Updates the properties and configuration of an existing team. Use this to modify team settings like name, description, administrator, or other team properties without changing team membership.
AI agents use update_dataverse_team to create or update resources in Dataverse MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Dataverse MCP Server environment.
This tool modifies existing team configurations (properties, settings, administrator assignments) within Dataverse without deleting or creating new teams. Modifications are reversible, placing it firmly in the Write category rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Updates the properties and configuration of an existing team' and 'modify team settings like name, description, administrator' — these are reversible modifications to existing data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_dataverse_team gives an agent:
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 update_dataverse_team:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"update_dataverse_team": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "update_dataverse_team_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}update_dataverse_team stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Updates the properties and configuration of an existing team. Use this to modify team settings like name, description, administrator, or other team properties without changing team membership. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Dataverse MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_dataverse_team: 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.
update_dataverse_team is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_dataverse_team 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 update_dataverse_team. 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.
update_dataverse_team 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.
