Research direction

Start by reviewing the requested raw OAuth access-token authentication flow and compare it with the linked duplicate issue, microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-java#961. Identify the Python SDK entry point for creating an MSGraphClient and determine what documentation or implementation scope would be needed to make the requested usage clear.
