Description

Feature: Fluent API

I appreciate the addition of fluent APIs in the PowerShell SDK v2 preview. Fluent APIs provide design-time feedback for calling Microsoft Graph and allow me to catch errors earlier in the development process. This improvement has streamlined my workflow and reduced the time spent on debugging.

Suggested Improvement: Enhanced Error Messaging

While fluent APIs help catch errors early, I believe that providing more detailed error messages would further improve the developer experience. When an error occurs, it would be helpful to receive not only the error code but also suggestions for possible resolutions or links to relevant documentation.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK v2 fluent API error-handling entry points; the issue does not name a file, test, or command. Define completion as errors including the error code, possible resolution suggestions, and links to relevant documentation, then add coverage for the resulting messages.
