Frequently asked questions
What authentication does Box use?
Box supports Client Credentials Grant (CCG) for server-to-server auth. Create a Custom App in the Box Developer Console, select 'Server Authentication (Client Credentials Grant)', and get the Client ID and Client Secret.
Can I search file contents?
Yes. The search_content tool uses Box's full-text search engine. It searches inside documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and PDFs.
Does it support metadata queries?
Yes. The query_metadata tool supports Box metadata queries using SQL-like syntax against metadata templates applied to files and folders.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Box MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
