# Send Box to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Box

Access the Box API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage files, folders, collaborations, shared links, and cloud storage.

### Quick Start

# Get current user info
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/{resource}

The gateway proxies requests to api.box.com/2.0 and automatically injects your OAuth token.

### Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

### Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
Copy your API key

### Connection Management

Manage your Box OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

### List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=box&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'box'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "bd484938-0902-4fc0-9ffb-2549d7d91f1d",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-08T21:14:41.808115Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-08T21:16:10.100340Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "box",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Box connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'bd484938-0902-4fc0-9ffb-2549d7d91f1d')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

### Pagination

Box uses offset-based pagination:

GET /box/2.0/folders/0/items?limit=100&offset=0
GET /box/2.0/folders/0/items?limit=100&offset=100

Some endpoints use marker-based pagination with marker parameter.

{
  "total_count": 250,
  "entries": [...],
  "offset": 0,
  "limit": 100
}

### JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders/0/items',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': \`Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}\`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

### Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders/0/items',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()

### Python (Create Folder)

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'name': 'New Folder',
        'parent': {'id': '0'}
    }
)
folder = response.json()
print(f"Created folder: {folder['id']}")

### Notes

Root folder ID is 0
File uploads use upload.box.com instead of api.box.com
Delete operations return 204 No Content on success
Use fields parameter to request specific fields and reduce response size
Shared links can have password protection and expiration dates
Some operations (list users, create webhooks) require enterprise admin permissions
ETags can be used for conditional updates with If-Match header
IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

### Error Handling

StatusMeaning400Missing Box connection or bad request401Invalid or missing Maton API key403Insufficient permissions for the operation404Resource not found409Conflict (e.g., item with same name exists)429Rate limited4xx/5xxPassthrough error from Box API

Box errors include detailed messages:

{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 409,
  "code": "item_name_in_use",
  "message": "Item with the same name already exists"
}

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with box. For example:

Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me
Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/2.0/users/me
