Perplexity

View and Manage Project Files

Need to know what files are sitting in your project? You can run `list_files` to see all stored media, supporting pagination so you don't get overwhelmed by results. It also lets you check immutable file collections using `list_file_groups`, which is useful for grouping related assets.

Modify and Copy Assets

The agent handles the heavy lifting here. You can permanently delete files, but be warned: the `delete_file` action is irreversible, so double-check your request. Conversely, if you need a copy of an asset, the `copy_file` tool moves it to local or remote storage for later use.

Get Deep Technical Details

Before making any changes, get the full picture. Use `get_file_details` to pull technical metadata on a specific file. Want project-wide stats? Call `get_project_info` to retrieve usage statistics and overall project metadata.
