Generate PDF Tool

Generate PDF Tool

This tool turns content from a conversation into a formatted, downloadable PDF report. It is what powers the out-of-the-box Generate PDF from a Chat agent.

The agent writes a short program that lays out the report (headings, paragraphs, tables, lists), and the tool renders it to a professional PDF and saves it as a downloadable asset. The rendering runs in a sandbox with resource limits (30-second timeout, capped memory), so it is safe to expose to an agent.

When to use it

Add this tool to an agent that should produce a shareable document at the end of a task: a summary of an analysis, a report built from query results, or a written record of a conversation.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Suggested scope	What it does
code	Yes	string	Agent determined	The layout program the agent generates. It builds the report sections; the tool renders them. You do not write this by hand.
title	Yes	string	Agent determined	A short noun phrase (3–8 words) used as the in-PDF title and the download filename. Plain letters, numbers, and spaces only.

Note

Both parameters are Agent determined in normal use: the agent generates the report layout and a fitting title from the conversation. You typically add this tool without changing its parameter scopes.

See Configuring tool parameters for what the scope column means.

Output

The tool saves the rendered PDF as a downloadable asset and returns its asset ID. In a chat surface, the PDF appears as a downloadable attachment in the agent’s response.

Limits

• Maximum rendered PDF size: 20 MB.
• Up to 200 sections per document.
• Rendering times out after 30 seconds.
