Retrieves a list of option sets in the Dataverse environment with filtering options. Use this to discover available choice lists, find custom option sets, or get an overview of reusable options. Supports filtering by custom/system and managed/unmanaged status.
AI agents call list_dataverse_optionsets 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 retrieves and queries option set metadata from the Dataverse environment without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read-only operation used for inventory and discovery. Blast radius is minimal—an agent misusing this can only learn about available option sets, which is low-risk metadata visibility.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'Retrieves a list of option sets' with filtering options. No modification, deletion, or execution capabilities mentioned. Pure data discovery operation.

Register the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_dataverse_optionsets: 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.
list_dataverse_optionsets 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 list_dataverse_optionsets 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 list_dataverse_optionsets. 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.
list_dataverse_optionsets 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.
