Rich Message Formatting Support

The following tools now support rich message formatting in Teams channels and chats:

Format Options

You can specify the format parameter to control the message formatting:

• text (default): Plain text
• markdown: Markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists, links, code, etc.) - converted to sanitized HTML

When format is set to markdown, the message content is converted to HTML using a secure markdown parser and sanitized to remove potentially dangerous content before being sent to Teams.

If format is not specified, the message will be sent as plain text.

Example Usage

{
  "teamId": "...",
  "channelId": "...",
  "message": "**Bold text** and _italic text_\n\n- List item 1\n- List item 2\n\n[Link](https://example.com)",
  "format": "markdown"
}

{
  "chatId": "...",
  "message": "Simple plain text message",
  "format": "text"
}

Security Features

• HTML Sanitization: All markdown content is converted to HTML and sanitized to remove potentially dangerous elements (scripts, event handlers, etc.)
• Allowed Tags: Only safe HTML tags are permitted (p, strong, em, a, ul, ol, li, h1-h6, code, pre, etc.)
• Safe Attributes: Only safe attributes are allowed (href, target, src, alt, title, width, height)
• XSS Prevention: Content is automatically sanitized to prevent cross-site scripting attacks
