Agent365-Samples CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for Microsoft Agent365 Samples, a collection of examples showing how to build agents with Microsoft 365 tools across several programming languages and AI frameworks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when navigating, developing, testing, or documenting the repository's C#/.NET, Python, or Node.js/TypeScript agent samples.
Why use it?
They explain the repository layout, development commands, and C#/.NET conventions, helping an agent make changes that fit the existing examples.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Agent365-Samples CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Overview

This is the Agent365-Samples repository containing sample agents demonstrating the Microsoft Agent 365 SDK across three languages (C#/.NET, Python, Node.js/TypeScript) and multiple AI orchestrators (OpenAI, Claude, Semantic Kernel, Agent Framework, LangChain, CrewAI, etc.).

The Microsoft Agent 365 SDK extends the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK with enterprise-grade capabilities for observability, notifications, MCP tooling, and runtime utilities.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
