Tools & capabilities

AgentLair tools 15

  • claim_addressClaim a new @agentlair.dev email address for your agent. No DNS or SMTP setup required. Free tier: up to 3 addresses.
  • send_emailSend an email from an @agentlair.dev address you own to any recipient. No SMTP setup needed.
  • check_inboxCheck the inbox for an @agentlair.dev address. Returns recent messages with sender, subject, and received time.
  • read_messageRead the full content of a specific email message, including the body. Use message IDs from check_inbox.
  • list_addressesList all @agentlair.dev addresses claimed on your account.
  • vault_putStore a value in the AgentLair Vault. Use this to persist API keys, secrets, or any data your agent needs across sessions. Best practice: encrypt sensitive data client-side before storing (the server stores whatever you send).
  • vault_getRetrieve a stored value from the AgentLair Vault by key name.
  • vault_listList all keys stored in your AgentLair Vault (metadata only, values not returned).
  • vault_deleteDelete a key and all its versions from the AgentLair Vault.
  • calendar_create_eventCreate a calendar event on your AgentLair calendar. Events are published via iCal feed for human subscription (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook).
  • calendar_list_eventsList events on your AgentLair calendar. Optionally filter by date range.
  • calendar_delete_eventDelete an event from your AgentLair calendar by event ID. Use calendar_list_events to find event IDs.

Ms 365 MCP Server tools 19

  • loginAuthenticate with Microsoft account
  • logoutLog out from Microsoft account
  • verify-loginCheck current Microsoft authentication status
  • list-accountsList all Microsoft accounts configured in this server. Use this to discover available account emails before making tool calls. Reflects accounts added mid-session via --login.
  • select-accountSelect a Microsoft account as the default. Accepts email address (e.g. user@outlook.com) or account ID. Use list-accounts to discover available accounts.
  • remove-accountRemove a Microsoft account from the cache. Accepts email address (e.g. user@outlook.com) or account ID. Use list-accounts to discover available accounts.
  • graph-batchCombine up to 20 Graph requests into a single HTTP call. Body: { requests: [{ id: '1', method: 'GET'|'POST'|'PATCH'|'DELETE', url: '/me/messages?$top=5', headers?: {...}, body?: {...}, dependsOn?: ['1'] }, ...] }. Returns { responses: [{ id, status, body, headers }] } in arbitrary order — match by id. Use cases: (1) parallelize many small reads (e.g. fetch 15 mail messages by id in one round-trip); (2) sequence dependent writes via dependsOn; (3) batch many Excel range writes into one call to dramatically reduce latency on large workbook builds. Note: each sub-request URL is relative to the Graph version root (/me/..., /drives/..., NOT https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/...). 💡 TIP: Combine up to 20 Graph requests into a single HTTP call. Body: { requests: [{ id: '1', method: 'GET'|'POST'|'PATCH'|'DELETE', url: '/me/messages?$top=5', headers?: {...}, body?: {...}, dependsOn?: ['1'] }, ...] }. Returns { responses: [{ id, status, body, headers }] } in arbitrary order — match by id. Use cases: (1) parallelize many small reads (e.g. fetch 15 mail messages by id in one round-trip); (2) sequence dependent writes via dependsOn; (3) batch many Excel range writes into one call to dramatically reduce latency on large workbook builds. Note: each sub-request URL is relative to the Graph version root (/me/..., /drives/..., NOT https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/...).
  • list-subscriptionsRetrieve the properties and relationships of webhook subscriptions, based on the app ID, the user, and the user's role with a tenant. The content of the response depends on the context in which the app is calling; for details, see the scenarios in the Permissions section. 💡 TIP: Lists webhook subscriptions owned by the current app/user. Returns id, resource, changeType, notificationUrl, expirationDateTime, clientState. Use $filter=resource eq '/me/messages' to find subscriptions for a specific resource. No dedicated 'Subscription.*' scope exists — the caller must already have a read permission for the subscribed resource (e.g. Mail.Read for /me/messages), which is supplied by the tool that reads that resource.
  • create-subscriptionSubscribes a listener application to receive change notifications when the requested type of changes occur to the specified resource in Microsoft Graph. To identify the resources for which you can create subscriptions and the limitations on subscriptions, see Set up notifications for changes in resource data: Supported resources. Some resources support rich notifications, that is, notifications that include resource data. For more information about these resources, see Set up change notifications that include resource data: Supported resources. 💡 TIP: Creates a webhook subscription for change notifications. Required body: { changeType (comma-separated: 'created,updated,deleted'), notificationUrl (HTTPS, must validate with token echo), resource (e.g. '/me/mailFolders/inbox/messages', '/users/{id}/events', '/teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages'), expirationDateTime (ISO 8601, max varies by resource type — 1 hour for calls, 24h for messages, 3 days for mail), clientState (opaque string returned in notifications, for validation) }. Optional: includeResourceData (true enables rich notifications, requires encryptionCertificate + encryptionCertificateId). No dedicated scope — caller must have a read permission for the target resource (e.g. Mail.Read, Calendars.Read, ChannelMessage.Read.All, Files.Read.All).
  • get-subscriptionRetrieve the properties and relationships of a subscription. See the table in the Permissions section for the list of resources that support subscribing to change notifications. 💡 TIP: Gets a specific webhook subscription by id. Use list-subscriptions to find the id. Returns full subscription details including resource, changeType, notificationUrl, expirationDateTime, applicationId.
  • update-subscriptionRenew a subscription by extending its expiry time. The table in the Permissions section lists the resources that support subscribing to change notifications. Subscriptions expire after a length of time that varies by resource type. In order to avoid missing change notifications, an app should renew its subscriptions well in advance of their expiry date. See subscription for maximum length of a subscription for each resource type. 💡 TIP: Renews a webhook subscription by extending its expiration. Body: { expirationDateTime (ISO 8601, new expiry) }. Call before the current expirationDateTime to avoid missing notifications. Max extension varies by resource type — check Microsoft Graph docs for subscription limits.
  • delete-subscriptionDelete a subscription. For the list of resources that support subscribing to change notifications, see the table in the Permissions section. 💡 TIP: Deletes a webhook subscription. No further change notifications will be sent. Use this to clean up stale subscriptions or stop receiving notifications. Use list-subscriptions to find the id.
