# Microsoft SharePoint
<!-- BEGIN:skill-intro -->
Agent-callable tools for Microsoft SharePoint Online, over the [Microsoft Graph API](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/sharepoint?view=graph-rest-1.0) v1.0 (`https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/...`): find sites and document libraries; browse, search, upload, download, move, copy, and share files and folders; manage SharePoint lists and list items; and author and publish site pages. 32 scripts across sites, drives, files & folders, sharing & permissions, lists, list items, and pages. Read-only navigation tools resolve the ids (`siteId`, `driveId`, `listId`, `pageId`, column internal names) that the write tools require — a site is addressed by an opaque composite id you get from `findSites`/`getSite`, never constructed by hand.

<!-- END:skill-intro -->
## When to use this
<!-- BEGIN:skill-use-cases -->
- An agent needs to **find or read** SharePoint content — search sites, list a site's document libraries, browse or search files and folders, or read a file's / list-item's / page's details.
- An agent needs to **work with files** — create folders, upload text or binary files, move / copy / rename, export to PDF or HTML, or share (links and per-person grants) and manage permissions.
- An agent needs to **work with lists** — list a site's lists, discover a list's columns, create lists, and create / read / update / delete list items.
- An agent needs to **author pages** — create a draft site page (optionally with text body content) and publish it.
<!-- END:skill-use-cases -->
## Setup
This is an [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io) skill.
If the connector has not been installed as a skill yet, install it first with `npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill microsoft-sharepoint` (or your harness's own skill-install mechanism), then continue here. Installing the skill copies these files, not dependencies. Before running the CLI, a local MCP server, or `zapier-sdk` auth commands, run `npm install --omit=dev` here once. Importing the published package as a dependency in your own project instead? That `npm install` already resolves everything — see [`references/use-as-sdk.md`](references/use-as-sdk.md).
The connector runs on **Node.js 22.18+**. Pick the reference that matches how you're running it, and load it before doing anything else:
| You have... | Load |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| An MCP-aware client — tools may already be loaded (e.g. `mcp__microsoft-sharepoint__<tool>`), or you can register a local server yourself (or guide the user to) | [`references/use-as-mcp.md`](references/use-as-mcp.md) |
| Terminal / subprocess access (you can run `node`) | [`references/use-as-cli.md`](references/use-as-cli.md) |
| Only your own code, importing this package as a dependency | [`references/use-as-sdk.md`](references/use-as-sdk.md) |
| No tool access, no terminal, no ability to import this package — you write your own code that calls the Microsoft SharePoint API directly (e.g. a code-execution sandbox) | [`references/use-as-recipe.md`](references/use-as-recipe.md) |
## Scripts
<!-- BEGIN:skill-connections-note? -->
All scripts use the single connection `microsoft-sharepoint`, except `getCopyStatus`, which needs no connection (it polls a pre-authenticated monitor URL).

<!-- BEGIN:disambiguation-and-refusals? -->
## Disambiguation & refusals
**Disambiguation before a write.** Before writing to something you looked up by name — a site from `findSites`, a list from `listLists`, or a list item from `findListItems` — count the **exact case-insensitive name matches**:
- **Exactly one match** — act on it. Don't over-ask; a single unambiguous match is the answer.
- **Two or more that tie** — stop. List the tied candidates with a distinguishing field (`webUrl`, `id`, or `lastModifiedDateTime`) and ask which one the user means. Don't pick arbitrarily, and don't write to all of them. Site names in particular collide across departments (e.g. two "Marketing" sites).
**Unsupported operations — say so and stop; don't fake it with another tool.** This catalog deliberately does **not**:
- **Move a file across libraries or sites (no native move).** `moveItem` is same-library only. The only way to relocate across libraries/sites is `copyItem` → (`getCopyStatus`) → `deleteItem`, which is **lossy**: the copy gets a new id and URL, its sharing links and permissions don't carry over, and a half-failed copy can lose the file. You may perform this relocation when asked to move a file elsewhere, but **never present it as a plain "move"**: warn the user first that it's a copy-then-delete, tell them the file's URL/id changes and sharing links & permissions won't carry over, confirm the copy succeeded via `getCopyStatus` before deleting the original, and report the new location. Never silently copy-delete and report a completed move.
- **Edit an existing page's body, or add non-text web parts** (images, embeds, quick-links, multi-column layouts). `createPage` authors a single text web part on a **new** page; editing an existing page's content and rich web parts are out of scope. **Do not delete the page and recreate it to simulate an edit** — that changes the page's id/URL and loses its version history, comments, and permissions. Tell the user in-place body editing isn't supported and stop.
- **Enumerate every site in the tenant.** There is no "list all sites" — a delegated token can't. Use `findSites` (keyword) or `getSite` with a known path.
- **Manage content types, site columns, term-store metadata, or triggers** (new-file / new-item notifications). These aren't exposed.
- **Write person/group or multi-value lookup columns** on list items. Those column types are read-only here.
If asked for any of these, tell the user it's unsupported and stop — don't reach for an unrelated tool to approximate it.

## Auth
Every shape passes auth as one connection **selector**, not the secret — a `[<resolver>:]<value>` string. Every connector accepts `zapier:<connection-id>` (Zapier-managed auth — routes through Zapier's auth, retries, and governance layer); some also accept one or more direct-token resolvers (naming and count vary per connector) — check this connector's own resolvers rather than assuming. The `<resolver>:` prefix is optional; a bare value goes to the first resolver that claims it — a UUID-shaped bare value always claims `zapier:`. Each script declares the connections it needs and the resolvers each accepts. The exact syntax for passing a connection (and how to see this connector's resolver list) differs by shape — see the reference you loaded above.
Checking what's already configured first? Don't dump environment values to do it — `env` or `env | grep <name>` prints the value along with the name, leaking a live credential into the transcript if one is set. Check names only (`env | cut -d= -f1 | grep -i <name>`) or test a known name directly (`[ -n "$VAR_NAME" ]`).
<!-- BEGIN:skill-auth-notes? operational behavior that differs by WHICH resolver is used — a safety gate only one path enforces, scopes/permissions that differ between resolvers, a billing/plan difference tied to the auth path, or a feature only available (or unavailable) on one resolver. Not for describing how to obtain or pass a credential — that's references/use-without-zapier.md's job. Leave this region empty (unfilled) if every resolver behaves identically. -->
<!-- END:skill-auth-notes -->
No connection yet? Pick one — and follow the reference's own flow to obtain it; never just ask the user for a connection id or token as if they already have one memorized:
| | Load |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pass the credential directly | [`references/use-without-zapier.md`](references/use-without-zapier.md) |
| Route it through a Zapier connection | [`references/use-with-zapier.md`](references/use-with-zapier.md) |
## Output format
Every script returns a `{ data, meta }` envelope:
- **`data`** — the script's result (the shape its `outputSchema` declares; see the reference you loaded above for how to inspect a script's exact schema in your shape).
- **`meta.outputDataValidation`** — what validating `data` did:
- `{ skipped: false, droppedPaths: null }` — validated, nothing removed.
- `{ skipped: false, droppedPaths: [...], instruction }` — validated, but those paths were stripped from `data`: fields the script returned from the API that the `outputSchema` doesn't declare. If you need them, re-run with output validation skipped.
- `{ skipped: true }` — validation was bypassed; `data` is the raw, unchecked script output.
**Reading dropped fields / `skipOutputDataValidation`.** To receive the raw, unvalidated result, opt out of output validation (the exact syntax differs by shape — see the reference you loaded above). Input validation is never skipped.
**Trimming the result / `filterOutputData`.** To shrink a large result down to the fields you need, pass a jq expression that post-processes `data` (again, exact syntax per shape). The jq runs against `data` only, NOT the `{ data, meta }` envelope, so write it rooted at `data` (run the script's `--help` — or your shape's equivalent — to see its output schema). The transformed value replaces `data`, `meta` is preserved, and the result is NOT re-validated against the output schema.
