Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for Azure/data-api-builder focusing on delivering business value and technical excellence. Key feature delivered: Describe Entities with DML Tool Filtering and Improved Error Messaging. This work ensures users see only entities accessible via DML tools and provides clearer feedback when all eligible entities are filtered out due to DML tool settings. A deduplication safeguard was implemented to prevent duplication of entities between custom tools and describe_entities (MCP #3076).
