get-current-user

Read-only

Retrieve the properties and relationships of the currently authenticated Microsoft 365 user, with support for selecting specific fields and expanding related entities.

Instructions

Retrieve the properties and relationships of user object. This operation returns by default only a subset of the more commonly used properties for each user. These default properties are noted in the Properties section. To get properties that are not returned by default, do a GET operation for the user and specify the properties in a $select OData query option. Because the user resource supports extensions, you can also use the GET operation to get custom properties and extension data in a user instance. Customers through Microsoft Entra ID for customers can also use this API operation to retrieve their details.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ConsistencyLevelNoIndicates the requested consistency level. Documentation URL: https://docs.microsoft.com/graph/aad-advanced-queries
selectNoComma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime
expandNoExpand related entities
fetchAllPagesNoFollow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a small $top first, then paginate or narrow with $filter/$search.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds context about default vs non-default properties and support for extensions, but does not disclose additional behavioral traits beyond annotations.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Description is concise (5 sentences) and front-loaded with purpose. It includes necessary details but could be structured more clearly with bullet points.

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

Completeness4/5

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

No output schema, but description explains default properties return and how to get more. It covers key aspects for a simple GET operation, though could mention error cases or authentication requirements.

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?

Input schema has 6 parameters with 100% description coverage. Description mentions $select and extensions, adding minimal value beyond schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states the tool retrieves properties and relationships of the current user object. It specifies default properties and how to get non-default ones via $select, which distinguishes it from sibling tools like get-mailbox-settings.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Description explains when to use the tool (retrieve user info) and how to use $select for custom properties. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or mention alternative tools, missing some usage boundaries.

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