What it does

Workiq Preview is an agent skill from microsoft/work-iq, published by the product's own GitHub organization. WorkIQ tools for Microsoft 365 workplace data and actions. Use for email, meetings, calendar, files, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, people, Planner, and connected work context. Triggers include gather requirements, summarize workplace discussions, manage meetings, create an upload session, send or draft replies, manage tasks, and discover paths or schemas. Retrieve context first with explicit Grounding when available and synthesize locally; use ask only for intentional delegation to Copilot or a known/discovered…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agents-work-iq.md`, `references/ask-work-iq.md` and `references/calendar-work-iq.md`). Compatibility notes: Uses the hosted WorkIQ MCP endpoint. No local package is required for MCP tool calls.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites. It works with Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365. The repository describes itself as: MCP Server and CLI for accessing Work IQ.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1060873. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • graph.microsoft.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Uses the hosted WorkIQ MCP endpoint. No local package is required for MCP tool calls.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Workiq Preview loads about 3.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~32k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 183 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~183
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~32k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,431 words (~3,349 tokens).

“Use WorkIQ for workplace data: mail, calendar, Teams, files, people, and Planner. Tools use WorkIQ entity paths, not arbitrary Microsoft Graph URLs. This policy is agent-host-neutral; use the current host's tool catalog, skill loading, confirmation, and result-handling mechanisms.”
