Move files

Outcome

Copy selected files into a target folder and delete their original objects, reporting outcomes separately. Stored sharing records are not rewritten.

Before you start

• Verify identity, pin environment and organization, and discover a granted Bytes workspace before choosing file keys.
• The action requires files:write. Select a verified workspace resource separately from action input; a body field cannot supply a workspace grant.
• Scope org uses the verified workspace shared root; private uses the caller’s private subtree. The accepted legacy all value resolves to org and does not grant cross-organization browsing. The bucket input cannot switch the configured R2 binding.
• Authorize the described effect or private-data export before passing CLI --confirm or MCP confirm:true. GET listing/search can persist derived data; HTTP method alone does not establish a read-only action.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_bytes.files.move --detail --json
topolo resources topolo-bytes --json
topolo workspaces list topolo-bytes --json

• File keys are paths returned by files.list/search in the selected workspace and scope. Discover the granted workspace id; do not derive access from fixture ids.

Request

POST /api/files/move

Save action input as payload.json. The reviewed plan separates path identifiers, query fields and the HTTP body. Set BYTES_WORKSPACE_ID from granted resource discovery.

Inspect and test this action in the signed action console. A test response still requires the verification below.

Effects

• Moves files individually; successful changes remain if another file fails.

Interpret the response

This response does not return a guaranteed canonical target identifier. Keep the discovered request context and interpret its documented values without inventing a resource id.

Inspect summary.failed and each results row, then list original and target locations. Do not infer link continuity from a successful move.

The schema describes supported success fields; optional metadata and integration-dependent values may vary. Errors have the exact shapes shown in refused examples.

Worked examples

Actual exported Worker handlers with local Miniflare R2/KV. Auth, workspace grants, R2 multipart, notification, usage and semantic integrations are simulated at their configured test boundaries. Synthetic ids, timestamps and signed URLs confer no live access. No deployed provider outcome, external delivery or live grant is established. Upload-session credential values are explicitly redacted; binary responses use the tested SDK transport envelope. Replace synthetic identifiers through credential-scoped discovery. Refused scenarios document failure boundaries; they are not successful workflows.

Input · payload.json:

}

CLI:

topolo actions plan app_topolo_bytes.files.move --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$BYTES_WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --json

Captured local response · HTTP 400:

{
  "error": "No files specified"
}

HTTP 400. This request was refused; preserve the exact response and correct its cause before retrying.

Verify the result

• Inspect summary.failed and each results row, then list original and target locations. Do not infer link continuity from a successful move.

Errors and recovery

• No files specified (HTTP 400): Correct the exact fields using the discovered input schema and prerequisites. Refused input examples demonstrate errors and must not be executed as successful workflows.

Authentication, the action-input validator or resource middleware can refuse a request before this handler. Preserve the exact request id, error and selected credential context. The fixtures establish no live credentials or configured provider.

Recovery boundary

Keep original locations. Reverse only verified successful moves after checking collisions; no batch transaction restores the original state.

Related actions

• List files: List one page of files and directories in the verified workspace; eligible files can have derived thumbnails generated during listing.
