OneNote Notes

Manage OneNote notebooks, sections, pages, and page content via Microsoft Graph API. Use this skill when users want to read, create, or update OneNote pages, manage sections and notebooks, and work with page content as HTML via the OneNote API.

Access OneNote via Microsoft Graph API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage notebooks, sections, and pages; read and update page content as HTML; and navigate the OneNote hierarchy.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure OneNote API 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.

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 OneNote again."

Quick Start

# List user's notebooks
clawlink_call_tool --tool "onenote_list_user_notebooks" --params '{"user_id": "me"}'

# List sections in a notebook
clawlink_call_tool --tool "onenote_list_user_notebook_sections" --params '{"user_id": "me", "notebook_id": "NOTEBOOK_ID"}'

# Get page content
clawlink_call_tool --tool "onenote_get_me_section_page_content" --params '{"section_id": "SECTION_ID", "page_id": "PAGE_ID"}'

Authentication

All OneNote 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=onenote and connect OneNote.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

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

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration onenote

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for OneNote.

Reconnect

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

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

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to notebooks, sections, and pages 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 page content, delete section) must be confirmed.
• Copy operations are asynchronous — poll the operation status endpoint until complete.

      }
    ]
  }'

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm OneNote is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration onenote 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 onenote.
5. If no OneNote tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onenote.

Execution Workflow

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  READ OPERATIONS (Safe)                                     │
│  list → get → search → describe → call                      │
│                                                             │
│  Example: List notebooks → Read sections → Show results    │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                              │
                              ▼
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  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

• Page content must be provided as valid HTML with proper html, head, and body tags.
• Asynchronous copy operations return a 202 Accepted with an Operation-Location header — poll this endpoint to check completion.
• Section names must be 50 characters or fewer and cannot contain: ?*/:<>|&#''%~.
• Notebook names must be 128 characters or fewer and cannot contain: ?*\/:<>|&'".
• Only the displayName property can be updated on sections — other properties are read-only.

Error Handling

Status / Error	Meaning
Tool not found	The tool name does not exist in the current catalog. Verify with clawlink_list_tools --integration onenote.
Missing connection	OneNote is not connected. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=onenote.
notFound	Notebook, section, or page does not exist. Check the ID.
InvalidArgument	Invalid parameter or missing required field. Review the tool schema with clawlink_describe_tool.
Operation pending	Async operation still in progress. Poll the Operation-Location endpoint.
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:

   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:

   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 onenote.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
