→ GET /me/onenote/pages?$search=action+items and list matching page titles.
Cautions
- Graph API requires
Notes.ReadWritescope — obtain token viaaz loginor OAuth device flow - Page content is returned as HTML; parse with PowerShell XML or pass to an HTML renderer
- OneNote COM automation (via
onenote.exe) is less reliable than Graph API for programmatic access - Large notebooks with many pages may require
