dsh-plugin-onenote

Read the Microsoft OneNote notebooks you choose from inside DeepSeek Harness.

Sign in once, tick the notebooks this agent may read, and everything else stays invisible. The allow-list is enforced inside the plugin before any Microsoft Graph request, so a page that tries to talk the model into reading another notebook has nothing to call.

What it looks like

The settings card (Settings → Plugins → OneNote) is the only place to sign in or change which notebooks are readable:

┌ OneNote ──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Connected                                             │
│ Signed in as you@example.com        [ Sign out ]      │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Readable notebooks            [ Refresh list ]        │
│ Only the notebooks you tick can be listed, searched,  │
│ or read.                                              │
│   [x] Work                              default       │
│   [ ] Team wiki                         shared        │
│   [ ] Journal                                         │
│                          1 of 3 allowed  [Allow none] │
│                                                [Save] │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Tools

The agent gets four read-only tools. None of them can sign in, sign out, or change the allow-list — those are user actions in the settings card.

Tool	What it does
onenote_status	Reports the account and which notebooks are readable.
onenote_list_pages	Browses allowed notebooks → sections → pages.
onenote_search	Matches page titles first, then the opening text of recent pages.
onenote_read_page	Reads one page as Markdown (headings, lists, tables, links, code).

Install

# From the plugin manager (recommended)
dsh plugin install hestudio-community/dsh-plugin-onenote

# Or from npm
dsh plugin install dsh-plugin-onenote

Then open Settings → Plugins → OneNote and sign in.

Azure app registration

The bundle ships a public client ID so it works out of the box. To use your own app registration instead (recommended for anything beyond personal use), create one in about two minutes — no paid subscription is needed:

1. Open App registrations → New registration.
2. Name: anything, e.g. DSH-OneNote.
3. Supported account types: Accounts in any organizational directory and personal Microsoft accounts. Choose a single-tenant option instead if every user is in one tenant.
4. Redirect URI: leave empty — the device-code flow needs none. (Optional: if you configure a platform, choose Mobile and desktop applications and tick https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/nativeclient).
5. Register, then copy Application (client) ID.
6. Authentication → Advanced settings → Allow public client flows = Yes, then Save. Without this, sign-in fails with unauthorized_client.
7. API permissions → Add a permission → Microsoft Graph → Delegated permissions:
   • Notes.Read — read the user's notebooks
   • offline_access — keep the session alive between turns
   • User.Read — name the signed-in account
8. No client secret and no admin consent are needed for a personal account. A work account may need an admin to grant consent once.

Troubleshooting: "missing 'redirect_uri' input parameter"

If Microsoft fails with invalid_request: The provided request must include a 'redirect_uri' input parameter:

• Cause: At microsoft.com/devicelogin, selecting a Passkey / security key / Windows Hello shortcut directly without typing your username causes Microsoft's login service to misroute the device code flow into an interactive web flow.
• Fix: In the browser, manually type your full Microsoft account email address first, then click Next before completing authentication. Alternatively, open the verification link in an InPrivate / Incognito window.

Then point the plugin at your app by adding a patch layer of your own:

# ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml (applies to every profile) or the profile's cordis.patch.yml
- id: onenote
  name: 'dsh-plugin-onenote'
  config:
    clientId: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    tenant: common

config replaces the row's config wholesale, so restate every field you need.

Configuration

Field	Default	Meaning
clientId	the bundled public app	Azure application (client) ID.
tenant	common	Tenant id or domain. common accepts work and personal accounts.
maxPagesPerList	100	Default page cap for onenote_list_pages.
maxPageChars	60000	Default Markdown cap for onenote_read_page.

Where state lives

$DSH_HOME/onenote/ (usually ~/.dsh/onenote/), mode 0600:

File	Contents
tokens.json	Access and refresh token.
signin.json	The pending device-code attempt, so a reload continues the same code.
settings.json	The notebook allow-list.

Delete the directory to reset everything. Nothing is written into your workspace.

How the privacy boundary works

1. The allow-list is a list of notebook ids in settings.json.
2. Every read resolves the owning notebook first — from the page, the section, or the notebook itself — and asserts the allow-list before fetching content. Guessing a section id does not bypass it.
3. The agent tools cannot write the allow-list. Only the settings card can, and only through POST /api/onenote/notebooks.
4. The system prompt tells the model the readable notebook names and that everything else is unreadable by design.

Notes on the Graph API

• OneNote does not support app-only authentication, so a signed-in user is required; Notes.Read is delegated.
• GET /me/onenote/pages?$search= was retired in 2024 (announcement), so search lists page metadata per allowed notebook and matches titles locally, then reads the opening text of the most recently modified pages. That keeps the cost bounded and never leaves the allowed set.
• Page content arrives as OneNote's HTML dialect; src/parser.js converts it to Markdown without a third-party dependency and never downloads media.

Development

npm test          # 99 tests, no network, no host required
npm run pack:check

The suite stubs @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools (a host-provided peer) through a Node module hook, so a bare checkout runs without installing the harness.
