files_create_uploadReserve a pre-signed PUT slot. Returns `file_id`, the upload URL, the headers to echo on the PUT, and a `next_tool_call` recipe — `tag_file` by default, `extract_document` with `purpose='extract'`. One slot type: any slot works with either tool.tag_fileRun the FileTag pipeline on an uploaded slot: metadata, six filename patterns, and a short-lived enriched-file URL.tag_urlFetch a public HTTPS URL server-side and tag it — the bytes never pass through the model context.extract_documentRun one or more extraction types on an uploaded slot (from `files_create_upload`): `invoice_headers`, `invoice_line_items`, `custom_template`, `ocr` (plain text; runs only on the `praetorian` model), plus the legacy `document_details_hebrew` / `document_line_items_hebrew` (praetorian-only, not reco…get_extraction_resultPoll an asynchronous extraction by `meta.correlationId`.list_extractionsList past extractions, newest first, with filters and pagination.get_extractionFetch one extraction by id, including the full extracted data.get_documentFetch one document by id, including all of its extractions.add_document_extractionsRun more extraction types on a document Gemina already stores (by id) — no re-upload; paid per extraction.
