OneNote Connector not working as intended

I was trying to create an agent in Copilot Studio that reads my to-do list in OneNote and updates my time tracker in Excel. The obvious choice was to use the Get Page Content tool for the agent to read from the note. Since my to-do list lives in a static page, I could configure the Notebook Key, Notebook Section, and the Page ID in the tool's config page as opposed to having the agent fill it out at runtime.
 
However, when I tested the agent, the tool call failed with a parsing error. I had chosen all the parameter values through the drop-down—which was auto-populated since my Microsoft account was linked.
 
The contents of the to-do list did not contain any special characters that might cause the parsing to fail. I have attached a screenshot for reference.

    For a solution that needs to reliably:
    • Read a OneNote to-do list
    • Process tasks
    • Update an Excel time tracker
    I would strongly recommend using a Power Automate flow as an intermediary layer. Have the agent call the flow, let the flow retrieve and clean the OneNote
     
    content, and then return structured text back to the agent. This approach is generally more stable and easier to troubleshoot than relying on the OneNote
     
    connector directly within Copilot Studio tools.
