Image Files

List Files

List uploaded files from your Lab Nocturne Images account with pagination and sorting.

Invocation

/files [options] — also triggered naturally (e.g. "list my hosted images", "show my image uploads", "what images have I stored", "find the image I uploaded earlier").

Options can be specified naturally (e.g. /files newest first, /files limit 10, /files page 2).

Instructions

1. Parse options

Extract optional parameters from the user's input:

• limit: number of files to return (1-100, default 100)
• offset: number of files to skip for pagination (default 0)
• sort: one of uploaded_at_desc (default), uploaded_at_asc, size_desc, size_asc

Map natural language to sort values:

• "newest first", "most recent" → uploaded_at_desc
• "oldest first" → uploaded_at_asc
• "largest first", "biggest" → size_desc
• "smallest first" → size_asc

If the user asks for "page N", calculate offset as (N - 1) * limit.

2. Authenticate

Follow the steps in references/auth.md to resolve the API key and base URL.

3. Fetch the file list

Run:

curl -s -w '\n%{http_code}' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <api_key>" \
  "<base_url>/files?limit=<limit>&offset=<offset>&sort=<sort>"

Parse the last line as the HTTP status code and everything before it as the response body.

4. Handle the response

Success (HTTP 200) — the response body is:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "id": "img_...",
      "url": "https://cdn.labnocturne.com/...",
      "filename": "photo.jpg",
      "size": 245678,
      "mime_type": "image/jpeg",
      "uploaded_at": "2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "total": 50,
    "limit": 100,
    "offset": 0,
    "next": "https://..."
  }
}

Present to the user as a formatted list:

• For each file show: ID, filename, size (human-readable, e.g. "240 KB"), type (mime_type), uploaded (relative time, e.g. "2 days ago")
• After the list, show pagination info: "Showing X-Y of Z files"
• If there are more files (i.e. pagination.next is present), tell the user how to see the next page (e.g. "Use /files page 2 to see more")
• If the list is empty, tell the user they have no uploaded files yet. Suggest using /upload <path> to get started

Error — see references/auth.md for common error codes. If the server returns a non-JSON response or an unexpected HTTP status, tell the user the API may be temporarily unavailable.
