OneDrive Automation via Rube MCP
Automate OneDrive operations including file upload/download, search, folder management, sharing links, permissions management, and drive browsing through Composio's OneDrive toolkit.
Prerequisites
Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
Active OneDrive connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit one_drive
Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas
Setup
Get Rube MCP : Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.
Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit one_drive
If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Microsoft OAuth
Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows
Core Workflows
1. Search and Browse Files When to use : User wants to find files or browse folder contents in OneDrive
ONE_DRIVE_GET_DRIVE - Verify drive access and get drive details [Prerequisite]
ONE_DRIVE_SEARCH_ITEMS - Keyword search across filenames, metadata, and content [Required]
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_LIST_ITEMS - List all items in the root of a drive [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM - Get detailed metadata for a specific item, expand children [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FILE - Find a specific file by exact name in a folder [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER - Find a specific folder by name [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_LIST_DRIVES - List all accessible drives [Optional]
q: Search query (plain keywords only, NOT KQL syntax)
search_scope: "root" (folder hierarchy) or "drive" (includes shared items)
top: Max items per page (default 200)
skip_token: Pagination token from @odata.nextLink
select: Comma-separated fields to return (e.g., "id,name,webUrl,size")
orderby: Sort order (e.g., "name asc", "name desc")
item_id: Item ID for GET_ITEM
expand_relations: Array like ["children"] or ["thumbnails"] for GET_ITEM
user_id: "me" (default) or specific user ID/email
ONE_DRIVE_SEARCH_ITEMS does NOT support KQL operators (folder:, file:, filetype:, path:); these are treated as literal text
Wildcard characters (*, ?) are NOT supported and are auto-removed; use file extension keywords instead (e.g., "pdf" not "*.pdf")
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_LIST_ITEMS returns only root-level contents; use recursive ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM with expand_relations: ["children"] for deeper levels
Large folders paginate; always follow skip_token / @odata.nextLink until exhausted
Some drive ID formats may return "ObjectHandle is Invalid" errors due to Microsoft Graph API limitations
2. Upload and Download Files When to use : User wants to upload files to OneDrive or download files from it
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER - Locate the target folder [Prerequisite]
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_UPLOAD_FILE - Upload a file to a specified folder [Required for upload]
ONE_DRIVE_DOWNLOAD_FILE - Download a file by item ID [Required for download]
ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM - Get file details before download [Optional]
file: FileUploadable object with s3key, mimetype, and name for uploads
folder: Destination path (e.g., "/Documents/Reports") or folder ID for uploads
item_id: File's unique identifier for downloads
file_name: Desired filename with extension for downloads
drive_id: Specific drive ID (for SharePoint or OneDrive for Business)
user_id: "me" (default) or specific user identifier
Upload automatically renames on conflict (no overwrite option by default)
Large files are automatically handled via chunking
drive_id overrides user_id when both are provided
Item IDs vary by platform: OneDrive for Business uses 01... prefix, OneDrive Personal uses HASH!NUMBER format
Item IDs are case-sensitive; use exactly as returned from API
3. Share Files and Manage Permissions When to use : User wants to share files/folders or manage who has access
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FILE or ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER - Locate the item [Prerequisite]
ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM_PERMISSIONS - Check current permissions [Prerequisite]
ONE_DRIVE_INVITE_USER_TO_DRIVE_ITEM - Grant access to specific users [Required]
ONE_DRIVE_CREATE_LINK - Create a shareable link [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_UPDATE_DRIVE_ITEM_METADATA - Update item metadata [Optional]
item_id: The file or folder to share
recipients: Array of objects with email or object_id
roles: Array with "read" or "write"
send_invitation: true to send notification email, false for silent permission grant
require_sign_in: true to require authentication to access
message: Custom message for invitation (max 2000 characters)
expiration_date_time: ISO 8601 date for permission expiry
retain_inherited_permissions: true (default) to keep existing inherited permissions
Using wrong item_id with INVITE_USER_TO_DRIVE_ITEM changes permissions on unintended items; always verify first
Write or higher roles are impactful; get explicit user confirmation before granting
