverse MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_dataverse_relationship:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_dataverse_relationship": {}
}
} get_dataverse_relationship is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Dataverse MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_dataverse_relationship: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Dataverse MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_dataverse_relationship is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_dataverse_relationship rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_dataverse_relationship. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_dataverse_relationship is provided by the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server (mwhesse/dataverse-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Dataverse MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
