list-onenote-section-groups
Retrieves all OneNote section groups from the user's notebooks, with support for filtering, sorting, and expanding related sections or nested groups to explore the full hierarchy.
Instructions
Retrieve a list of sectionGroup objects.
💡 TIP: Lists all OneNote section groups (subfolders inside notebooks that contain their own sections and nested section groups) for the user. A section group is a folder-like container — many notebooks use them to organize sections by theme. Default sort is name asc. Supports $expand=sections,sectionGroups,parentNotebook,parentSectionGroup to traverse the full hierarchy. Pair with list-onenote-notebooks for a complete picture of the user's notebook structure.
Input 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 |
