Skill: Python SDK

This skill uses Python exclusively. Do not use Node.js, JavaScript, or any other language for Dataverse scripting. If you are about to run npm install or write a .js file, STOP — you are going off-rails. See the overview skill's Hard Rules.

Use the official Microsoft Power Platform Dataverse Client Python SDK for data operations and basic table management in scripts and automation.

Official SDK: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerPlatform-DataverseClient-Python PyPI package: PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client (this is the only official one — do not use dataverse-api or other unofficial packages) Status: Preview — breaking changes are possible

pip install --upgrade PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client

Before Writing ANY Script — Check MCP First

If MCP tools are available (list_tables, describe_table, read_query, create_record) and the task is a simple query, single-record read, or small CRUD (≤10 records), use MCP directly — no script needed. Only write a Python script when the task requires bulk operations, multi-step logic, schema creation, or analytics.
