List Attachments

In TheBrain 15, the command or endpoint "List Attachments" (corresponding to API endpoints like

GET/thoughts/{brainId}/{thoughtId}/attachments

or

GET/links/{brainId}/{linkId}/attachments)

is used to query and return an inventory of all files, documents, local paths, or web URLs linked to a specific thought or connection line.

Core Functions & Capabilities

• Enumeration of Assets: It pulls a structured list of everything attached to a target node (such as PDFs, images, spreadsheets, local folders, or external URLs) without needing to open the files or load their binary content.

• API and Scripting Integration: When building local HTTP API scripts or automation workflows in v.15, this tool allows external code or AI agents to inspect a thought's contents programmatically to see what supporting documentation is tied to it.

• Link-Level Attachments: It can also target specific relationships (/links/{brainId}/{linkId}/attachments), listing attachments that exist natively on a connection line between two thoughts rather than just the thoughts themselves.

Primary Use Cases

• Automated File Management: Scripts can loop through a thought's attachments to check file types, verify local file paths, or back up referenced documents.

• Metadata Auditing: Quickly reviewing what resources are housed under a specific category or record node during large-scale database curation.
