## Description

Fetch a single email message by its Microsoft Graph message ID, including full body and optional attachments. Use **Find Email** first to search for messages and obtain a message `id`; then call this tool to retrieve the full content. Set `includeAttachments: true` to expand attachment metadata — the `id` field of each attachment is required by **Download Attachment**. Example: after `find-email(search="Eval-Festivus")` returns a message with `id: "AAMk..."`, call `get-message(messageId="AAMk...", includeAttachments=true)` to get the body text and attachment list. [See the documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-get)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `messageId` | `string` | Yes | The Microsoft Graph message ID. Obtain this from Find Email (id field in results). |
| `includeAttachments` | `boolean` | No | When true, expands attachment metadata. Each attachment will have an id needed by Download Attachment. |
| `userId` | `string` | No | The user ID or UPN of a shared mailbox. Omit to use the authenticated user's mailbox. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "microsoft_outlook",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "microsoft_outlook-get-message",
  arguments: {
    messageId: "Message ID",
    includeAttachments: true,
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "microsoft_outlook-get-message",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    microsoft_outlook: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    messageId: "Message ID",
    includeAttachments: true,
  },
})

console.log(result)
