What find-dropbox-content does

The skill directs the agent through a read-only search flow in Dropbox. For broad queries, it calls search and handles pagination through result cursors. When a specific directory is mentioned, it executes list_folder with non-recursive listing to inspect immediate contents.

The workflow uses get_file_metadata on candidates to verify relevance prior to returning answers. Results include object types, paths or stable identifiers, timestamps, and reasoning behind each match.

Any destructive action or downloading is prohibited by design. The skill cannot move, share, or recover deleted items, so modifying content requires switching to dedicated tools.

What it helps with

  • locate documents in Dropbox using natural language queries
  • inspect immediate directory contents without recursive traversal
  • verify file modification dates and stable identifiers
  • identify exact asset paths prior to deeper processing

Example prompts for the agent

  • Locate the pitch deck for next quarter in my Dropbox.
  • Show me the files stored inside the client folder.
  • Search Dropbox for recent PDF contracts.
