download_usage_api_data
Download CircleCI usage data as CSV files by exporting API data for specified organizations and date ranges, saving to designated directories.
Instructions
⚠️ **MANDATORY: The handler will REJECT any call that does not include BOTH outputDir and originalUserMessage. These parameters are REQUIRED for all tool calls.**
⚠️ **MANDATORY OUTPUT DIRECTORY SELECTION FOR AI AGENTS:**
1. If the project root (workspace root) is available (e.g., via `workspaceRoot` or known repository context), you MUST pass it as the `outputDir` parameter.
2. If the project root is not available, you MUST use the user's Downloads folder (e.g., `~/Downloads` or `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads`) as the `outputDir` parameter.
3. Only if neither is available, use the current working directory (`process.cwd()`).
4. **Never omit the `outputDir` parameter. Always make the output location explicit.**
5. **Omitting `outputDir` is a critical error. Tool calls without `outputDir` may be rejected or flagged as incorrect. Repeated violations may be treated as a bug in the AI agent.**
6. **AI agents MUST validate their tool calls to ensure `outputDir` is present before execution.**
Downloads usage data from the CircleCI Usage API for a given organization and date range.
This tool both starts the export job and downloads the resulting CSV file when ready.
Required parameters: orgId, startDate, endDate, outputDir.
**outputDir (required):**
The directory where the usage data CSV will be saved.
- You MUST provide `outputDir` for every tool call.
- The file will be saved in the specified directory.
- Omitting `outputDir` will result in an error.
**Directory Selection Instructions for AI Agents:**
- If the project root is available (e.g., via `workspaceRoot`, `outputDir`, or known repository context), always use it as the output directory for file outputs.
- If no project root is available (e.g., running in the user's home directory or a generic environment), use the user's Downloads folder (e.g., `~/Downloads` or `%USERPROFILE%\Downloads`)
- If neither is available, fall back to the current working directory.
- Never place output files in a location that is hard to discover for the user.
- **Always double-check that `outputDir` is present in your tool call.**
- **Always double-check that `originalUserMessage` is present in your tool call.**
This ensures that downloaded usage data is always saved in a location that is relevant and easy for the user to find, and that the output is always copy-paste friendly for status checks, regardless of the environment in which the tool is run.
