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.

Synthèse

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

Détectez Python et vérifiez que le package uipath est installé. Les résultats sont mis en cache dans un fichier par utilisateur afin que les commandes context-grounding ultérieures puissent résoudre le binaire Python instantanément.

Arguments

Aucun

Options

• --force — Réexécuter la détection même si un résultat mis en cache est présent.

Exemples

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

Format des données (--output json)

{
  "Code": "ContextGroundingSetup",
  "Data": {
    "PythonPath": "/usr/bin/python3.11",
    "Package": "uipath",
    "PackageInstalled": "Yes",
    "PackageVersion": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Vérifications de l'environnement

• Les versions Python autorisées sont configurées via la variable d’environnement PYTHON_TOOL_PYTHON_VERSIONS. Une liste vide génère Failure au moment de la configuration.
• Si un répertoire .venv existe dans le répertoire de travail actuel mais qu'aucun environnement virtuel n'est activé, la configuration refuse de l'exécuter et suggère de l'activer d'abord (.venv\Scripts\activate sous Windows, source .venv/bin/activate ailleurs).

Commandes transférées

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:

Remarque :

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.

Exemples

# 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

Remarque :

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.

Codes de sortie

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.
