AI Agent Integration with Microsoft Teams

Agents can call teams as a subprocess and receive stable JSON envelopes. This avoids brittle browser automation and avoids embedding Teams workflows inside a chat bot framework.

Pattern​

teams message list --chat "$CHAT_ID" --page-size 20 --output json
teams message send --chat "$CHAT_ID" --body "$RESPONSE" --output json

Auth model​

Delegated auth means the agent acts as the signed-in user and inherits that user's Teams access. This is the supported model today. Future unattended posting should use bot mode.

Guardrails​

  • Store processed message IDs.
  • Keep raw chat contents out of logs.
  • Deny destructive commands unless explicitly allowed.
  • Branch on exit codes before parsing JSON.
