All handlers follow the established pattern from existing Intune handlers - Error handling with McpError for consistent error reporting - Type-safe arguments with TypeScript interfaces - Standardized return format with content array 2. **Lazy Loading** - All tools registered with lazy loading enabled - Credentials validated only when tool is executed - Graph client initialized on-demand 3. **Schema Validation** - All inputs validated with Zod schemas - Comprehensive field descriptions for AI discoverability - Optional and required fields properly typed 4. **Modular Organization** - Handlers grouped by functional area - Types separated from schemas - Clear separation of concerns ## API Endpoints Used ### Microsoft Graph API Endpoints - `/security/informationProtection/dataLossPreventionPolicies` - DLP policies - `/security/informationProtection/retentionPolicies` -

Add example workflows ## Statistics - **New Files Created**: 5 - `src/types/policy-types.ts` - `src/schemas/policy-schemas.ts` - `src/handlers/purview-compliance-handler.ts` - `src/handlers/conditional-access-handler.ts` - `src/handlers/security-policy-handlers.ts` - **Files Modified**: 2 - `src/server.ts` (added 200+ lines) - `src/tool-definitions.ts` (added exports) - **Total Lines Added**: ~2,500+ - **New Type Definitions**: 10 - **New Zod Schemas**: 10 - **New Handler Functions**: 25+ - **New Tools Registered**: 10 ## Build Status ✅ TypeScript compilation successful ✅ All type checks passing ✅ No linting errors ✅ All imports resolved correctly ## Conclusion This implementation successfully expands the M365 Core MCP server with comprehensive policy management capabilities following all established patterns and best practices.
