ThreatLocker Upload Requests

upload_requests

Request forensic file uploads from endpoints and retrieve existing upload requests for security investigation.

Instructions

Request and retrieve forensic file uploads from endpoints.

Common workflows:

  • Request a file upload: action=insert, uploadRequestId=, organizationId="...", computerId="...", shA256="..." (or filepath)

  • Retrieve an upload request: action=get, uploadRequestId="..."

Pitfalls:

  • The SHA-256 field is literally "shA256" (odd casing) in the API.

  • insert requires you to supply a fresh uploadRequestId GUID.

  • Writes are payload-verified, NOT live-tested.

Permissions: View Unified Audit / forensics.

Related tools: action_log (locate the file event), computers (get computerId)

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
hashNoThreatLocker hash of the file.
actionYesinsert=request a file upload from an endpoint (forensics), get=retrieve an upload request
shA256NoSHA-256 of the file (note the API field casing "shA256").
filenameNoFile name to upload.
filepathNoFull file path (use \\ for backslashes).
computerIdNoComputer GUID the file lives on (required for insert).
fetchAllPagesNoFetch all pages automatically (max 10 pages). Default: false (single page).
organizationIdNoOrganization GUID (required for insert).
response_formatNoOutput format: markdown (default, human-readable) or json (structured)markdown
uploadRequestIdNoUpload-request GUID. For insert, supply a NEW GUID; for get, the existing one.

TDQS

A4.9/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses important behavioral caveats beyond annotations: the field casing quirk 'shA256', the need for a fresh GUID on insert, and 'Writes are payload-verified, NOT live-tested.' Annotation contradictions: false; readOnlyHint=false is consistent with write operations.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Well-structured with 'Common workflows', 'Pitfalls', and 'Permissions' sections. Every sentence adds value, and key constraints are front-loaded before peripheral options.

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?

Given the 10 params, output schema, and annotations, the description covers the core actions, required fields, critical pitfalls, permissions, and related tools. Nothing an agent needs to invoke 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 coverage is 100%, but the description adds workflow-level meaning: which parameters are required for insert vs get, the new-GUID requirement for uploadRequestId, and the shA256 casing pitfall. This enriches the schema without duplicating it.

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?

Description clearly states the verb + resource: 'Request and retrieve forensic file uploads from endpoints.' It explicitly distinguishes the two core actions (insert vs get) and is clearly differentiated from related siblings like action_log and approval_requests.

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?

Provides explicit common workflows with exact action values and required parameters ('action=insert, uploadRequestId=<new GUID>...'), plus related tools for supporting context (action_log for locating events, computers for computerId). It also states permissions needed, giving clear guidance on when and how to use the tool.

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