Containers

Promote a container file into workspace documents

Changed on

Copies a file from the container's sandbox prefix into the workspace's durable document storage, so it outlives the container. Returns the new document in the Files API shape, with a durable file id in the documents namespace. The copy counts against the workspace's storage quota. Unlike a direct upload, promoted files are downloadable.

post/containers/{container_id}/files/{file_id}/promote

Path parameters

container_idstring required

The canonical container id, exactly as returned in a bash/shell tool result — a restarted session has its own -r<nonce>-suffixed id. A session-derived id is always sess_ + the sanitized session key, which is not necessarily the raw session id that was sent.

Example:sess_abc123
file_idstring required

Container file id (cfile_ + base64url of the file path).

Example:cfile_b3V0L3JlcG9ydC5jc3Y

Response

The promoted file, as a workspace document.
