## Capabilities

- Search Microsoft 365 mailboxes with KQL across folders.
- Query one mail folder with OData filters, sorting, selection, and pagination.
- List calendars, inspect events, retrieve calendar views, and check free or busy schedules.
- List and create Outlook contacts and contact folders.
- List or create mail folders and download selected message attachments.

## Use Cases

- Triage Priority Messages: Find unread high-priority messages, summarize matching metadata, and identify messages that need follow-up.
- Review Calendar Availability: Inspect events within a defined time window and report free or busy information in the requested timezone.
- Organize Contacts and Folders: Review existing Outlook structures, then create approved contacts or folders with explicit confirmation.

## Prompt Templates

### Find Recent Emails

```
Search my Microsoft 365 mailbox for messages from [sender] received after [date]. Return subjects, senders, timestamps, and message identifiers.
```

### Filter One Folder

```
List unread high-importance emails in [folder]. Use current tool schemas, paginate fully, and return only sender, subject, received time, and attachment status.
```

### Review Calendar and Availability

```
Review calendar events from [start] to [end] in [timezone]. Expand recurring events and summarize conflicts before checking free or busy status.
```

### Plan a Confirmed Organization Workflow

```
Inspect my existing mail and contact folders. Propose changes for [goal], show every planned mutation, and wait for explicit confirmation before creating anything.
```

## Limitations

- Rube MCP and an active Microsoft OAuth connection are required.
- Cross-folder message search requires a Microsoft 365 or Enterprise account.
- Personal Outlook and Hotmail accounts have limited API access.
- The skill provides workflow guidance but does not define every current tool schema.

## Best Practices

- Call the tool-search function first and follow the returned current schema.
- Use the narrowest query, folder, date range, fields, and result count needed.
- Preview results and require confirmation before downloads or account changes.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not assume documented parameters remain current without searching tool schemas.
- Do not mix email properties with calendar event properties.
- Do not download attachments or create account objects from ambiguous requests.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-08-04T17:02:17.658\+00:00
- Summary: The static analyzer misclassified Markdown code spans and Outlook identifiers as shell execution or system reconnaissance. The skill has genuine network, OAuth data-access, attachment, and account-mutation risks because it delegates Outlook operations to an external MCP service.
