get_dropped_files

Instructions

Download all dropped files from a Joe Sandbox analysis.

This tool retrieves the 'dropped' archive from the specified analysis run and extracts
all contents into a local directory for further inspection.

Files are extracted as-is without renaming or classification.

Output path logic:
- If `save_path` is valid, dumps go to `{save_path}/droppedfiles/{webid}`
- If not, fallback is `droppedfiles/{webid}` under the current directory

Args:
    webid (str): Joe Sandbox analysis ID
    run (int, optional): Run index (default: 0)
    save_path (str, optional): Optional base path to save dumps

Returns:
    dict: {
        "output_directory": absolute path to extraction folder,
        "files": list of files with full path
        "note": status message (e.g. fallback notice)
    }

Implementation Reference

• jbxmcp/tools.py:836-869 (handler)

  The primary MCP tool handler for 'get_dropped_files'. Decorated with @mcp.tool() for automatic registration. Wraps the core download_dropped_files function, adding error handling and documentation.

  @mcp.tool()

• jbxmcp/core.py:509-552 (helper)

  The core helper function implementing the download and extraction logic. Downloads the 'bins' ZIP archive from Joe Sandbox API (password-protected with 'infected'), extracts files to a directory (with fallback path handling), and returns file paths.

• jbxmcp/server.py:19-19 (registration)

  Import of tools module in server.py, which executes the @mcp.tool() decorators to register all tools including get_dropped_files with the FastMCP server.
