Integration Patterns

With Execution Tools

With Data Analysis Tools

# Integration with data analysis workflow
def integrated_data_analysis():
    """Complete data analysis workflow with file management."""
    
    # 1. File upload and organization
    raw_data_files = await uploadFile({
        'files': user_selected_files,
        'destination': '/sandbox/raw_data/'
    })
    
    # 2. Data discovery and cataloging
    data_files = await listFiles({
        'path': '/sandbox/raw_data/',
        'filter': {'extensions': ['.csv', '.xlsx', '.json']}
    })
    
    # 3. Automated data profiling
    for file_info in data_files:
        # Read file metadata
        metadata = await fileMetadata({'path': file_info['path']})
        
        # Analyze data structure (using xlsx-analysis capabilities)
        if file_info['path'].endswith('.xlsx'):
            analysis_result = await xlsxAnalysis({
                'filePath': file_info['path'],
                'operation': 'profile'
            })
            
            # Save analysis report

                'content': JSON.stringify(analysis_result, null, 2)
            })
    
    # 4. Process and transform data
    # (Code execution happens here)
    
    # 5. Generate and save reports
    report_files = await listFiles({
        'path': '/sandbox/analysis/',
        'filter': {'extensions': ['.json', '.csv', '.txt']}
    })
    
    # 6. Package all results for download
    await fileManipulation({
        'operation': 'compress',
        'source': '/sandbox/analysis/',
        'destination': '/sandbox/deliverables/analysis_package.zip'

Security Guidelines

🔐 Security Best Practices

File Upload Security

  1. File Validation - Always validate file types and content before processing
  2. Size Limits - Respect file size limits and monitor total storage usage
  3. Virus Scanning - All uploads are automatically scanned for malware
  4. Content Filtering - Sensitive content is automatically detected and flagged

Access Control

  1. Path Validation - All file paths are validated to prevent directory traversal
  2. Permission Checks - File operations respect sandbox permission boundaries
  3. Audit Logging - All file operations are logged for security monitoring
  4. Encryption - Files are encrypted at rest within the sandbox environment

Data Protection

  1. Data Sanitization - File contents are sanitized before download
  2. Temporary Cleanup - Temporary files are automatically cleaned up
  3. Secure Deletion - Deleted files are securely overwritten
  4. Backup Management - Regular backups with secure retention policies

Next Steps: Start with File Upload to transfer files to sandbox, or explore File Search for organizing and finding files.
