# SharePoint Automation

Automate SharePoint operations including managing sites, lists, documents, folders, and pages. Integrates with both SharePoint REST API and Microsoft Graph via OneDrive.

**Toolkit docs:** [composio.dev/toolkits/share_point](https://composio.dev/toolkits/share_point)

---

## Setup

This skill requires the **Rube MCP server** connected at `https://rube.app/mcp`.

Before executing any tools, ensure active connections exist for the `share_point` and `one_drive` toolkits. If no connection is active, initiate one via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS`.

> **Note:** Many OneDrive/SharePoint tools only work with organizational Microsoft 365 accounts (Azure AD/Entra ID). Personal Microsoft accounts are NOT supported.

---

## Core Workflows

### 1. List and Browse Sites

Retrieve site details and enumerate subsites to discover the SharePoint topology.

**Tools:**
- `ONE_DRIVE_GET_SITE_DETAILS` -- Get metadata for a specific site by ID
- `ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SITE_SUBSITES` -- List all subsites of a parent site

**Key Parameters:**
- `site_id` (required) -- Composite format: `hostname,site-collection-guid,web-guid` (e.g., `"contoso.sharepoint.com,da60e844-...,712a596e-..."`)

**Example:**
```
Tool: ONE_DRIVE_GET_SITE_DETAILS
Arguments:
  site_id: "contoso.sharepoint.com,2C712604-1370-44E7-A1F5-426573FDA80A,2D2244C3-251A-49EA-93A8-39E1C3A060FE"
```

### 2. Manage Lists

Create lists, enumerate existing lists, and retrieve list items.

**Tools:**
- `SHARE_POINT_LIST_ALL_LISTS` -- Retrieve all lists on a site (supports OData filter, select, orderby, top)
- `SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_LIST` -- Create a new list with a specified template
- `ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SITE_LISTS` -- List all lists under a site via Microsoft Graph
- `ONE_DRIVE_GET_SHAREPOINT_LIST_ITEMS` -- Retrieve items from a specific list

**Key Parameters for `SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_LIST`:**
- `name` (required) -- List name
- `template` (required) -- Template type: `"genericList"`, `"documentLibrary"`, `"tasks"`, etc.
- `description` -- Optional description

**Key Parameters for `SHARE_POINT_LIST_ALL_LISTS`:**
- `filter` -- OData filter, e.g., `"Hidden eq false"`
- `select` -- Properties to return, e.g., `"Title,Id"`
- `orderby` -- Sort expression, e.g., `"Title desc"`
- `top` -- Limit results count

**Example:**
```
Tool: SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_LIST
Arguments:
  name: "Project Tasks"
  template: "tasks"
  description: "Task tracking for Q1 deliverables"
```

### 3. Manage Folders and Files

Create folders, list files within folders, and navigate the document library.

**Tools:**
- `SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_FOLDER` -- Create a new folder in a document library
- `SHARE_POINT_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER` -- List files within a folder by server-relative URL
- `SHARE_POINT_GET_FOLDER_BY_SERVER_RELATIVE_URL` -- Get folder metadata by path

**Key Parameters for `SHARE_POINT_SHAREPOINT_CREATE_FOLDER`:**
- `folder_name` (required) -- Name of the folder to create
- `document_library` -- Target library (default: `"Shared Documents"`)
- `relative_path` -- Additional path within the library

**Key Parameters for `SHARE_POINT_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER`:**
- `folder_name` (required) -- Server-relative URL, e.g., `"/Shared Documents"`
- `select` -- Comma-separated properties, e.g., `"Name,ServerRelativeUrl,Length"`
- `top` -- Limit results count
- `orderby` -- Sort expression, e.g., `"Name desc"`

**Example:**
```
Tool: SHARE_POINT_LIST_FILES_IN_FOLDER
Arguments:
  folder_name: "/Shared Documents/Reports"
  select: "Name,ServerRelativeUrl,Length"
  top: 50
```

### 4. Search SharePoint Content

Use Keyword Query Language (KQL) to search documents, list items, and other content across the site.

**Tool:** `SHARE_POINT_SEARCH_QUERY`

**Key Parameters:**
- `querytext` (required) -- KQL query, e.g., `"project report"`, `"FileType:docx"`, `"Author:\"John Doe\""`
- `rowlimit` -- Max results per request (default ~50, max 500)
- `startrow` -- Zero-based offset for pagination
- `selectproperties` -- Properties to return, e.g., `"Title,Author,Path"`
- `refinementfilters` -- Narrow results, e.g., `"FileType:equals(\"docx\")"`

**Example:**
```
Tool: SHARE_POINT_SEARCH_QUERY
Arguments:
  querytext: "IsDocument:1 FileType:pdf"
  rowlimit: 25
  selectproperties: "Title,Author,Path,LastModifiedTime"
```

---

### 5. Track List Changes (Delta Query)

Use delta queries to get incremental changes (created, updated, deleted items) without reading the entire list.

**Tool:** `ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SHAREPOINT_LIST_ITEMS_DELTA`

**Key Parameters:**
- `site_id` (required) -- Composite site ID
- `list_id` (required) -- List GUID
- `token` -- Omit for initial sync; pass `"latest"` for empty response with token; pass previous token for changes since
- `expand` -- e.g., `"fields($select=ColumnA,ColumnB)"`
- `top` -- Max items per response

---

### 6. Retrieve Site Page Content

Read modern SharePoint Site Pages content including canvas web parts.

**Tool:** `SHARE_POINT_GET_SITE_PAGE_CONTENT`

**Key Parameters:**
- `page_file_name` -- File name with `.aspx` extension, e.g., `"Home.aspx"`
- `item_id` -- Alternative: list item ID of the page
- `render_as` -- `"raw"` (default), `"text"`, or `"html"`
- `site` -- Optional site name scope

## Known Pitfalls

| Pitfall | Detail |
|---------|--------|
| **Site ID format** | Must be composite: `hostname,site-collection-guid,web-guid`. Incorrect format causes 400 errors. |
| **Personal accounts unsupported** | `ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SITE_LISTS` and Graph-based tools only work with organizational M365 accounts, not personal MSA/Outlook.com accounts. |
| **OData filter syntax** | SharePoint OData filters use specific syntax. Test filters incrementally; unsupported expressions may silently return empty results. |
| **Pagination** | Use `skiptoken` for server-side paging in list operations. Incomplete pagination settings can miss results. |
| **Folder paths** | Must use server-relative URLs (e.g., `/Shared Documents`) not absolute URLs. |