GET_ITEM_PERMISSIONS returns inherited and owner entries; do not assume response only reflects recent changes
permissions cannot be expanded via ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM; use the separate permissions endpoint
At least one of require_sign_in or send_invitation must be true
4. Manage Folders (Create, Move, Delete, Copy) When to use : User wants to create, move, rename, delete, or copy files and folders
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER - Locate source and destination folders [Prerequisite]
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_CREATE_FOLDER - Create a new folder [Required for create]
ONE_DRIVE_MOVE_ITEM - Move a file or folder to a new location [Required for move]
ONE_DRIVE_COPY_ITEM - Copy a file or folder (async operation) [Required for copy]
ONE_DRIVE_DELETE_ITEM - Move item to recycle bin [Required for delete]
ONE_DRIVE_UPDATE_DRIVE_ITEM_METADATA - Rename or update item properties [Optional]
name: Folder name for creation or new name for rename/copy
parent_folder: Path (e.g., "/Documents/Reports") or folder ID for creation
itemId: Item to move
parentReference: Object with id (destination folder ID) for moves: {"id": "folder_id"}
item_id: Item to copy or delete
parent_reference: Object with id and optional driveId for copy destination
@microsoft.graph.conflictBehavior: "fail", "replace", or "rename" for copies
if_match: ETag for optimistic concurrency on deletes
ONE_DRIVE_MOVE_ITEM does NOT support cross-drive moves; use ONE_DRIVE_COPY_ITEM for cross-drive transfers
parentReference for moves requires folder ID (not folder name); resolve with ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER first
ONE_DRIVE_COPY_ITEM is asynchronous; response provides a URL to monitor progress
ONE_DRIVE_DELETE_ITEM moves to recycle bin, not permanent deletion
Folder creation auto-renames on conflict (e.g., "New Folder" becomes "New Folder 1")
Provide either name or parent_reference (or both) for ONE_DRIVE_COPY_ITEM
5. Track Changes and Drive Information When to use : User wants to monitor changes or get drive/quota information
ONE_DRIVE_GET_DRIVE - Get drive properties and metadata [Required]
ONE_DRIVE_GET_QUOTA - Check storage quota (total, used, remaining) [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SITE_DRIVE_ITEMS_DELTA - Track changes in SharePoint site drives [Optional]
ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM_VERSIONS - Get version history of a file [Optional]
drive_id: Drive identifier (or "me" for personal drive)
site_id: SharePoint site identifier for delta tracking
token: Delta token ("latest" for current state, URL for next page, or timestamp)
item_id: File ID for version history
Delta queries are only available for SharePoint site drives via ONE_DRIVE_LIST_SITE_DRIVE_ITEMS_DELTA
Token "latest" returns current delta token without items (useful as starting point)
Deep or large drives can take several minutes to crawl; use batching and resume logic
Common Patterns
ID Resolution
User : Use "me" for authenticated user or specific user email/GUID
Item ID from find : Use ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FILE or ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER to get item IDs
Item ID from search : Extract from ONE_DRIVE_SEARCH_ITEMS results
Drive ID : Use ONE_DRIVE_LIST_DRIVES or ONE_DRIVE_GET_DRIVE to discover drives
Folder path to ID : Use ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_FIND_FOLDER with path, then extract ID from response
ID formats vary by platform:
OneDrive for Business/SharePoint: 01NKDM7HMOJTVYMDOSXFDK2QJDXCDI3WUK
OneDrive Personal: D4648F06C91D9D3D!54927
Pagination OneDrive uses token-based pagination:
Follow @odata.nextLink or skip_token until no more pages
Set top for page size (varies by endpoint)
ONE_DRIVE_ONEDRIVE_LIST_ITEMS auto-handles pagination internally
Aggressive parallel requests can trigger HTTP 429; honor Retry-After headers
Path vs ID Most OneDrive tools accept either paths or IDs:
Paths : Start with / (e.g., "/Documents/Reports")
IDs : Use unique item identifiers from API responses
Item paths for permissions : Use :/path/to/item:/ format
Known Pitfalls
ID Formats
Item IDs are case-sensitive and platform-specific
Never use web URLs, sharing links, or manually constructed identifiers as item IDs
Always use IDs exactly as returned from Microsoft Graph API
Rate Limits
Aggressive parallel ONE_DRIVE_GET_ITEM calls can trigger HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
Honor Retry-After headers and implement throttling
Deep drive crawls should use batching with delays
Search Limitations
No KQL support; use plain keywords only
No wildcard characters; use extension keywords (e.g., "pdf" not "*.pdf")
No path-based filtering in search; use folder listing instead
q='*' wildcard-only queries return HTTP 400 invalidRequest
Parameter Quirks
drive_id overrides user_id when both are provided
permissions cannot be expanded via GET_ITEM; use dedicated permissions endpoint
Move operations require folder IDs in parentReference, not folder names
Copy operations are asynchronous; response provides monitoring URL
