Introduction In a previous post, I detailed the steps for Building a Copilot Agent with Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and Microsoft Graph Plugin to list my ToDo Tasks. However, I encountered issues with the CreateTask function when using an OpenAPI spec generated with Kiota. Upon investigation, I identified the problem as being related to the handling of complex objects, particularly those involving dates. Even after simplifying the object structure, the CreateTask function continued to fail.

Introduction When working with the UserInformationList in SharePoint via Microsoft Graph, you might encounter challenges when trying to search or filter user information. This post highlights the issues I faced while attempting to use $search and $filter queries on the UserInformationList, along with examples and insights within M365 Copilot declarative agent. Issue 1: Search by Email Did Not Work I attempted to search for a user by their email address using the $search query, but it did not return any results.

Introduction In this post, I’ll walk you through how to call Azure AI Search APIs from a M365 Copilot declarative agent without writing any code by using Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit. Leveraging OpenAPI specifications, Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit (previously known as Teams Toolkit) enables seamless integration with Azure AI Search, streamlining the development process for Copilot extensibility. Waldek Mastykarz wrote an insightful post on when Azure AI Search can be used, highlighting its ability to provide a more controlled approach to indexing and relevance without the complexity of building a custom engine agent.
