# M365 Core MCP Server - Tool Descriptions & Intune Policy Enhancement ✅
## Overview
I've successfully addressed your Intune policy creation issues and enhanced all tool descriptions across the M365 Core MCP Server. Here's what was completed:
## 🛠️ New Intune Policy Creation Tool
### Problem Solved
- **Issue**: `dynamicendpoints` tool was creating incomplete/incorrect Intune policies
- **Solution**: New dedicated `create_intune_policy` tool with schema validation
### New Tool Details
**Tool Name**: `create_intune_policy`
**Description**: "Create accurate and complete Intune policies for Windows or macOS with validated settings and proper structure"
**Parameters**:
```typescript
{
platform: "windows" | "macos",
policyType: "Configuration" | "Compliance" | "Security" | "Update" | "AppProtection" | "EndpointSecurity",
displayName: string,
description?: string,
settings?: any,
assignments?: any[]
}
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ **Schema-driven validation** ensures correct policy structure
- ✅ **Platform-specific handling** (Windows vs macOS)
- ✅ **Reuses existing handlers** from `intune-macos-handler.ts` and `intune-windows-handler.ts`
- ✅ **Type-safe parameters** prevent common errors
- ✅ **Comprehensive error handling** with meaningful messages
### Usage Example
```typescript
{
"platform": "windows",
"policyType": "Configuration",
"displayName": "Windows Security Policy",
"description": "Enhanced security configuration for Windows devices",
"settings": {
"passwordRequired": true,
"passwordMinimumLength": 8,
"screenLockTimeout": 300
},
"assignments": [
{"target": "allUsers"}
]
}
```
