The Box toolkit lets agents search and browse files and folders, read and download content, upload files and versions, create folders and Box Notes, move/copy/delete items, create shared links, and add collaborators. Authentication is per-user OAuth. Add it on the agent Toolkits tab. The first use prompts the user to connect Box if they have not already.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Box account with access to the content the agent should use
  • Box OAuth configured for your organization (admin)
  • An agent you can edit
  • Users must complete the Box OAuth connect flow when prompted

​
Setup

  1. Confirm an admin has configured Box OAuth (Client ID, Client Secret, redirect URI).
  2. Open the agent → Toolkits → add Box.
  3. Save the agent. In Chat, connect Box when prompted.
  4. @-mention Box tools in the personality prompt for file tasks.

Use cases

  • Find and summarize a document stored in Box
  • Upload a generated report into a project folder
  • Share a file link with a collaborator from chat

​
Tips

  • Access is limited to what the connected Box user can see and edit.
  • Prefer folder IDs from list/search results when paths are ambiguous.
  • For Dropbox or Google Drive, use those toolkits instead.
