Pull Request Checklist

I have read and followed the CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines.
I have read and followed the Guidance for submissions involving paid services.
My contribution adds a new instruction, prompt, agent, skill, workflow, or canvas extension file in the correct directory. (Not applicable: this updates an existing Microsoft-owned listing.)
The existing catalog entry and generated manifest follow the repository's required format.
The content is clearly structured and follows the existing external-plugin format.
I have tested the listing with GitHub Copilot CLI using an isolated marketplace and configuration directory. Installation reported all nine upstream skills; no Dataverse environment or credentials were required.
I have run npm start and verified that the README indexes are up to date.
I am targeting the main branch for this pull request.

Description

Refresh the existing Dataverse description and keywords from the current upstream plugin manifest on main, while preserving the existing cosmetic marketplace version:

Use upstream's current description covering CRUD, bulk operations, queries, metadata, administration, security, environment management, and solution lifecycle.
Keep the listed version at 1.0.0, as requested and documented in upstream's marketplace maintenance guidance.
Match upstream keywords: dataverse, mcp, power-platform, and dynamics-365.
Regenerate the marketplace manifest, fixing the stale generated entry identified in review feedback.

Only the Dataverse entry in the external catalog and its generated marketplace entry change. No plugin implementation, other catalog entries, or validation policies are changed.

Source tracking: upstream default branch (`main`), not a SHA pin

Preserve the existing GitHub source and plugin root:

{
  "source": "github",
  "repo": "microsoft/Dataverse-skills",
  "path": ".github/plugins/dataverse"
}

There is intentionally no source.sha or source.ref. The upstream repository's default branch is main; the listing therefore follows that branch rather than freezing installation at a commit or release tag. Upstream explicitly documents that the Awesome Copilot version field is cosmetic-only and does not need updating. It remains 1.0.0; it is not a Git revision selector.

Maintainer follow-up: the repository currently has conflicting requirements for existing unpinned listings:

Marketplace validation permits an omitted locator with a warning, and the documented README resolver uses the default branch for unpinned listings.
An explicit source.ref: "main" is rejected by the existing validator.
The external-plugin PR quality runner requires a ref or SHA and reports source.ref or source.sha is required for quality gates for this existing source shape.

Please confirm the existing default-branch tracking for this Microsoft-owned listing, or provide a supported branch-tracking policy in the quality runner. This PR deliberately does not weaken the validation policy, disguise a mutable ref as a tag, or introduce an unwanted immutable pin.

Type of Contribution

Update to an existing plugin listing.
New plugin or skill content.

Validation

npm start passed; a second run produced identical marketplace output and no README changes.
npm run plugin:validate passed: 104 local plugins and 77 external entries. Existing catalog warnings, including the Dataverse unpinned-source warning, remain.

Focused regression suite passed: 37 tests, zero failures:

node --test eng/external-plugin-validation.test.mjs eng/external-plugin-quality-gates.test.mjs eng/lib/external-plugin-readme.test.mjs

Programmatic assertions confirmed that description, keywords, and the other non-version metadata match upstream main, the cosmetic listing version remains 1.0.0, the generated Dataverse entry equals the source entry, no ref/SHA pin is present, and every other external entry is unchanged.
An isolated Copilot CLI installation using the exact updated entry succeeded and reported nine skills, including the current erp-xpp Finance and Operations skill.
git diff --check passed.

The local installation smoke test is not a claim that the hosted external-plugin quality gate passes; the locator-policy conflict above still needs maintainer resolution.
