Microsoft Teams Automation

Microsoft Teams Automation via Rube MCP

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/microsoft-teams-automation from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Microsoft Teams Automation via Rube MCP Automate Microsoft Teams operations through Composio's Microsoft Teams toolkit via Rube MCP.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Prerequisites, Common Patterns, Known Pitfalls, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Automate Microsoft Teams tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): send messages, manage channels, create meetings, handle chats, and search messages. Always search tools first for current schemas.
• Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
• Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
• Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
• Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

Imported: Core Workflows

1. Send Channel Messages

When to use: User wants to post a message to a Teams channel

Tool sequence:

1. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_LIST - List teams to find target team [Prerequisite]
2. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_LIST_CHANNELS - List channels in the team [Prerequisite]
3. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_POST_CHANNEL_MESSAGE - Post the message [Required]

Key parameters:

• team_id: UUID of the team (from TEAMS_LIST)
• channel_id: Channel ID (from LIST_CHANNELS, format: '19:...@thread.tacv2')
• content: Message text or HTML
• content_type: 'text' or 'html'

Pitfalls:

• team_id must be a valid UUID format
• channel_id must be in thread format (e.g., '19:abc@thread.tacv2')
• TEAMS_LIST may paginate (~100 items/page); follow @odata.nextLink to find all teams
• LIST_CHANNELS can return 403 if user lacks access to the team
• Messages over ~28KB can trigger 400/413 errors; split long content
• Throttling may return 429; use exponential backoff (1s/2s/4s)

2. Send Chat Messages

When to use: User wants to send a direct or group chat message

Tool sequence:

1. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_CHATS_GET_ALL_CHATS - List existing chats [Optional]
2. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_LIST_USERS - Find users for new chats [Optional]
3. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_CREATE_CHAT - Create a new chat [Optional]
4. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_POST_CHAT_MESSAGE - Send the message [Required]

Key parameters:

• chat_id: Chat ID (from GET_ALL_CHATS or CREATE_CHAT)
• content: Message content
• content_type: 'text' or 'html'
• chatType: 'oneOnOne' or 'group' (for CREATE_CHAT)
• members: Array of member objects (for CREATE_CHAT)

Pitfalls:

• CREATE_CHAT requires the authenticated user as one of the members
• oneOnOne chats return existing chat if one already exists between the two users
• group chats require at least one member with 'owner' role
• member user_odata_bind must use full Microsoft Graph URL format
• Chat filter support is very limited; filter client-side when needed

3. Create Online Meetings

When to use: User wants to schedule a Microsoft Teams meeting

Tool sequence:

1. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_LIST_USERS - Find participant user IDs [Optional]
2. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_CREATE_MEETING - Create the meeting [Required]

Key parameters:

• subject: Meeting title
• start_date_time: ISO 8601 start time (e.g., '2024-08-15T10:00:00Z')
• end_date_time: ISO 8601 end time (must be after start)
• participants: Array of user objects with user_id and role

Pitfalls:

• end_date_time must be strictly after start_date_time
• Participants require valid Microsoft user_id (GUID) values, not emails
• This creates a standalone meeting not linked to a calendar event
• For calendar-linked meetings, use OUTLOOK_CALENDAR_CREATE_EVENT with is_online_meeting=true

4. Manage Teams and Channels

When to use: User wants to list, create, or manage teams and channels

Tool sequence:

1. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_LIST - List all accessible teams [Required]
2. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_GET_TEAM - Get details for a specific team [Optional]
3. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_LIST_CHANNELS - List channels in a team [Optional]
4. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_GET_CHANNEL - Get channel details [Optional]
5. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_TEAMS_CREATE_CHANNEL - Create a new channel [Optional]
6. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_LIST_TEAM_MEMBERS - List team members [Optional]
7. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_ADD_MEMBER_TO_TEAM - Add a member to the team [Optional]

Key parameters:

• team_id: Team UUID
• channel_id: Channel ID in thread format
• filter: OData filter string (e.g., "startsWith(displayName,'Project')")
• select: Comma-separated properties to return

Pitfalls:

• TEAMS_LIST pagination: follow @odata.nextLink in large tenants
• Private/shared channels may be omitted unless permissions align
• GET_CHANNEL returns 404 if team_id or channel_id is wrong
• Always source IDs from list operations; do not guess ID formats

5. Search Messages

When to use: User wants to find messages across Teams chats and channels

Tool sequence:

1. MICROSOFT_TEAMS_SEARCH_MESSAGES - Search with KQL syntax [Required]

Key parameters:

• query: KQL search query (supports from:, sent:, attachments, boolean logic)

Pitfalls:

• Newly posted messages may take 30-60 seconds to appear in search
• Search is eventually consistent; do not rely on it for immediate delivery confirmation
• Use message listing tools for real-time message verification

Imported: Prerequisites

• Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
• Active Microsoft Teams connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit microsoft_teams
• Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @microsoft-teams-automation to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @microsoft-teams-automation against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @microsoft-teams-automation for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @microsoft-teams-automation using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
• Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
• Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
• Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
• Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
• Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/microsoft-teams-automation, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Pagination

• Teams/Users: Follow @odata.nextLink URL for next page
• Chats: Auto-paginates up to limit; use top for page size (max 50)
• Use top parameter to control page size
• Continue until @odata.nextLink is absent

Imported: Known Pitfalls

Authentication and Permissions:

• Different operations require different Microsoft Graph permissions
• 403 errors indicate insufficient permissions or team access
• Some operations require admin consent in the Azure AD tenant

ID Formats:

• Team IDs: UUID format (e.g., '87b0560f-fc0d-4442-add8-b380ca926707')
• Channel IDs: Thread format (e.g., '19:abc123@thread.tacv2')
• Chat IDs: Various formats (e.g., '19:meeting_xxx@thread.v2')
• User IDs: UUID format
• Never guess IDs; always resolve from list operations

Rate Limits:

• Microsoft Graph enforces throttling
• 429 responses include Retry-After header
• Keep requests to a few per second
• Batch operations help reduce total request count

Message Formatting:

• HTML content_type supports rich formatting
• Adaptive cards require additional handling
• Message size limit is approximately 28KB
• Split long content into multiple messages

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
