Question 2

What are the primary benefits for AI clients using this server?

How does the server handle security and authentication?

Accepted Answer

It authenticates AI clients via bearer tokens and performs an On-Behalf-Of (OBO) token exchange to securely acquire delegated Microsoft Graph tokens. The server validates tokens, normalizes data, and strictly enforces a read-only policy, ensuring no direct token pass-through.

Question 5
