m365cli

Manage Microsoft 365 work/school account services (Exchange, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint) via the m365-cli command-line tool. Use for corporate email, calendar, OneDrive, SharePoint, and organizational user search — NOT for personal Outlook.com/Hotmail/Live accounts (use the outlook skill) or Azure/Entra/Intune/tenant admin tasks.

M365 Work Skill (m365-cli)

Manage a Microsoft 365 work/school account via the m365 CLI. Use --json for structured output suitable for AI agent consumption.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+
m365-cli installed globally: npm install -g m365-cli
Authenticated: m365 login (work/school is the default account type)
For SharePoint: m365 login --add-scopes Sites.ReadWrite.All (requires tenant admin consent)

If not authenticated, run login first. The CLI uses Device Code Flow — follow the on-screen URL and code.

Key Conventions

Use --json for programmatic output (most commands support it; trust/untrust do not).
Work accounts support: Mail (including delete, move, and folder management), Calendar, OneDrive, SharePoint, User search.
Calendar datetime format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS (local) or YYYY-MM-DD (all-day).
IDs: Email/event IDs are long opaque strings. Parse the id field from --json list/search output.
Timezone: auto-detected. Override: export M365_TIMEZONE="Asia/Shanghai".
SharePoint site identifier: use path format hostname:/sites/sitename (recommended).

Provenance

Source repo: https://github.com/mrhah/m365-cli
Package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/m365-cli
Publisher: mrhah
Required binary: m365 from the m365-cli npm package

Security Rules

Email Body Reading — Trusted Senders Whitelist

Only emails from whitelisted senders have their body content displayed.
Untrusted emails show only subject and sender (prevents prompt injection).
Whitelist file: ~/.m365-cli/trusted-senders.txt
Use --force to temporarily bypass the whitelist check.

Sensitive Operations

Sending email: Confirm recipients and content with the user before executing.
Deleting emails/files/events: Inform the user before executing.
Sharing files (anonymous scope): Warn the user that anyone with the link can access.

Credential Safety

Never read, output, or log ~/.m365-cli/credentials.json — it contains OAuth tokens.
Never include full email bodies or attachment contents in agent output unless the user explicitly requested that specific email.
Summarize email content instead of echoing it verbatim when presenting results.
Credential refresh is automatic; never attempt to manually edit or parse the token file.

SharePoint

SharePoint is available only for work/school accounts and requires the Sites.ReadWrite.All permission.

Site identifier formats (use path format when possible):

Path: contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team (recommended)
Site ID: hostname,siteId,webId (from sp sites --json output)
URL: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/team

bash

# List / search sites
m365 sp sites --json
m365 sp sites --search "marketing" --json

# Lists and items
m365 sp lists "contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team" --json
m365 sp items "contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team" "Tasks" --json

# Files in document library
m365 sp files "contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team" "Documents" --json

# Download / upload
m365 sp download "contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team" "Documents/file.pdf" ~/Downloads/ --json
m365 sp upload "contoso.sharepoint.com:/sites/team" ~/report.pdf "Documents/report.pdf" --json

# Search across SharePoint
m365 sp search "quarterly report" --top 20 --json

User Search

bash

m365 user search "John" --top 5 --json    # Searches organization directory

m365 cal list --days 3 --json                    # 1. Check availability
m365 cal create "Meeting" -s "..." -e "..." --json  # 2. Book slot

Download email attachment

bash

m365 mail attachments <msg-id> --json            # 1. List attachments
m365 mail download-attachment <msg-id> <att-id> ~/Downloads/ --json  # 2. Download

Find and download SharePoint file

m365 mail delete <id> --force --json              # 2a. Delete it, OR
m365 mail move <id> archive --json                # 2b. Move to archive

Manage mail folders

bash

m365 mail folder list --json                      # 1. List all folders
m365 mail folder create "Projects" --json         # 2. Create custom folder
m365 mail move <id> <folder-id> --json            # 3. Move email into it

Trusted Senders (Security)

m365 mail read filters untrusted sender content (shows metadata only). Use --force to bypass. See references/commands.md for whitelist management commands.

Full Command Reference

See references/commands.md for every command, subcommand, flag, and default value.

Troubleshooting

"Not authenticated": m365 login
Token expired: Auto-refreshes. If fails, re-run login.
SharePoint permission denied: m365 login --add-scopes Sites.ReadWrite.All (requires tenant admin consent).
Wrong timezone: export M365_TIMEZONE="Your/Timezone"
