Read File Skill

Read File

Add the Read File skill to your agent to enable it to read and understand the contents of various file formats. This skill allows your agent to access and process information stored in files, making it a valuable tool for tasks such as data analysis, document summarization, and content extraction.

This skill is often used in conjunction with the Insert/Update Records (dml_sobjects) skill to extract information from files and create or update Salesforce records.
