In a workflow

As a step in a multi-step workflow DAG:

json
{
  "id": "s1",
  "agent": "analyst_tools",
  "action": "PROFILE_DATA",
  "args": {
    "input_path": "/Users/me/Documents/file.txt",
    "output_path": "/Users/me/Documents/file.txt",
    "sheet_name": "…"
  },
  "depends_on": [],
  "outputs": []
}

Direct call

For scripting, call it directly via POST /execute_tool. Every tool returns { success, message, data }.

bash
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/execute_tool \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool_name":"PROFILE_DATA","args":{"input_path":"/Users/me/Documents/file.txt","output_path":"/Users/me/Documents/file.txt","sheet_name":"…"}}'
