Microsoft OneDrive

Agent-callable tools for Microsoft OneDrive, over the Microsoft Graph API v1.0 (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/...): browse and search files and folders; upload, download and convert, move, copy, and delete them; and create and manage sharing links and per-person permissions. 20 scripts across drives, files & folders, and sharing & permissions. Every file tool defaults to the caller's own OneDrive and takes an optional driveId to target another drive; read tools resolve the ids the write tools need (itemId, driveId, permissionId, and the copy monitorUrl). Shared content is reached with findItemsByKql (search) or getItemByShareUrl (resolve a pasted link).

Independent, unofficial connector for Microsoft OneDrive. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft OneDrive. "Microsoft OneDrive" is a trademark of its owner, used only to identify the service this connector works with.

When to use this

• An agent needs to find or read OneDrive content — check a drive's storage quota, list a folder's contents, search a drive, resolve a shared link, or read a file's metadata (with a short-lived download URL).
• An agent needs to work with files — create folders, upload text or binary files, replace a file's contents, move / rename, copy (async), export to PDF / HTML / JPG, or delete.
• An agent needs to share and manage access — create sharing links, invite named people, and list or revoke permissions.
• An agent needs to reach shared content — search across items shared with the caller via KQL, or turn a pasted OneDrive/SharePoint sharing URL into an actionable item.

Setup

This is an agentskills.io skill.

If the connector has not been installed as a skill yet, install it first with npx skills add zapier/connectors --skill microsoft-onedrive (or your harness's own skill-install mechanism), then continue here. Installing the skill copies these files, not dependencies. Before running the CLI, a local MCP server, or zapier-sdk auth commands, run npm install --omit=dev here once. Importing the published package as a dependency in your own project instead? That npm install already resolves everything — see references/use-as-sdk.md.

Want the actual repo source instead — to browse references/, run this connector's tests, or hack on it? See README.md for a scoped git clone.

The connector runs on Node.js 22.18+. Pick the reference that matches how you're running it, and load it before doing anything else:

You have...	Load
An MCP-aware client — tools may already be loaded (e.g. mcp__microsoft-onedrive__<tool>), or you can register a local server yourself (or guide the user to)	references/use-as-mcp.md
Terminal / subprocess access (you can run node)	references/use-as-cli.md
Only your own code, importing this package as a dependency	references/use-as-sdk.md
No tool access, no terminal, no ability to import this package — you write your own code that calls the Microsoft OneDrive API directly (e.g. a code-execution sandbox)	references/use-as-recipe.md

Scripts

All scripts use the single connection microsoft-onedrive, except getCopyStatus, which needs no connection (it polls a pre-authenticated monitor URL). Every file/folder tool takes an optional driveId — omit it for the caller's own OneDrive, or pass one from listDrives (or a shared item's remoteItem.parentReference.driveId) to target another drive.

Disambiguation & refusals

Disambiguation before a write. Before writing to a file or folder you looked up by name — from findFiles, findItemsByKql, or listFolderItems — count the exact case-insensitive name matches:

• Exactly one match — act on it. Don't over-ask; a single unambiguous match is the answer.
• Two or more that tie — stop. List the tied candidates with a distinguishing field (parentReference.path, webUrl, lastModifiedDateTime, or id) and ask which one the user means. Don't pick arbitrarily, and don't write to all of them. File names collide constantly across folders (e.g. two report.docx).

Unsupported operations — say so and stop; don't fake it with another tool. This catalog deliberately does not:

• Trigger on new or changed files (new-file / new-or-updated-file polling). Triggers aren't exposed. Don't simulate one by repeatedly listing or searching and reporting a "trigger."
• Move a file across drives (no native cross-drive move). moveItem is same-drive only. Relocating across drives means copyItem → (getCopyStatus) → deleteItem, which is lossy: the copy gets a new id and URL, and its sharing links and permissions don't carry over. You may perform this when asked to move a file to another drive, but never present it as a plain "move": warn the user it's a copy-then-delete, confirm the copy succeeded via getCopyStatus before deleting the original, and report the new location. Never silently copy-delete and report a completed move.
• Enumerate everything shared with the user. This catalog doesn't expose a "list shared with me" tool. Reach shared content via findItemsByKql (search) or getItemByShareUrl (resolve a pasted link).
• Restore from the recycle bin, read/write Excel workbook ranges, sync a change feed (delta), or manage file versions/thumbnails. These aren't exposed. deleteItem is recoverable only by a user in the OneDrive UI, not via a follow-up call here.

If asked for any of these, tell the user it's unsupported and stop — don't reach for an unrelated tool to approximate it.

Auth

Every shape passes auth as one connection selector, not the secret — a [<resolver>:]<value> string. Every connector accepts zapier:<connection-id> (Zapier-managed auth — routes through Zapier's auth, retries, and governance layer); some also accept one or more direct-token resolvers (naming and count vary per connector) — check this connector's own resolvers rather than assuming. The <resolver>: prefix is optional; a bare value goes to the first resolver that claims it — a UUID-shaped bare value always claims zapier:. Each script declares the connections it needs and the resolvers each accepts. The exact syntax for passing a connection (and how to see this connector's resolver list) differs by shape — see the reference you loaded above.

Checking what's already configured first? Don't dump environment values to do it — env or env | grep <name> prints the value along with the name, leaking a live credential into the transcript if one is set. Check names only (env | cut -d= -f1 | grep -i <name>) or test a known name directly ([ -n "$VAR_NAME" ]).

No connection yet? Pick one — and follow the reference's own flow to obtain it; never just ask the user for a connection id or token as if they already have one memorized:

	Load
Pass the credential directly	references/use-without-zapier.md
Route it through a Zapier connection	references/use-with-zapier.md

Output format

Every script returns a { data, meta } envelope:

• data — the script's result (the shape its outputSchema declares; see the reference you loaded above for how to inspect a script's exact schema in your shape).
• meta.outputDataValidation — what validating data did:
  • { skipped: false, droppedPaths: null } — validated, nothing removed.
  • { skipped: false, droppedPaths: [...], instruction } — validated, but those paths were stripped from data: fields the script returned from the API that the outputSchema doesn't declare. If you need them, re-run with output validation skipped.
  • { skipped: true } — validation was bypassed; data is the raw, unchecked script output.

Reading dropped fields / skipOutputDataValidation. To receive the raw, unvalidated result, opt out of output validation (the exact syntax differs by shape — see the reference you loaded above). Input validation is never skipped.

Trimming the result / filterOutputData. To shrink a large result down to the fields you need, pass a jq expression that post-processes data (again, exact syntax per shape). The jq runs against data only, NOT the { data, meta } envelope, so write it rooted at data (run the script's --help — or your shape's equivalent — to see its output schema). The transformed value replaces data, meta is preserved, and the result is NOT re-validated against the output schema.
