What get-my-profile does on Ms 365
AI agents call get-my-profile to retrieve information from Ms 365 without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
expand | array | — | Navigation properties to inline, e.g. attachments on a message or event. Only navigation properties can be expanded: expanding a non-navigation property such as |
select | string | — | Comma-separated fields to return, e.g. id,subject,from,receivedDateTime |
fetchAllPages | boolean | — | Follow @odata.nextLink and merge up to 100 pages into one response. Can return enormous payloads—only when the user explicitly needs a full export. Prefer a sma |
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 |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why get-my-profile is rated Low
Even though get-my-profile only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get-my-profile 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 get-my-profile, this is the rule to start with:
get-my-profile is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ms 365, apply this rule, and every get-my-profile call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get-my-profile
[beta] Retrieve the properties and relationships of a profile object for a given user. The profile resource exposes various rich properties that are descriptive of the user as relationships, for example, anniversaries and education activities. To get one of these navigation properties, use the corresponding GET method on that property. See the methods exposed by profile. 💡 TIP: Retrieves the signed-in user's rich profile - a richer object than get-current-user, exposing relationships like skills, projects, languages, education and work positions. Use $expand to pull related collections (e.g. $expand=skills,projects). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ms 365 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
get-my-profile accepts 5 parameters: expand, select, fetchAllPages, includeHeaders, excludeResponse. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

get-my-profile is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get-my-profile rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get-my-profile. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
