list-contact-folders
Read-only
Lists the user's Outlook contact folders, including the built-in 'Contacts' folder and user-created folders. Use to obtain folder IDs for managing contacts.
Instructions
Get the contact folder collection in the default Contacts folder of the signed-in user.
đź’ˇ TIP: Lists the user's Outlook contact folders (the named buckets that organize contacts). Always includes the built-in 'Contacts' folder; user-created folders also appear. Returns id, displayName, and parentFolderId. To identify the default folder, match displayName === 'Contacts'. Use this before list-contact-folder-contacts or create-contact-in-folder to discover folder ids. Supports OData query parameters.
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. | |
| search | No | KQL search query — wrap value in double quotes. Cannot combine with $filter. | |
| filter | No | OData filter expression. Add $count=true for advanced filters (flag/flagStatus, contains()). Cannot combine with $search. | |
| count | No | Set true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains(). | |
| orderby | No | Sort expression, e.g. receivedDateTime desc | |
| select | No | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime | |
| expand | No | Expand related entities | |
| 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 | |
| excludeResponse | No | Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication |
