Microsoft 365 Send Email

m365_send_email
Destructive

Use this when the user wants to send from their Microsoft 365 / Outlook account via the cloud — requires a connected M365 account. Shows a preview first — set confirm=true to actually send. For sending from an account configured in the Mac's Mail.app, use send_email.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ccNoCC recipients (optional, comma-separated)
toYesRecipient email address. For multiple, separate with commas.
bodyYesEmail body (plain text)
accountNoWhich connected Microsoft 365 account to use: its email (UPN), its id from list_m365_accounts, or its display name when unique. Leave it out to use the default account.
confirmNoSet to true to actually send (default: shows preview only)
subjectYesEmail subject
rememberNoWith confirm: true, also stop asking for this kind of action from now on. Only when the person said so ("don't ask again"). The person can revoke it in LMCP or with set_always_allowed.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okNo
accountNoThe email (UPN) of the Microsoft 365 account this call used.

TDQS

A4.7/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already flag destructiveHint=true and openWorldHint=true, but the description adds the critical behavior those hints cannot express: the tool is preview-first and only actually sends when confirm=true. It also surfaces the auth prerequisite (a connected M365 account), which is exactly what an agent needs to avoid a failed or accidental send.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three short sentences, no filler: trigger and scope first, then the send-gating behavior, then the disambiguation pointer. Each sentence carries a distinct, decision-relevant fact.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists and all parameters are fully described in the schema, so the description only needs to carry trigger, prerequisite, send-gating, and sibling disambiguation — all of which are present. Nothing an agent needs in order to call this correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all seven parameters (including account resolution and remember) are already documented in the schema. The description restates the confirm/preview semantics in workflow terms but adds no syntax, format, or validation detail beyond what the schema provides, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource (send email) plus the exact channel/scope: from the user's Microsoft 365 / Outlook account via the cloud. It also names the sibling it is not — send_email for Mac Mail.app — so an agent can distinguish it without opening either schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicit trigger ('when the user wants to send from their M365/Outlook account via the cloud'), an explicit prerequisite ('requires a connected M365 account'), and an explicit alternative ('For sending from an account configured in the Mac's Mail.app, use send_email'). Nothing about when to pick this versus the generic mail sender is left to inference.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
