Microsoft Graph and the Bot/Agents Toolkit expose substantial programmatic control—creating teams/channels, posting messages, managing webhooks, exporting chats, and building agents/bots/tabs—but this is a broad SDK/app-extension surface, not a documented 1:1 API mirror of every UI action (e.g., meetings/calls, reactions, threading UI). A community report also notes API integration requires the full Azure/Graph stack, unlike simpler alternatives, indicating friction rather than seamless UI-API parity.
