What get_upload_config does on Microsoft Graph MCP Server

AI agents call get_upload_config to retrieve information from Microsoft Graph MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why get_upload_config needs a policy

Despite being part of an upload workflow, this specific tool only reads and returns configuration data (an endpoint URL and a curl command string). The actual file upload is performed by a separate step (executing the returned curl command). By itself, this tool has no side effects beyond returning information, placing it in the Read category.

From the tool's definition 'Get the authenticated upload endpoint URL and curl command for uploading files' — the tool itself only retrieves configuration (URL and curl command); it does not perform the upload itself.
