## What it does

The skill manages Dropbox link creation and link inspection. When triggered, the assistant locates the target with search or directory listing tools, checks metadata, and scans through active links to see whether a valid link already exists.

It asks for explicit user approval before calling `create_shared_link`. Once created, the agent outputs the URL, states whether it reused an existing link, and reports effective expiration or password settings.

Sharing directly with named recipients or viewers will fail. The required MCP tools for recipient-based sharing are not available, so link-based sharing remains the only working option.
