MCP Tool Description (Exact)

List components in a Dataverse solution. Returns: solution info + count-per-type summary + detail (componentType, objectId, name). Full Entity components (rootComponentBehavior=0) listed as-is — use get_tables for sub-components.

WHEN TO USE:
- Audit solution contents before packaging/deploying
- Find objectIds for plugins, web resources, workflows
- Identify unmanaged customizations before importing managed solutions

FUZZY/AMBIGUITY:
- solution_name resolves Display Name contains first, then unique name contains. Ambiguity returns IsError=true with candidates.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
solution_name	string	Yes	-	Solution unique/display name; multiple matches return choices.
include_active_layers	boolean	No	false	Add ActiveLayer (Yes/No) via msdyn_componentlayer. Active = unmanaged customization exists.
active_layers_only	boolean	No	false	Show only active-layer components; implies include_active_layers.
