Read-only

Lists available Drive resources for a user, group, or site, with pagination, search, and filtering options.

Instructions

Retrieve the list of Drive resources available for a target User, Group, or Site.

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
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint: true and destructiveHint: false, so the description's verb 'Retrieve' is consistent but adds no further behavioral context such as authentication needs, rate limits, or side effects. The description does not go beyond the 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?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the main purpose. It is concise and front-loaded, but it could be expanded slightly to include usage context without becoming verbose.

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

Completeness2/5

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

While the input schema is comprehensive, the description lacks information about what the response contains, how to interpret the list, and the fact that it targets a specific user/group/site (implied but not explicit). No output schema exists, so the description should compensate.

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 description coverage is 100% with detailed parameter descriptions for pagination, filtering, etc. The tool description adds no additional parameter-level information, so it is at the baseline of 3 per the guidelines.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves a list of Drive resources, using the verb 'Retrieve' and specifying the resource 'Drive resources'. However, it does not differentiate from sibling list tools like 'list-folder-files' or 'get-drive-item', which also retrieve Drive-related data.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. There are many sibling list tools, and the description lacks context about when this tool is appropriate or when to use others like 'list-folder-files' or 'get-drive-item'.

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