Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Source records, unified customer profiles, winning-value provenance, segments, measures, predictions, clusters, consent records, compliance profiles, purposes, topics, and unsubscribe links.

02 · Data you can retrieve

Resolve source or Contact IDs, retrieve unified profiles with source provenance, inspect segment membership, measures, predictions and clusters, and check channel-specific consent.

03 · Actions and write paths

The documented tools retrieve customer data and consent or generate unsubscribe links; the Journeys consent tools do not send messages or update consent records.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Calls execute in the user's Dataverse context and honor custom API privileges, tool authorization, security roles, and row-level access without privilege escalation.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Apply Dataverse role and row security, authorize individual tools, and bind consent checks or unsubscribe links to the intended compliance profile, purpose, topic, channel, and contact point.

06 · Limits and caveats

The capability is prerelease Preview and Microsoft says it is not intended for production use. Many data tools require a unified customer ID.

First-party MCP tool catalog

11 named MCP tools · Customer Insights MCP preview

The 11 exact Customer Insights Data and Customer Insights Journeys tool names in Microsoft's preview reference. The tools resolve source records to unified profiles and retrieve profile, segment, measure, prediction, cluster, and consent context. Reviewed Jul 10, 2026. Preview documentation is subject to change. Customer Insights Data tools read live Dataverse virtual entities; source types are discovered dynamically. Microsoft advises confirming parameters and schemas against the deployed server definition.

Support: Official MCP server

Read scope: Expose identity resolution, profile provenance, memberships, measures, predictions, clusters, and consent status while preserving source identifiers, unified customer ID, business unit, and consent context.

Write scope: All 11 reviewed named tools in the published catalog are read-only.

Authentication: Customer Insights tools are Dataverse custom APIs invoked in the caller's Microsoft environment context; Microsoft documents mutual TLS between Copilot Studio and Dataverse.

Approval boundary: Confirm the customer match and full consent context before exposing an unsubscribe link; distinguish generated output from any later delivery or consent-change workflow.

Protocol does not erase product boundaries.

Confirm the current tool catalog, plan, region, scopes, rate limits, terms, and write behavior before implementation.

The output could be an export, report, graph, artifact, application, agent, workflow, or downstream feed. These proposals are derived from documented access—not claims that Microsoft ships them.
