postFileProcess

Import a staged file into a target schema/table with options for dry-run mode, append, coordinate system handling, and more.

Instructions

Import a staged file into a target schema/table. Supports dry-run, append, SRS, and more.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
fileYesUploaded file name to import.
schemaYesDestination schema name.
importNoIf false, run a dry-run (no changes).
t_srsNoFallback target SRS. Used if no authority name/code is available.EPSG:4326
s_srsNoFallback source SRS. Used if the file has no projection information.EPSG:4326
appendNoAppend to an existing table instead of creating a new one.
p_multiNoPromote single-part geometries to multi-part.
truncateNoTruncate table before appending. Only applies when append is true.
timestampNoName of timestamp field to create. Omit to skip creating a timestamp field.
x_possible_namesNoPossible column names for X/longitude (CSV only).lon*,Lon*,x,X
y_possible_namesNoPossible column names for Y/latitude (CSV only).lat*,Lat*,y,Y
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It mentions dry-run and safe options, but lacks details on mutation behavior (e.g., whether it overwrites, what happens to existing data), authentication needs, rate limits, or return values. The parameter 'truncate' scoping is explained only in the param schema, not the main description.

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 description is concise (one sentence plus feature list) and front-loaded with the core action. However, the phrase 'and more' is vague and reduces precision. Overall, it is appropriately sized for a summary.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity (11 parameters, no output schema, no annotations), the description should provide more context about the import workflow, order of operations, or expected response. It lacks completeness for an AI agent to fully understand the tool's behavior.

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?

The input schema provides 100% coverage with descriptions for all 11 parameters. The main description adds minimal value beyond the schema, only giving a high-level summary of supported features. No additional parameter-level guidance or constraints are offered.

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 clearly states the action 'Import a staged file into a target schema/table' and highlights key features (dry-run, append, SRS). It distinguishes itself from sibling tools like postFileUpload and postSql by focusing on importing staged files into specific schemas/tables.

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?

The description implies usage for importing staged files with support for various options, but it does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., postFileUpload) or any prerequisites. No when-not-to-use guidance is provided.

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