list-all-onenote-sections

Read-only

Retrieve a list of all OneNote sections from every notebook. Use parameters to filter, search, or paginate results for efficient access.

Instructions

Retrieve a list of onenoteSection objects.

đź’ˇ TIP: Lists all sections across all notebooks. Use list-onenote-notebook-sections to list sections within a specific notebook instead.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
topNoPage size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more rows, use @odata.nextLink from the response instead of a very large $top.
skipNoItems to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search.
searchNoKQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter.
filterNoOData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search.
countNoSet true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains().
orderbyNoSort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc
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
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so the tool is known to be read-only and non-destructive. The description adds that it retrieves sections 'across all notebooks,' clarifying the scope. It does not contradict annotations and provides useful context beyond the schema.

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?

The description is extremely concise: one sentence plus a short tip. Every word serves a purpose, with no redundancy or unnecessary detail.

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?

Given no output schema and a list operation with many parameters, the description covers the essential purpose and differentiation. It implicitly addresses pagination via the tip (start small, use @odata.nextLink). However, it does not explicitly describe the return structure (e.g., array of section objects), which would improve completeness for an agent.

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?

The input schema has 11 parameters, all with descriptions, achieving 100% schema coverage. The description does not add parameter details, but the schema already handles this well. The tip mentions $top, but overall the description adds minimal value beyond what the schema provides, justifying a baseline of 3.

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?

The description states 'Retrieve a list of onenoteSection objects,' which is a specific verb and resource. It also distinguishes itself from the sibling tool 'list-onenote-notebook-sections' via the tip, clarifying that this tool lists sections across all notebooks.

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?

The tip explicitly says to use this tool to list all sections across all notebooks and suggests using 'list-onenote-notebook-sections' for a specific notebook. It also advises starting with a small $top to fit model context, providing clear usage guidance.

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