What get-specific-calendar-view does on Ms 365
AI agents call get-specific-calendar-view 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
top | number | — | Page size (Graph $top). Start small (e.g. 5–15) so responses fit the model context; raise only if needed. Use $select to return fewer fields per item. For more |
skip | number | — | Items to skip for pagination. Not supported with $search. |
count | boolean | — | Set true to enable advanced query mode (ConsistencyLevel: eventual). Required for complex $filter on flag/flagStatus or contains(). |
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 |

The rule that runs get-specific-calendar-view 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-specific-calendar-view, this is the rule to start with:
get-specific-calendar-view 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-specific-calendar-view call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about get-specific-calendar-view
List the occurrences, exceptions, and single instances of events over a time range, from one of the signed-in user's calendars addressed by calendar ID. 💡 TIP: Returns expanded recurring event instances (not just seriesMaster) within a date range for a specific calendar. Requires startDateTime and endDateTime query parameters in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z). Each instance includes seriesMasterId and type (occurrence/exception) fields for recurring event linkage. Use fetchAllPages=true to retrieve all results when there are many events.
