Lists all AutoNumber columns in a specific table or across all tables in the environment. Helps identify existing AutoNumber implementations.
AI agents call list_autonumber_columns 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 schema metadata about AutoNumber columns without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. It is a straightforward read-only operation that gathers information about the current state of the Dataverse environment. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since listing schema information poses no risk of data loss, corruption, or unauthorized operations.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description explicitly states it 'Lists all AutoNumber columns' to 'identify existing AutoNumber implementations' - a pure query/enumeration operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Lists all AutoNumber columns in a specific table or across all tables in the environment. Helps identify existing AutoNumber implementations. 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 list_autonumber_columns: 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_autonumber_columns 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_autonumber_columns 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_autonumber_columns. 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_autonumber_columns is provided by the Dataverse MCP Server MCP server (wizspdemo/dataverse-mcp3). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
