Tools & capabilities

Gemina FileTag tools 13

  • 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. Two modes: wait for the values (default), or `wait=false` to file the document for later search and return at once.
  • submit_extraction_feedbackSend verified/corrected field values back — the extraction-quality feedback loop.
  • query_documentsSearch your indexed documents: `structured` filters, `semantic` similarity, or `hybrid` (best default).
  • aggregate_documentsSums/averages/min/max/counts over indexed documents, grouped by vendor, currency, type, month, and more.

Anymd tools 4

  • inspectDocument and media evidence when Markdown is not enough. video_timeline (bounded scene/cue timeline) and render_frame (actual decoded frames), and cite_check (quote/location support, not semantic truth), are anymd Pro; PDF operations: inspect (page facts, metadata), render_page (PNG images), extract_regions (crop bounding boxes), ocr_pages / analyze_regions (configured OCR or vision provider), structure (JSON with document map, elements, geometry; profile quality|research adds trust and accessibility reports), compare (page-level diff of sources[0] vs sources[1]).
  • outlineReturn a document heading tree with stable node ids, title paths, page/slide/chapter ranges and Markdown byte ranges. PDF bookmarks or detected headings, Word headings, PowerPoint slides, EPUB chapters and headings, HTML and Markdown. format json (default) or tree. Pass a node id to read to fetch that section.
  • readRead any document as clean Markdown: PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), Excel (XLSX/XLS/ODS), CSV, EPUB, HTML or a web URL, Markdown/text, images (metadata + OCR), audio/video (metadata, chapters, subtitles). Pages/slides/sheets carry <!-- page N --> style markers for citation. Long documents stop at max_tokens (default 20000) and end with a cursor to continue; choose pages with pages: "1-5,8". A directory returns its readable files.
  • searchSearch documents for text: one file, many files, whole directories (recursive, .gitignore aware), or URLs, across every format read supports. Returns each hit as file + page/slide/sheet + a snippet with the match in bold. mode auto (default) finds the exact phrase and falls back to BM25-ranked passages when there is none; literal or ranked force one. Narrow directories with glob, e.g. "*.pdf".
