WHAT IT DOES

What copy-drive-item does on Ms 365

AI agents use copy-drive-item to create or update resources in Ms 365, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ms 365 environment.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`body`	object	Yes
`confirm`	boolean	—	For 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 app
`driveId`	string	Yes	Value for the 'driveId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'driveId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the drive object as returned by Microsoft Graph.
`driveItemId`	string	Yes	Value for the 'driveItemId' path segment. Pass it under the name 'driveItemId', not as 'id'. Use the 'id' field of the drive item object as returned by Microsof
`includeHeaders`	boolean	—	Include response headers (including ETag) in the response metadata
`excludeResponse`	boolean	—	Exclude the full response body and only return success or failure indication

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs copy-drive-item safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ms 365, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For copy-drive-item, this is the rule to start with:

copy-drive-item Rate-limited

copy-drive-item stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
