    "subject",
    "start",
    "end",
    "timezone",
    "location",
    "body",
    "attendees",  # ✅ Phase 2 deferred item now included
}
```

**Validation implementation (lines 203-216):**
```python

### Section 1c: Validate `contact_update` Dict

**Location:** `src/microsoft_mcp/tools/contact.py:250-340`

#### ✅ Implementation - COMPLETE

**Tasklist Requirements:**
1. Define allowed keys
2. Validate with type checking
3. Email validation for emailAddresses
4. Testing for valid/invalid keys and formats

**Status:** ✅ ALL REQUIREMENTS SATISFIED

Evidence from `contact.py`:

**Allowed keys defined (lines 13-24):**
```python
ALLOWED_CONTACT_UPDATE_KEYS = {
    "givenName",
    "surname",
    "displayName",
    "emailAddresses",

    "department",
}
```

**Validation implementation (lines 268-281):**
```python
payload = validate_json_payload(
    updates,
    allowed_keys=ALLOWED_CONTACT_UPDATE_KEYS,
    param_name="updates",
)
if not payload:
    raise ValidationError(...)
```

**Type-specific validation:**
- String fields: Validation and trimming (lines 285-304)

### Section 1d: Enhance `emailrules_update` Dict Validation

**Location:** `src/microsoft_mcp/tools/email_rules.py:472-578`

#### ✅ Implementation - COMPLETE (Different Pattern)

**Tasklist Requirements:**
1. Define allowed keys + nested validation
2. Validate sequence >= 1
3. Validate conditions/actions structure
4. Testing for unknown keys, invalid sequence, malformed conditions

**Status:** ✅ ALL REQUIREMENTS SATISFIED (Note: Uses parameter-based approach)

**Design Note:** `emailrules_update` uses individual parameters instead of a dict parameter. This is a valid design choice that achieves the same validation goals.

Evidence from `email_rules.py`:

**Parameters (lines 472-481):**
```python
def emailrules_update(
    rule_id: str,
    account_id: str,
    display_name: str | None = None,
    conditions: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    actions: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    sequence: int | None = None,
    is_enabled: bool | None = None,
    exceptions: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
) -> dict[str, Any]:
```

**Validation implementation:**
- display_name: String validation with trimming (lines 505-525)
- conditions: Nested structure validation via `_validate_rule_predicates` (line 528)
- actions: Nested structure validation via `_validate_rule_actions` (line 531)
- sequence: >= 1 validation (lines 533-552)
- is_enabled: Boolean validation (line 555)
- exceptions: Nested structure validation (line 558)
- Empty update check (lines 560-568)

**Notes:**
✅ Sequence validation: must be >= 1 (lines 543-551)
✅ Nested structure validation for conditions/actions
✅ At least one field required (lines 560-568)
✅ Type validation for all parameters

#### ✅ Testing - COMPLETE

Evidence from `tests/test_email_rules_validation.py`:

```python
# Lines 11-20: Test sequence validation
test_emailrules_update_rejects_sequence_below_one()
- Tests: sequence=0
- Verifies: ValidationError raised

# Lines 22-28: Test empty updates
test_emailrules_update_requires_updates()
- Tests: All parameters None
- Verifies: ValidationError raised

# Lines 30-74: Test payload normalization
test_emailrules_update_normalises_payload()
- Tests: display_name trimming, conditions/actions validation
- Verifies: Proper structure

# Lines 76-84: Test invalid actions
test_emailrules_update_rejects_invalid_actions()
- Tests: Malformed actions dict
- Verifies: ValidationError raised
```

### Section 1e: Skip `file_update` (Not Dict-Based)

**Location:** `src/microsoft_mcp/tools/file.py:191-210`

#### ✅ Decision - CORRECTLY SKIPPED

**Tasklist Requirement:** Skip because file_update updates file **content**, not properties via dict

**Status:** ✅ CORRECT - NOT APPLICABLE

Evidence from `file.py:191-210`:

```python
def file_update(
    file_id: str,
    local_file_path: str,  # File path, not dict
    account_id: str,
) -> dict[str, Any]:
```

**Rationale:**
- file_update(file_id, local_file_path, account_id) updates file CONTENT
- Not a property update dict like other *_update tools
- No dict validation needed - path validation already handled

✅ Correctly excluded from Phase 3 dict validation scope

---

   - All 4 applicable update tools have allowed key whitelisting
   - Unknown keys rejected with clear error messages
   - Type-specific validation for each field type
   - Normalization (trimming, case-folding) consistently applied

2. **Systematic Limit Validation**
   - All 13 tools with limit parameters validated
   - Consistent approach using `validate_limit` helper
   - Proper bounds checking with clear error messages
   - Removed implicit clamping (min()) in favor of explicit validation

3. **Code Quality**
   - Consistent use of shared validators
   - Proper error message formatting
   - Full type annotations throughout
   - Clean separation of concerns

4. **Test Coverage**
   - Dedicated test files for each tool category
   - Comprehensive coverage of valid/invalid cases
   - Parametrized testing for search tools
   - Integration tests verify Graph API payload structure

5. **Documentation Quality**
   - Clear docstrings with allowed keys documented
   - Valid ranges documented for all limits
   - Comprehensive Args, Returns, and Raises sections
   - CHANGELOG.md comprehensively updated

### Implementation Highlights

1. **Phase 2 Deferred Item Completed:**
   - calendar_update_event now includes attendees validation
   - Properly integrated with datetime and timezone validation
   - Maintains deduplication and limit enforcement

2. **emailrules_update Design Pattern:**
   - Uses parameter-based approach instead of dict
   - Achieves same validation goals
   - Validates individual parameters with proper types
   - Nested structure validation for conditions/actions

3. **Validation Strategy Enhancement:**
   - Changed from implicit clamping to explicit validation
   - "Reject, don't clamp" provides better error messages
   - Users get clear feedback on invalid input

4. **Search Events Enhancement:**
   - Days validation (0-730 = 2 years max)
   - Uses same validate_limit for consistency
   - Integration tests verify date filtering works

### Minor Observations

1. **validate_limit Usage:**
   - Some calls include param_name, some don't
   - Doesn't affect functionality but could be standardized
   - No impact on error messages (defaults work correctly)

2. **Breaking Changes Properly Managed:**
   - Removed min() clamping is a breaking change
   - But provides better UX with explicit validation
   - Documented in CHANGELOG.md

---

## Recommendations for Phase 4

Based on the successful Phase 3 implementation:

1. **Folder Choice Validation:**
   - Apply similar pattern to email folder choices
   - Use validate_choices for allowed folders
   - Consistent error messages

2. **Query Parameter Validation:**
   - Non-empty checks for search queries
   - Length limits where appropriate
   - Maintain same validation patterns

3. **Path Parameter Validation:**
   - Already have ensure_safe_path from Critical Path
   - Apply to any remaining path parameters
   - Consistent security approach

4. **Final Coverage Review:**
   - Verify all 50 tools have appropriate validation
   - Document any intentionally unvalidated parameters
   - Complete validation coverage matrix
