ADD_SHEET_XLSX

Adds a NEW sheet with data to an EXISTING Excel workbook. Does NOT overwrite other sheets. Use WRITE_XLSX to create the file first, then ADD_SHEET_XLSX for each additional sheet. Perfect for multi-sheet reports.

How to use it

You normally trigger this by describing what you want in chat — the agent selects ADD_SHEET_XLSX automatically. For example:

Try saying
“use xlsx handler to add …”

In a workflow

As a step in a multi-step workflow DAG:

json
{
  "id": "s1",
  "agent": "xlsx_handler",
  "action": "ADD_SHEET_XLSX",
  "args": {
    "path": "/Users/me/Documents/file.txt",
    "sheet_name": "…",
    "data": []
  },
  "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":"ADD_SHEET_XLSX","args":{"path":"/Users/me/Documents/file.txt","sheet_name":"…","data":[]}}'
