Box ACTION
Upload File Version
Uploads a new version of an existing Box file (max 50MB), replacing its current content; prior versions are kept in version history on premium accounts. Optionally rename the file at the same time. Use List File Versions to review version history afterward. See the documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Box account once, then configure and run Upload File Version from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "box-upload-file-version",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
box: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
folderId: "Folder",
fileId: "File",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()
// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:

name: "box-upload-file-version",
arguments: {
folderId: "Folder",
fileId: "File",
},

Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
