Really helpful to integrate Microsoft into my Hermes agent\n\nNoticed that `uv tool install outlook-graph-mcp==1.22.0` pulls the latest `microsoft-kiota-*` (1.14.0), because nothing caps its version. \n\nTested these: \n\n| kiota | msgraph-sdk | result |\n|---|---|---|\n| 1.14.0 | 1.62.0 | fails |\n| 1.13.0 | 1.62.0 | fails |\n| 1.12.3 | 1.63.0 | works |\n\nMy workaround was to constrain to an older version",

For a single event that is lossy but harmless — the instant is correct, and only the zone it was scheduled in is lost.
