Hi everyone,
I’m a UiPath beginner and I’m currently stuck. I’ve made an HTTP request to a URL to retrieve an invoice PDF. It returns the PDF in binary format, and I’d like to pass it to an agent so it can analyze it using its multimodal capabilities.
Do you have any idea of how to it ?
Thank you ! 
Hi @Theo_l,
You can’t pass raw binary data directly to an agent.
Do this instead:
Save the HTTP response as a PDF file
Pass the file (or file path) to the agent for analysis
Agents support files/text inputs, not byte arrays. This is the supported approach in Agent Builder
Welcome to the community
better approach would be to add a tool to convert binary data to file and pass the file or read the file and pass the data
cheers
Thank you for your feedback ! Just for you to know i’m on UiPath studio cloud and i’m not sure where the file is stored to pass it to the agent, find bellow the node configuration :
In Studio Cloud, the file is saved in the job’s working directory, not on your local machine.
To pass it to the agent:
Set Output file target folder to a known path (e.g. project folder)
Use the same file path string (e.g. invoice.pdf or full path variable) as the agent input
You don’t need to browse the file manually
just pass the exact path you used in the HTTP Request to the agent.
Hi @Theo_l
So your flow is: HTTP Request → Save PDF → Send file to agent for analysis.
Hi everyone,
I found the solution thanks to everyone !
I created a tool “get_attachement” with an array input
Then loop over urls and get all the files, and finally returns a file array to the agent directly. After I can analyze the content with “Analyse Files” tool
Have a good day
