list-focused-inbox-overrides

Read-only

Lists Focused Inbox classification overrides, showing sender addresses and whether their messages are forced into the Focused or Other tab.

Instructions

Get the overrides that a user has set up to always classify messages from certain senders in specific ways. Each override corresponds to an SMTP address of a sender. Initially, a user does not have any overrides.

💡 TIP: Lists Focused Inbox classification overrides — explicit rules that force messages from a given sender (by SMTP address) into either the Focused or Other tab, regardless of what the Outlook ML classifier would predict. Each override has id, classifyAs ('focused' or 'other'), and senderEmailAddress {name, address}. Returns an empty collection if the user has never set an override.

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?

The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it describes the structure of each override and that returns empty collection if user has set none. Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so no contradiction.

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, front-loads the core purpose, and provides a separate tip for additional context. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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?

Despite lacking an output schema, the description adequately explains the return structure and behavior (empty if none). Given the high schema coverage and annotations, it is sufficiently complete for an agent to understand the tool.

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 all 11 parameters. The tool description does not add new information about parameters beyond the schema, so 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 the action (get) and resource (overrides for focused inbox classification) with specific details about what each override represents (SMTP address of sender). It distinguishes from sibling tools like create/update/delete-focused-inbox-override.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description includes a tip explaining the purpose of overrides and the return structure (id, classifyAs, senderEmailAddress). While it doesn't explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives, the context implies it's for reading, contrasting with CRUD siblings.

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