Upload statement content

well_upload_statement_content

Upload a bank statement's TEXT CONTENT (a .csv, .txt, or .xml file) directly, as an alternative to well_create_statement_upload's out-of-band file POST.

Use it when the user's statement is a small text file whose contents are verbatim in this conversation (1 MiB decoded limit). Send the content EXACTLY as you received it — never reformat, summarize, transcribe from memory, or reconstruct rows. A mangled relay imports wrong financial data.

This path is BEST-EFFORT fidelity: what Well ingests is what you relayed, not a byte-verified copy of the user's file. The response carries content_sha256 and byte_length of what the server received — report them so a corrupted relay is visible. The parsed rows, totals, and import outcome arrive via well_get_statement_import_result with the returned document_id, not in this response.

PDFs and images NEVER go here (the model cannot relay their bytes faithfully) — use well_upload_statement_bytes. XML with DOCTYPE/ENTITY declarations is rejected. Upload one statement file per call — call this tool once per file. The document enters the same import pipeline as an in-app upload (detection, dedup, promotion).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
filenameYesThe statement's file name, e.g. "statement.csv". Only its extension selects the format.
content_textYesThe file's full text content, verbatim. UTF-8 encoded on the wire; capped at 1 MiB decoded.
workspace_idNoTarget workspace. Omit when the token authorizes one workspace. Required when it authorizes several — a write lands in exactly one workspace and this call would not say which.
conversation_idNoThe conversation id returned by the previous Well result, in its meta under well/conversation_id, in its structuredContent, or in its JSON text block. Pass it back on every call in the same conversation, including a call a card makes, so the chosen workspace and the earlier answers still apply. It decides the conversation on its own: nothing the host states about the session replaces it. Omit it only on the first call of a conversation.
idempotency_keyNoOptional client-supplied key. A retried write with the same key returns the original result instead of re-applying the operation.
workspace_scopeNoRestrict this call to the family: the token's primary workspace plus the company workspaces under it that you are a member of. Unrelated authorized workspaces drop out of the read; row reads merge across the family, while a per-workspace figure still reports exactly one workspace.

Output Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
errorNo
successYes
byte_lengthNo
document_idNoPoll well_get_statement_import_result with this id for the import outcome.
deduplicatedNoTrue when an identical document was already in the workspace — nothing was imported twice.
content_sha256NoSHA-256 (hex) of the payload the server received — compare against your source to verify fidelity.
conversation_idNoThe conversation this result belongs to. Pass it back as the conversation_id argument on every later Well call in the same conversation.
newly_connectedNoTools that connected to this workspace since the last result and that no session was told about yet, oldest first. Present only when at least one tool is new. The connected-line rule says when to tell an entry; when it does, one line per entry, in the person's language: "<name> is connected.". Never fold several entries into one sentence. Each entry comes back once, on one result only: never repeat its line later.
conversation_id_noteNoPresent only when the server opened a fresh lane, stating that no choice recorded earlier was read.
conversation_id_sourceNoWhere the conversation id came from: the host's own request meta, the caller's argument, or a fresh lane the server opened.

TDQS

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Annotations only declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false; the description adds substantial context on top: best-effort (not byte-verified) fidelity, content_sha256 and byte_length in the response, where the parsed rows/outcome actually surface (well_get_statement_import_result via document_id), and that the file enters the same detection/dedup/promotion pipeline. This goes well beyond what the annotations convey.

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?

The definition is long but front-loaded (what it does, then when, then cautions) and every sentence carries actionable information (relay fidelity, response fields, pipeline behavior, exclusions). It is dense rather than padded, though a few sentences could be tightened.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a write tool with an output schema present, the description still tells the agent what the response carries (content_sha256, byte_length) and explicitly redirects to well_get_statement_import_result for the parsed outcome, so nothing needed to call it correctly is missing.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3, but the prose adds real meaning: the verbatim-relay requirement, the warning about mangled relays importing wrong data, that only the filename extension selects format, and the one-file-per-call constraint. It reinforces rather than merely repeats the schema.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description names a specific verb and resource ('Upload a bank statement's TEXT CONTENT') and immediately distinguishes itself from two siblings: well_create_statement_upload (out-of-band file POST) and well_upload_statement_bytes (PDFs/images). An agent can select among these three without opening any schema.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

It gives explicit when-to-use ('small text file whose contents are verbatim in this conversation, 1 MiB decoded limit'), explicit when-not-to-use ('PDFs and images NEVER go here'), and names the correct alternative (well_upload_statement_bytes). It also states the one-file-per-call rule and the XML DOCTYPE/ENTITY rejection condition.

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