Get Claude-generated file metadata

get /v1/compliance/apps/chats/generated-files/{claude_gen_file_id}

Returns metadata for a file the assistant created via tool use.

Metadata is read from Filestore (the durable backing store for per-conversation tool outputs). Use the sibling /content endpoint to download the bytes.

Path Parameters

• claude_gen_file_id: string

  The generated-file id (e.g., 'claude_gen_file_abc123') as returned in chat_messages[].generated_files[].id from GET /apps/chats/{claude_chat_id}/messages.

Header Parameters

• "x-api-key": optional string

Returns

• id: string

  Opaque generated-file id, e.g. 'claude_gen_file_abc123'.

• claude_chat_id: string

  The chat this generated file belongs to

• created_at: string

  File creation timestamp from Filestore

• filename: string

  Display name of the generated file

• md5: string

  Lowercase hex MD5 of the stored file, as recorded by Filestore. Null when no stored hash is available. The sibling /content endpoint also sets a Content-MD5 header (base64 per RFC 1864) computed over the exact served bytes.

• mime_type: string

  MIME type as recorded by Filestore, when available

• size_bytes: number

  Size in bytes of the stored file, when available
