This updates the WorkIQ skill to the latest 0817 version, combined with MCS optimizations for SharePoint metadata-filtering scenarios. The merged guidance distinguishes document-content search from library-column queries, resolves display names to internal column names, handles indexing and pagination constraints, verifies per-result status codes, and prevents incomplete or inferred metadata from being presented as authoritative.

The P1 review findings are addressed in this revision. Governed and ungoverned populations remain, while the governing column and criteria are resolved through /columns for each query and Owner ne null is only an ownership-specific example. The agent follows accepted @odata.nextLink continuations and falls back only when a continuation specifically rejects $skiptoken; no first page is treated as a total. Folder traversal is explicitly candidate discovery whose results require list-item field rehydration, with limitations disclosed when WorkIQ cannot resolve that relationship. Column absence is proven only by /columns, while all-empty conclusions require a complete candidate set and partial results state their coverage.

The update also adds portable safety improvements identified while adapting the skill in another host. WorkIQ and M365 results are treated as untrusted data rather than instructions or authorization. Mutations with null, timed-out, or otherwise ambiguous outcomes are not replayed; the agent reconciles with a safe read when possible and reports an indeterminate result otherwise. Upload-session URLs are treated as temporary preauthenticated credentials and are never returned in model output; only non-secret session metadata may be reported.

Tenant-specific indexing assertions and internal incident or work-item identifiers were removed, while recovery guidance now reacts to errors observed from the current library and endpoint. Host-specific assumptions were replaced with capability-neutral guidance, and SharePoint or OneDrive file operations use stable drive and item identifiers with bounded fallback. Broader regression testing is still underway, with no obvious caveats or collisions observed so far.
