Retrieves detailed information about an AutoNumber column including its current format, properties, and configuration.
AI agents call get_autonumber_column 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 performs a read-only operation that queries and returns information about an existing AutoNumber column's configuration. There is no data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an unauthorized user could only view column configuration details, not alter or delete data. This clearly falls into the Read category.
