Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates with Microsoft Office. It provides enterprise content management, document management, and collaboration capabilities.

agent native

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Microsoft SharePoint the way a machine reads it — 89 machine-readable artifacts across 8 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Microsoft SharePoint scores 61.1/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 81/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Microsoft SharePoint

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Microsoft SharePoint. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 8

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

SharePoint CSOM (Client-Side Object Model)

Client-side object model for SharePoint that provides access to SharePoint objects through .NET managed or JavaScript libraries.

SharePoint Webhooks API

SharePoint webhooks provide a way to get notified about changes to SharePoint lists and document libraries.

Microsoft SharePoint Files API

File upload, download, and management

Microsoft SharePoint Items API

List item operations

Microsoft SharePoint Lists API

List and library operations

Microsoft SharePoint Search API

Search query operations

Microsoft SharePoint Sites API

Site and web operations

Arazzo Workflows 7

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

SharePoint Ensure a List Item Exists

Find an item by title and create it only when missing, then read it back.

ARAZZO

SharePoint List Item Full Lifecycle

Create, read, update, verify, and delete a list item as an end-to-end conformance run.

ARAZZO

SharePoint Provision a List and Seed Its First Item

Create a list only if it does not already exist, read it back, and seed an item.

ARAZZO

SharePoint Search for a Document and Download It

Run a search query, take the top hit's path, and fetch the document bytes.

ARAZZO

SharePoint Verify Site Connection and Identity

Escalate from a cheap reachability probe to identity, site detail, and visible lists.

ARAZZO

SharePoint Site Content Inventory

Walk a site from its title down through lists, recent items, and library files.

ARAZZO

SharePoint Upload a Document and Verify It

Survey a library folder, upload a file with overwrite, then read the bytes back.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 11

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
