Retrieves detailed information about a specific column in a Dataverse table, including its data type, properties, and configuration settings. Use this to inspect column definitions and understand field structure.
AI agents call get_dataverse_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 query operation on Dataverse metadata. It retrieves and inspects column definitions without creating, modifying, or deleting any data or schema elements. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could gain knowledge of the schema structure, but cannot modify or destroy data. This is a straightforward information retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves detailed information about a column in a Dataverse table. Keywords: 'Retrieves', 'inspect', 'understand field structure' indicate querying/inspection without modification. No destructive, financial, or execution language present.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves detailed information about a specific column in a Dataverse table, including its data type, properties, and configuration settings. Use this to inspect column definitions and understand field structure. 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_column: 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_column 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_column 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_column. 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_column is provided by the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server (wizspdemo/dataverse-mcp2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
