list-drive-item-versions

Read-only

Lists version history of a file in OneDrive or SharePoint. Retrieve metadata for each version including last modified date, user, and size.

Instructions

The list of previous versions of the item. For more info, see getting previous versions. Read-only. Nullable.

đź’ˇ TIP: Lists version history of a file. Each version has id, lastModifiedDateTime, lastModifiedBy, and size. Use the version id with /versions/{id}/content to download a specific version.

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
driveIdYesPath parameter: driveId
driveItemIdYesPath parameter: driveItemId
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?

The description adds value beyond annotations by specifying that the tool is read-only and nullable, matching the readOnlyHint annotation. It also details the response structure (id, lastModifiedDateTime, lastModifiedBy, size), which is not captured in annotations. No contradictions.

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 concise, with a clear first sentence stating the purpose, followed by a tip providing actionable information. Every sentence is relevant and earns its place.

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?

Considering the tool's complexity (13 parameters, no output schema), the description provides useful context about return fields and a follow-up action. It is complete enough for most use cases, though it could mention pagination or other behavioral details.

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?

Schema coverage is 100%, with detailed parameter descriptions. The tool description does not add significant meaning beyond the schema; it mentions the version id usage but does not elaborate on parameters like $filter or $top. 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?

The description clearly states it lists previous versions of a drive item, specifying the fields included (id, lastModifiedDateTime, lastModifiedBy, size). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like list-folder-files or list-drive-item-permissions, which target different resources.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description implies usage for viewing version history and hints at subsequent actions (downloading a specific version via its id). However, it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus other list tools, nor does it provide exclusion criteria or alternatives.

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