Verify Site Connection and Identity

Confirm the SharePoint site is reachable, the token is valid, and lists are visible.

  1. Cheapest possible reachability check. A 200 here proves the site URL resolves and the bearer token is accepted before anything heavier runs.
  2. Resolve the identity behind the token. Confirms the integration is acting as the account you expect rather than a stale or over-scoped principal.
  3. Read the full site (web) properties, capturing the site id and the server-relative URL that folder and file operations depend on later.
  4. Enumerate the non-hidden lists and libraries the caller can see. An empty result with a 200 usually means the token's scopes are narrower than intended rather than that the site is empty.
What you'll need to have ready
