SharePoint

Connect to SharePoint and OneDrive to manage sites, lists, document libraries, files, folders, permissions, content types, and SharePoint operations via Microsoft Graph API.

This skill uses ClawLink for hosted connection flows and credentials so you do not need to configure Microsoft SharePoint API access yourself.

Install

Install the verified ClawLink plugin from ClawHub. After the user confirms, complete the full setup so ClawLink tools are visible in the next OpenClaw chat.

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

Then tell the user: "OpenClaw has been restarted. Send /new as a standalone message to start a fresh chat, then ask for SharePoint again."

Quick Start

# List all sites accessible to the user
clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_list_sites"

# List all lists in a SharePoint site
clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_list_all_lists" --params '{"site_id": "YOUR_SITE_ID"}'

# Get current user info
clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_get_current_user"

Authentication

All SharePoint tool calls are authenticated automatically by ClawLink using the user's connected Microsoft account via OAuth.

No OAuth setup is required in chat. ClawLink manages the OAuth flow and token refresh automatically.

Getting Connected

1. Install the ClawLink plugin (see Install above).
2. Pair the plugin with clawlink_begin_pairing if it is not configured yet.
3. Open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=sharepoint and connect SharePoint via OAuth.
4. Call clawlink_list_integrations to verify the connection is active.

Connection Management

List Connections

clawlink_list_integrations

Response: Returns all connected integrations. Look for sharepoint in the list.

Verify Connection

clawlink_list_tools --integration sharepoint

Response: Returns the live tool catalog for SharePoint.

Reconnect

If SharePoint tools are missing or the connection shows an error:

1. Direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=sharepoint
2. After they confirm, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify
3. Then call clawlink_list_tools --integration sharepoint

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to sites, lists, and files accessible to the connected Microsoft account.
• All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Destructive actions (delete list, delete item, recycle file) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
• Permission operations (break inheritance, add role assignments) permanently alter access control — confirm before proceeding.
• Role definition IDs are scoped per site/web — always resolve current values via share_point_get_role_definitions rather than hard-coding.

Code Examples

List all sites

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_list_sites"

Get a list by title and its items

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_get_list_by_title" \
  --params '{"title": "Project Tasks"}'

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_get_list_items" \
  --params '{"list_name": "Project Tasks"}'

Create a new list item

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_sharepoint_create_list_item" \
  --params '{
    "list_name": "Project Tasks",
    "item": {
      "Title": "Complete Q4 Report",
      "Priority": "High",
      "DueDate": "2024-12-31"
    }
  }'

Upload a file

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_upload_file" \
  --params '{
    "file_name": "report.xlsx",
    "folder_url": "/Shared Documents/Reports",
    "file_content": "BASE64_ENCODED_CONTENT"
  }'

Create a sharing link

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_create_drive_item_sharing_link" \
  --params '{
    "item_id": "YOUR_FILE_ID",
    "link_type": "view",
    "scope": "organization"
  }'

Break inheritance and add permissions

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_break_role_inheritance_on_list" \
  --params '{"list_id": "YOUR_LIST_ID", "copy_role_assignments": true}'

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_ensure_user" \
  --params '{"login_name": "i:0#.f|membership|user@domain.com"}'

clawlink_call_tool --tool "share_point_add_role_assignment_to_list" \
  --params '{"list_id": "YOUR_LIST_ID", "principal_id": "USER_ID_FROM_ENSURE_USER", "role_definition_id": 1}'

Discovery Workflow

1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm SharePoint is connected.
2. Call clawlink_list_tools --integration sharepoint to see the live catalog.
3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration sharepoint.
5. If no SharePoint tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=sharepoint.

Execution Workflow

│                                                             │
│  Example: List sites → List lists → Get items → Show results │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
                               │
                               ▼

│                                                             │
│  Example: Describe tool → Preview changes → User approves    │
│           → Execute create                                   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

1. For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
2. Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
6. If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

Notes

• Server-relative URLs for folders use the format /Shared Documents/FolderName or /Lists/ListName.
• List GUIDs are preferred over titles for reliable lookups — names may collide across similarly named lists.
• Role definition IDs are scoped per site/web — never hard-code them; always resolve via share_point_get_role_definitions.
• Permission operations require breaking inheritance first (break_role_inheritance_on_list) before adding unique role assignments.
• ensure_user is a write operation with provisioning side effects — it registers the user in the site collection but does not grant permissions.
• SharePoint search results are security-trimmed — inaccessible content never appears even if it exists.
• upload_from_url with conflict_behavior: 'rename' bypasses file locks on existing files.
• Custom columns cannot be added at list creation time — use create_list_field after creating the list.
• Site pages (get_site_page_content) read structured content from modern pages — .aspx files may need different handling.

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: Tools Not Visible

1. Check that the ClawLink plugin is installed:

   openclaw plugins list
   

2. If the plugin is installed but tools are missing, tell the user to send /new as a standalone message to reload the catalog.
3. If a fresh chat does not help, run:

   openclaw config set tools.alsoAllow '["clawlink-plugin"]' --strict-json
   openclaw gateway restart
   

4. After restart, tell the user to send /new again and retry.

Troubleshooting: Invalid Tool Call

1. Ensure the integration slug is exactly sharepoint.
2. Use clawlink_describe_tool to verify parameter names and types before calling.
3. For write operations, always call clawlink_preview_tool first.
4. Verify site_id/list_id exist before using them — use list_sites and list_all_lists to discover IDs.
