Query files

Execute a query against files.

Consistency: Eventually Consistent (for API version >= 2026-03-13)

Clients using API version < 2026-03-13: Strongly consistent reads

Override: Send X-Roboto-Connection-Consistency header to explicitly control behavior

This endpoint uses eventual consistency for improved performance and scalability. Results may not immediately reflect very recent writes. If you’ve just created or updated files and don’t see them in the results, retry after a brief delay.

ingestion_statusIngestionStatus

Enumeration of file ingestion status values in the Roboto platform.

Ingestion status tracks whether a file's data has been processed and extracted into topics for analysis and visualization. This status determines what platform features are available for the file and whether it can trigger automated workflows.

File ingestion happens as a post-upload processing step. Roboto supports many common robotics log formats (ROS bags, MCAP files, ULOG files, etc.) out-of-the-box. Custom ingestion actions can be written for other formats.

When writing custom ingestion actions, be sure to update the file's ingestion status to mark it as fully ingested. This enables triggers and other automated workflows that depend on complete ingestion.

Ingested files have first-class visualization support and can be queried through the topic data system.

statusFileStatus

Enumeration of possible file status values in the Roboto platform.

File status tracks the lifecycle state of a file from initial upload through to availability for use. This status is managed automatically by the platform and affects file visibility and accessibility.

The typical file lifecycle is: Reserved → Available → (optionally) Deleted.

Allowed:availabledeletedreserved

storage_typeFileStorageType

Enumeration of file storage types in the Roboto platform.

Storage type indicates how the file was added to the platform and affects access patterns and permissions. This information is used internally for credential management and access control.

400

Thrown when the conversation context (messages, system prompt, tool results) exceeds the model's context window limit.

The token estimate and the model's context limit are not carried on the exception, so a caller cannot read usage numbers off it.

500

An error the platform reported that this SDK release cannot resolve to a specific exception class.

Reported for an element of a :py:class:~roboto.http.BatchResponse whose error names a code this release defines no class for, or that arrived without a code, without a message, or as text that is not an error envelope at all. It carries whatever code and message the platform sent, so a caller handling the failure still learns what went wrong; when no message could be read, the message is the error's raw text.

The error envelope carries no status code, so http_status_code reports the 500 inherited from :py:class:RobotoDomainException rather than the status the failure actually had.
