Ask the owner for a file

xora_upload_request

Shows the owner a file picker in the conversation for an action that takes a file. The owner chooses the file there; it is checked against the action's type and size limits and staged as a one-time upload, and its upload_reference is then posted into the conversation. This call reserves one empty upload slot, unused after ten minutes, and returns a Xorventa page where the owner can choose the file instead; it changes nothing else.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
noteNoA short line shown to the owner above the picker, e.g. which post the image is for.
actionYesThe action the file is for, e.g. upload_social_media.
post_idNoThe draft or scheduled post the media is for; only with upload_social_media.
campaign_idNoThe campaign a new draft with this media is for; only with upload_social_media.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
noteYes
stateYes
actionYes
post_idYes
run_withYesThe tool that runs the upload action once the file is ready.
max_bytesYes
next_stepYes
upload_idYesThe upload the owner can fill at owner_upload_url; its state is read by this id, and when ready its upload_reference is the value the action accepts as upload_id.
attach_withYesWhere the uploaded media goes next, when a post or campaign was named.
campaign_idYes
reason_codeYes
accepted_typesYes
owner_upload_urlYesA Xorventa page where the owner can choose the file instead of the card, valid for 10 minutes.

A3.7/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Adds meaningful behavior beyond the annotations: the file is checked against the action's type/size limits, staged as a one-time upload, and the slot expires after ten minutes unused. It also states the call 'changes nothing else,' which contextualizes the non-idempotent hint. Auth requirements and rate limits remain undisclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core action and reasonably sized, but the back half is dense and slightly confusing: 'the owner chooses the file there' in the picker versus the return of a Xorventa page where the owner chooses the file 'instead' reads as two competing mechanisms.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

An output schema exists, so return values needn't be explained, and the description covers the interaction flow, staging, and slot TTL adequately. Only the missing when-to-use guidance against sibling upload tools leaves a small gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents note, action, post_id and campaign_id in detail. The description references the action's type/size limits but adds no syntax or format beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource: reserving an upload slot and showing the owner a file picker for an action that takes a file. The upload/staging flow distinguishes it from a generic upload, though it never names a sibling (e.g. xora_upload_from_url, xora_upload_prepare) to sharpen differentiation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied through 'for an action that takes a file' and the post/campaign context. There is no explicit when-to-use-vs-alternative guidance for choosing this over xora_upload_from_url or xora_upload_prepare, so the agent must infer the routing.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
