PowerPlatform Dataverse Client for Python is a Python library for working with Microsoft Dataverse through its web API. It lets developers manage records, query data, work with tables and relationships, and upload files.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01645 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00658 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00329 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00164 |
Grade A, and why
dataverse-sdk-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dataverse SDK Development Guide
Overview
This skill provides guidance for developers working on the PowerPlatform Dataverse Client Python SDK repository itself (not using the SDK).
Best Practices
API Design
- Public methods in operation namespaces - New public methods go in the appropriate namespace module under
src/PowerPlatform/Dataverse/operations/(records.py,query.py,tables.py,batch.py). Theclient.pyfile exposes these via namespace properties (client.records,client.query,client.tables,client.batch). Public types and constants live in their own modules (e.g.,models/metadata.py,models/batch.py,common/constants.py) - Every public method needs README example - Public API methods must have examples in README.md
- Reuse existing APIs - Always check if an existing method can be used before making direct Web API calls
- Update documentation when adding features - Keep README and SKILL files (both copies) in sync
- Consider backwards compatibility - Avoid breaking changes
- Internal vs public naming - Modules, files, and functions not meant to be part of the public API must use a
_prefix (e.g.,_odata.py,_relationships.py). Files without the prefix (e.g.,constants.py,metadata.py) are public and importable by SDK consumers - Async client - The SDK ships a full async client (
AsyncDataverseClient) undersrc/PowerPlatform/Dataverse/aio/. When adding a feature to the sync client, add it to the async client too. The async operation namespaces mirror the sync ones:aio/operations/async_records.py,async_query.py,async_tables.py,async_batch.py,async_files.py. Pure logic (payload builders, URL construction) goes indata/_odata_base.py— inherited by both_ODataClientand_AsyncODataClient— so it only needs to be written once; HTTP-calling code goes indata/_odata.py(sync) oraio/data/_async_odata.py(async). Async tests live intests/unit/aio/and async examples inexamples/aio/. Theaiohttpdependency is an optional extra (pip install "PowerPlatform-Dataverse-Client[async]") — do not move it into the requireddependencieslist inpyproject.toml.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dataverse-sdk-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/PowerPlatform-DataverseClient-Python (63 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,645 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
