Destructive

Post updates to a Microsoft Planner task's modern chat where teammates can see them. Supports @mentions and HTML, replacing deprecated task comments.

Instructions

[beta] Create a new plannerTaskChatMessage on a plannerTask.

šŸ’” TIP: Posts a message to a Planner task's chat (the modern 'task chat', not the legacy conversationThreadId comment). Microsoft is retiring the classic task comments experience and hiding it from the task (Planner 2026 update), so task chat is the current supported way to post per-task updates teammates will see, with @mentions. Body: { content: 'plain text or sanitized HTML', mentions?: [{ mentioned: 'user-id', position: 0, mentionType: 'user' }] } (mentions optional). No ETag/If-Match required. BETA Graph API: subject to change; delegated work/school accounts only — no application permissions, no personal Microsoft accounts, global cloud only (not GCC/DoD/21Vianet).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
bodyYes
confirmNoFor destructive operations when the confirm gate is enabled (MS365_MCP_REQUIRE_CONFIRM=true; off by default). Set to true only after the user has explicitly approved this action. When the gate is on, calls without confirm: true return { error: "confirmation_required" } without touching user data.
plannerTaskIdYesValue for the 'plannerTaskId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'plannerTaskId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the planner task object as returned by Microsoft Graph.
includeHeadersNoInclude response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
excludeResponseNoExclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication

TDQS

A4.6/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations say readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=true; the description doesn't contradict those, and it goes well beyond them by disclosing the beta status, BETA Graph API volatility, exact account/authentication limits, environmental cloud limitation, and the no-ETag requirement. This substantially reduces the risk of misinvocation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is dense but every sentence earns its place: operation, usage context, body format, optimistic caveat, authentication restrictions, and cloud limitations. It is front-loaded with the core action and the practical tip, and doesn't merely repeat the schema.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description fully explains the operational context, supported message content, mentions, auth/profile constraints, and beta flags, making tool selection and invocation correct without prior knowledge. A brief note about what the create call returns would be nice, but the absence of a return-value shape doesn't block the intended call.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is about 80%, so the baseline is 3, but the description adds real parameter-level value by giving a compact body grammar: content is 'plain text or sanitized HTML', mentions are optional and contain user-id/position/mentionType. It lets an agent compose the core body without fully parsing the nested schema structure.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states the action ('Create a new plannerTaskChatMessage'), the target ('on a plannerTask'), and the context ('task chat' vs the legacy conversationThreadId comment). This makes the tool's purpose unmistakable and distinct from the related planner task message list/delete/update tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The TIP clearly says when to use it: to post per-task updates teammates will see, using the modern task chat rather than the retired classic comments experience. It also gives hard boundary conditions (delegated work/school accounts, no application permissions, no sovereign clouds). It doesn't explicitly name a sibling tool as the alternative, but the legacy path is not a sibling tool here, so the guidance is strong.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
