👋 Hey folks, I published a new AI skill for the Microsoft 365 Graph API 🤩

Your AI agent is hallucinating Microsoft Graph API that don't exist.

Not because it's bad → because it was trained before those APIs shipped.

The Graph API has 27,700 APIs and updates weekly.

Wow, this is so cool 😍!

❤️ this post from @12knocksinna@bird.makeup comparing Maester with the new Universal Tenant Configuration Management

If you use Maester and have questions on whether you need UTCM or if one replaces the other. Tony answers all your questions.

On top of this I've been thinking up ideas to improve Maester by using the new UTCM APIs for new kinds of tests that were not possible before.
