Microsoft Entra Agent ID now covers Dataverse, giving AI agents a first-class directory identity so their access to your data can be governed, audited and lifecycle-managed like any user's, instead of piggybacking on a maker or service account. Public preview.
Prompt columns, which run an AI prompt over each row and persist the result, are now generally available. You define the prompt once on the table and the output is stored like any other column, so apps, flows and views read it without re-invoking the model.
The Dataverse plugin for coding agents now reaches OpenAI and Codex via their marketplaces, letting those agents read and write Dataverse data directly rather than only through Microsoft's own tooling.
A Dataverse plugin is now in the Cursor marketplace, so coding agents in Cursor can read tables, schema and metadata straight from Dataverse. Handy if your developers work in Cursor and want data context without hopping into the maker portal.
The Link to Fabric setup flow in Dataverse has been reworked, tidying how you mirror Dataverse tables into OneLake and Fabric. Same feature, cleaner path through it, worth a look if you wire these links up often.
Power Pages sites can now authorise visitors straight against Dataverse's own security model - roles, row ownership and column security - instead of the separate table-permissions layer. In public preview, so retest an existing site's access before you switch it over.
Microsoft's monthly round-up of the agent-facing Dataverse work — MCP tooling, knowledge sources and the intelligence features. Useful for tracking what's actually GA versus still preview, which moves month to month at the moment.
Bulk delete picks up solution-awareness, a permanent-deletion option that skips deleted-record keeping, and restore-from-job. The solution-aware part matters most — bulk delete jobs can finally travel through ALM, though imported jobs run on import.
Low-latency sync for Link to Fabric hits GA, dropping the CSV staging step that made near-real-time reporting off Dataverse awkward. Check the finance and operations prerequisites before promising anyone a latency figure.
The MCP server's tool surface changed: describe_table, list_tables and fetch are gone in favour of describe, and the old search became search_data while search now means metadata search. If you built anything against the earlier tools, it needs revisiting.
The Dataverse plugin for coding agents, announced at Build 2026, lets tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude work against a Dataverse environment directly. Worth a look if your developers are already living in an agentic editor.
