list-contact-folder-child-folders
list-contact-folder-child-foldersRead-only
List child folders under a specified contact folder in Microsoft 365. Retrieve immediate sub-folders with id, displayName, and parentFolderId to navigate folder hierarchies.
Instructions
Get a collection of child folders under the specified contact folder.
đź’ˇ TIP: Lists immediate sub-folders under a given contact folder. Returns id, displayName, parentFolderId. Use list-contact-folders to discover top-level folders, then this tool to traverse one level deeper. Supports $filter, $top, $orderby. Note: contact folders are typically a flat list in Outlook clients, but Graph allows nesting via this endpoint.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| top | No | Page 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. | |
| skip | No | Items to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search. | |
| count | No | Set true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains(). | |
| expand | No | Navigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as a message body fails with "Parsing OData Select and Expand failed", and an unsupported value may be ignored rather than reported. Request ordinary fields with $select instead. | |
| filter | No | OData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search. | |
| search | No | KQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter. | |
| select | No | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime | |
| orderby | No | Sort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc | |
| fetchAllPages | No | Follow @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. | |
| includeHeaders | No | Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata | |
| contactFolderId | Yes | Value for the 'contactFolderId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'contactFolderId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the contact folder object as returned by Microsoft Graph. | |
| excludeResponse | No | Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication |
