Bulk reads, multi-page iteration, and analytics over Dataverse data. Use when the user wants to read, list, filter, aggregate, group, join, or analyze records — including pandas DataFrame workflows and notebook exploration. Also covers ERP (Finance and Operations / F&O) business-data reads and runtime entity, schema, or action discovery; load dv-overview first, then this skill.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Query — Read and Analyze Dataverse Records > **This skill uses Python and the Dataverse CLI.** Do not use Node.js, JavaScript, or any other language for Dataverse scripting. See the overview skill's Hard Rules. ## Reads: prefer a managed surface, choose by shape **Fast path for simple reads:** If `dataverse auth who` shows an active profile, skip workspace setup and query directly with the CLI examples below. No `.env`, `auth.py`, pip install, or PAC needed for data reads. Pick **MCP, the Dataverse CLI, or the SDK by the shape of the read** — all three handle auth and retry (see the routing table below and the overview's **Tool Capabilities** / Hard Rule 2). MCP fits small, interactive reads; the CLI fits headless one-liners (OData, SQL, count); the SDK fits bulk iteration and analytics. For `$apply` aggregation and N:N `$expand`, prefer `client.query.fetchxml()` (aggregates + link-entity) or the managed `dataverse api` escape hatch; reach for hand-rolled `urllib`/`get_token()` **only** to stay in-process inside a tight Python loop (e.g. paging thousands of rows with client-side processing — see web-api-advanced.md). …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/dataverse-skills/dv-query@sha256:dabb7d67a17878a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.65bb1d3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
