uip context-grounding

Syntax and options for `uip context-grounding`, a bridge to the Python UiPath CLI for context grounding operations.

uip context-grounding is a thin bridge to the Python-based UiPath SDK's context grounding operations. It detects a suitable Python interpreter, confirms the uipath Python package is installed, and forwards everything else to the Python CLI as uipath context-grounding <args> — this tool defines no native subcommands of its own beyond setup.

Unlike uip codedagent, which only forwards a fixed whitelist of subcommand names, context-grounding-tool forwards any unrecognized command — there is no allowlist to consult before a new Python-side verb works here.

Sinopsis

uip context-grounding setup [--force]
uip context-grounding <any-command> [args...]
uip context-grounding help
uip context-grounding

setup and any forwarded command honor the global options (--output, --output-filter, --log-level, --log-file). Exit codes follow the standard contract.

uip context-grounding setup

Detecta Python y verifica que el paquete uipath esté instalado. Los resultados se almacenan en caché en un archivo por usuario para que los comandos context-grounding posteriores puedan resolver el binario de Python al instante.

Argumentos

Nada.

Opciones

• --force — Vuelve a ejecutar la detección incluso si hay un resultado almacenado en caché.

Ejemplos

uip context-grounding setup
uip context-grounding setup --force

Forma de datos (--output json)

  "Code": "ContextGroundingSetup",
  "Data": {
    "PythonPath": "/usr/bin/python3.11",

Comprobaciones del entorno

• Las versiones de Python permitidas se configuran a través de la variable de entorno PYTHON_TOOL_PYTHON_VERSIONS Una lista vacía genera Failure en el momento de la configuración.
• Si existe un directorio .venv en el directorio de trabajo actual, pero no hay ningún entorno virtual activado, la configuración se niega a ejecutarse y sugiere activarlo primero (.venv\Scripts\activate en Windows, source .venv/bin/activate en otros lugares).

Comandos reenviados

Any subcommand that isn't setup or help is forwarded to the Python uipath CLI as uipath context-grounding <args> — there is no fixed whitelist to check against; a brand-new verb the Python package adds tomorrow works here today, with one exception:

Nota:

auth is blocked. Calling uip context-grounding auth ... fails immediately with Result: ValidationError (exit code 3) and the message "Use 'uip login' for authentication." — unless you pass --force, which bypasses this one filter and lets the auth call through to Python. This is the opposite of --force's effect on uip codedagent, where --force is always silently stripped and never reaches Python — here it's a real, if narrow, escape hatch.

Ejemplos

# Hand off to the Python CLI's index command
uip context-grounding index ./my-index

# Search a context grounding index
uip context-grounding search "invoice total" --index my-index

# Blocked without --force
uip context-grounding auth login
# Result: ValidationError — "Use 'uip login' for authentication."

# Bypasses the auth filter
uip context-grounding auth login --force

Nota:

Because forwarded commands are defined by the uipath Python package, their flags and output shape are whatever that package emits — not the CLI's standard Code/Data envelope. Treat the CLI here as a transport. For the argument surface, run uip context-grounding <command> --help.

Output-format relay: when the global --output is json, the CLI appends --format json to the forwarded command automatically (skipped for --help calls, or when the forwarded args already contain --format) — the Python CLI must support --format json for this to have any effect; no other output format is relayed this way.

Bare invocation and help both forward — unlike uip codedagent (where bare help shows Commander's own help), uip context-grounding with no arguments forwards to exec --help, and uip context-grounding help explicitly forwards to the same exec --help call. Both surface the Python package's own help text, not this tool's.

Auth relay: before forwarding, the CLI reads the session created by uip login and injects it into the Python subprocess's environment, the same mechanism uip codedagent uses. If you are not logged in, forwarding still works; the Python CLI runs without those variables.

Códigos de salida

Standard exit codes apply, plus 3 specifically for the blocked auth command described above. The forwarded subprocess's exit code is otherwise relayed directly to the parent shell.
