Explain how Microsoft Graph API pagination works with @odata.nextLink, and how to iterate all pages of results.
AI agents call graph_explain_pagination to retrieve information from Ms Graph Dev without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool exclusively reads and explains pagination mechanisms; it does not construct requests that would execute against Microsoft Graph, modify data, delete resources, or move financial assets. It is purely informational/educational in nature, making it a Read category tool with low severity risk.
From the tool's definition Tool provides explanatory information about 'how Microsoft Graph API pagination works' and 'how to iterate all pages of results' — it returns documentation and guidance without executing queries, modifying data, or triggering side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Explain how Microsoft Graph API pagination works with @odata.nextLink, and how to iterate all pages of results. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Ms Graph Dev MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Ms Graph Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for graph_explain_pagination: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ms Graph Dev. Nothing to install.
graph_explain_pagination 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 graph_explain_pagination 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 graph_explain_pagination. 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.
graph_explain_pagination is provided by the Ms Graph Dev MCP server (stubbedev/ms-graph-dev-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
