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.
