The app runtime provides the following suite of objects - always accessible to your scripts. Collectively, they are referred to as a graph.

Documentation describing each object's properties and functions is also provided.

Name	Description
debug	Access debugging features useful during testing
runtime	Access to runtime information
tools	Access to a collection of general purpose tools
script	Access input parameters to your script (when applicable)
user	Access user interactions such as alerts and input validation
app	Access your app and its objects directly
teams	Access your organization's Teams communications
avatar	Access connected avatar (person, place, or thing)
ai	Access intelligence features (i.e. insights, models, etc)
iot	Access measurements captured from the Internet of Things (IoT) (i.e. medical devices)
cache	Access a cache resource throughout the entire app lifecycle
network	Access external Internet resources

Using Graph Objects

To demonstrate how scripting objects are used, below is an example app script that gets the user's first name from an app object (named 'firstName' in your app) and then displays a personalized welcome message (i.e. 'Hello, Jane!').

This task is easily accomplished using the app and user objects in just two lines of code!

// read the user's first name
var name = app.get('[firstName]');

// display a personalized welcome message
user.alert('Hello, ' + name + '!');

Note: Scripting objects are always accessible within your scripts.
