Dataverse MCP Server

dataverse_list_relationships

Read-onlyIdempotent

List relationship definitions for a Dataverse table or the whole environment. Filter by type (OneToMany, ManyToOne, ManyToMany) to obtain schema names for use with $expand and associate operations.

Instructions

List relationship definitions for a table (OneToMany, ManyToOne, ManyToMany) or the whole environment.

Use the returned SchemaName with dataverse_get_relationship for full cascade and navigation property details. Navigation property names from the results are required for OData $expand queries and for dataverse_associate_records.

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so description adds value by explaining how results are used (for $expand and associate_records) but does not disclose additional behavioral traits beyond what annotations cover.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences with no wasted words. Front-loaded with purpose, followed by actionable guidance on using results.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Description covers purpose, scope, and usage hints. Output schema exists so return structure is documented elsewhere. Complete for a listing tool with proper annotations.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Input schema provides detailed descriptions for all parameters; description does not add further parameter meaning. Baseline 3 due to high schema description coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states it lists relationship definitions (OneToMany, ManyToOne, ManyToMany) for a table or whole environment. It distinguishes from sibling dataverse_get_relationship by directing users to that tool for full details.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says when to use (list relationships) and mentions navigation property names are needed for $expand and associate_records. Provides an alternative (use returned SchemaName with get_relationship). Does not explicitly state when not to use, but context of sibling tools makes it clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
