OneDrive Files

Browse, search, download, and share OneDrive files, create folders, upload files, and manage file actions via Microsoft Graph. Use this skill when users want to manage OneDrive files, SharePoint documents, sharing links, and drive metadata using the Microsoft Graph API.

Access OneDrive and SharePoint via Microsoft Graph API with managed OAuth authentication. Browse files, search folders, inspect details, create folders, share links, upload files, and manage drive metadata.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Microsoft Graph access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

bash

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for OneDrive again."

Quick Start

bash

# List items in OneDrive root
clawlink_call_tool --tool "one_drive_onedrive_list_items" --params '{}'

# Search for files
clawlink_call_tool --tool "one_drive_search_items" --params '{"query": "report.xlsx"}'

# Get file metadata
clawlink_call_tool --tool "one_drive_get_item" --params '{"item_id": "FILE_ID"}'

Authentication

All OneDrive tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Microsoft account.

No API key is required in chat. ClawLink stores the OAuth token securely and injects it into every Microsoft Graph request on the user's behalf.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onedrive and connect OneDrive.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

bash

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for onedrive in the list.

Verify Connection

bash

clawlink_list_tools --integration onedrive

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for OneDrive.

Reconnect

If OneDrive tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onedrive
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration onedrive

Security& Permissions

• Access is scoped to files, folders, and drive data within the connected Microsoft account.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (delete file, remove sharing permission) must be confirmed.
• Sharing link creation grants external access — confirm the recipient and permission level.

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm OneDrive is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration onedrive to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration onedrive.
5. If no OneDrive tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onedrive.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  WRITE OPERATIONS (Require Confirmation)                     │
│  list → get → describe → preview → confirm → call           │
│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves   │
│           → Execute update                                  │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• Item IDs containing { and } must be URL-encoded (%7B and %7D) in raw Graph URLs. ClawLink handles this automatically.
• Large file uploads (>4 MB) use chunked upload sessions — do not assume the upload is complete immediately.
• Deleted items are moved to the recycle bin, not permanently deleted, unless using delete_item_permanently.
• Sharing links have independent availability — thumbnail URLs are external HTTP endpoints.
• Rate limit errors (HTTP 429) include a Retry-After header — use exponential backoff.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration onedrive.
Missing connection	OneDrive is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onedrive.
ItemNotFound	File or folder does not exist. Check the item_id or path.
nameAlreadyExists	A file or folder with that name already exists at the destination.
InvalidArgument	Invalid parameter or missing required field. Review the tool schema with clawlink_describe_tool.
Write rejected	User did not confirm a write action. Always confirm before executing writes.

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   bash

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   bash

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly onedrive.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
