Description

I tried plugin in copilot and work-iq cli. What works for me:

  • Access my meetings.
  • Search files in SharePoint.

What cannot work for me:

  • Access the the contents of those SharePoint Word files. Copilot says it may be security/access restriction, although I can confirm I can open those files directly.

Note that The SharePoint is MSFT internal. Not sure if there is strict security policy there not compatible with work-iq.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the SharePoint Word-file content access failure through the Work IQ plugin and CLI, comparing it with direct file access. Check whether the behavior is specific to MSFT-internal SharePoint and its security policy; done means identifying the cause and restoring content access, or documenting a confirmed compatibility limitation.
