Retrieving capabilities IDs for declarative agent manifest

This article describes methods for developers to retrieve the necessary IDs to include Graph connectors and SharePoint/OneDrive files within the capabilities section of their declarative agent manifest. Developers can use Microsoft Graph Explorer or Microsoft Graph PowerShell.

Microsoft Graph connectors

This section describes how developers can retrieve the value to set in the connection_id property of the Connection object in the Microsoft Graph connectors object in the manifest.

Important

Querying for Microsoft Graph connectors requires an admin account.

Graph Explorer

1. Browse to Microsoft Graph Explorer and sign in with your admin account.

   

2. Select your user avatar in the upper right corner and select Consent to permissions.

   

3. Search for ExternalConnection.Read.All and select Consent for that permission. Follow the prompts to grant consent.

   

4. Enter https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/external/connections?$select=id,name in the request field and select Run query.

   

5. Locate the connector you want and copy its id property. For example, to use the GitHub Repos connector in the following response, copy the githubrepos value.

   {
     "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#connections(id,name)",
     "value": [
       {
         "id": "applianceparts",
         "name": "Appliance Parts Inventory"
       },
       {
         "id": "githubrepos",
         "name": "GitHub Repos"
       }
     ]
   }
   

PowerShell

1. Copy the following code into a new file named GetGraphConnectorIds.ps1.

   param(
       [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
       [Switch]
       $StayConnected = $false
   )
   
   # Requires an admin
   Connect-MgGraph -Scopes "ExternalConnection.Read.All" `
       -UseDeviceCode -ErrorAction Stop -NoWelcome
   
   Get-MgExternalConnection -Property "Name", "Id" | Format-Table "Name", "Id"
   
   if ($StayConnected -eq $false) {
       Disconnect-MgGraph | Out-Null
       Write-Host "Disconnected from Microsoft Graph"
   }
   else {
       Write-Host
       Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow `
           "The connection to Microsoft Graph is still active. To disconnect, use Disconnect-MgGraph"
   }
   

2. Open PowerShell 7 in the directory where GetGraphConnectorIds.ps1 is located and run the script with the following command.

   .\GetGraphConnectorIds.ps1
   

3. Open your browser and browse to https://microsoft.com/devicelogin. Enter the code that is provided by the prompt and complete the sign-in and consent flow.

   To sign in, use a web browser to open the page https://microsoft.com/devicelogin and enter the code BQGGRREGN to authenticate.
   

4. Locate the connector you want and copy its Id property. For example, to use the GitHub Repos connector in the following response, copy the githubrepos value.

   Name                      Id
   ----                      --
   Appliance Parts Inventory applianceparts
   GitHub Repos              githubrepos
   

Retrieving SharePoint IDs

This section describes how developers can retrieve the value to set in the following properties within the items_by_sharepoint_ids property of the OneDriveAndSharePoint object:

• site_id
• list_id
• web_id
• unique_id

Graph Explorer

1. Browse to Microsoft Graph Explorer and sign in with your admin account.

2. Select your user avatar in the upper right corner and select Consent to permissions.

3. Search for Sites.Read.All and select Consent for that permission. Follow the prompts to grant consent. Repeat this process for Files.Read.All.

   

4. Change the method dropdown to POST and enter https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query in the request field.

   

5. Add the following in the Request body, replacing https://yoursharepointsite.com/sites/YourSite/Shared%20Documents/YourFile.docx with the URL to the file or folder you want to get IDs for.

   {
     "requests": [
       {
         "entityTypes": [
           "driveItem"
         ],
         "query": {
           "queryString": "Path:\"https://yoursharepointsite.com/sites/YourSite/Shared%20Documents/YourFile.docx\""

         ]
       }
     ]
   }
