Conduct compliance assessments and generate detailed reports on regulatory adherence and security controls.
AI agents call manage_compliance_assessments to retrieve information from Microsoft 365 Core MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool's description focuses on conducting assessments and generating reports, which are primarily read/query operations. The word 'conduct' could imply some write operations (e.g., triggering assessments), but the emphasis on generating reports suggests data retrieval and analysis.
