Limitations & out-of-scope
External Collaboration Report: Detective control only: findings are reported, never auto-remediated. Severity rankings use the documented heuristic and may diverge from Microsoft Secure Score. Detection coverage stops at the Graph permission surface declared above — workloads behind tenant-licensed add-ons (Defender XDR, Purview eDiscovery Premium) require the matching license to enumerate.
