Extract or analyze information from one or more files using a natural language prompt and return a SINGLE response.

This tool provides maximum flexibility for data extraction and analysis. Instead of defining structured fields, you simply ask Box AI a question or give it instructions in natural language. When multiple files are provided, Box AI analyzes ALL files together to provide ONE comprehensive answer.

This is the most flexible extraction tool but provides unstructured results. Use structured extraction tools (template-based or field-based) when you need consistent, machine-readable output.

Use cases:

• Single file analysis: "What are the key terms of this contract?"

• Multiple files analysis: "Compare the pricing across these three proposals and summarize differences"

• Complex questions: "Based on these financial documents, what are the main risk factors?"

• Summarization: "Provide a 3-paragraph summary of the main points across these meeting notes"

NOT for batch processing: If you need to ask the same question about multiple files separately (e.g., "summarize each report individually"), call this tool once per file in a loop.

Args: ctx (Context): The context object containing the request and lifespan context. file_ids (List[str]): A list of file IDs to extract information from, example: ["1234567890", "0987654321"]. prompt (str): The fields to extract. ai_agent_id (Optional[str]): The ID of the AI agent to use for the extraction. If None, the default AI agent will be used. Returns: dict: The AI response containing the extracted information.

Extract structured data from one or more files using custom fields and return a SINGLE data instance (Enhanced version).

This enhanced tool analyzes the provided file(s) and extracts information based on custom field definitions you provide. When multiple files are provided, Box AI combines information from ALL files to create ONE complete data record.

Enhanced features:

• Uses advanced AI models (e.g., Google Gemini) for improved accuracy

• Better handling of complex document layouts and image quality

• More robust extraction for handwritten or low-quality scans

• Improved understanding of complex field relationships

Unlike template-based extraction, this tool allows you to define fields on-the-fly without creating a metadata template in Box first. This is useful for ad-hoc data extraction or when you need fields that don't match any existing template.

Use cases:

• Single file: Extract custom fields from one document

• Multiple files: Combine data from multiple sources into one data instance (e.g., extract patient info from medical records, lab results, and prescription images)

NOT for batch processing: If you need to extract data from multiple files as separate instances, call this tool once per file in a loop.
