Convert API schemas to TypeScript

This PR converts src/api/schemas from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted 10 Flow schema modules to TypeScript
  • Preserved original files as .js.flow declarations for Flow consumers
  • Added type-only imports and schema property documentation
  • Narrowed the custom AI agent discriminator in its TypeScript consumer

Contract

  • Declared Flow contracts are preserved, including requiredness, readonly fields, unions, index signatures, and exports

Testing

  • Relevant API and sidebar tests pass: 51 tests across 2 suites
  • yarn lint:ts passes
  • Scoped ESLint passes
  • yarn flow check passes
  • Full yarn lint is blocked by pre-existing errors in generated storybook/*.bundle.js files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for configuring basic- and long-text AI agents, including model, prompt, token, embedding, and provider settings.
    • Added structured AI extraction options using metadata templates or custom field definitions.
    • Added support for referencing AI agents and processing file-based items.
    • Enhanced extraction responses with confidence scores, source references, bounding boxes, completion details, and agent information.
    • Added controls for Google and OpenAI generation parameters.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change adds Flow and TypeScript schemas for AI Extract requests and responses, AI agent configurations, item inputs, and Google/OpenAI endpoint parameters. It also preserves the literal AI agent ID type in sidebar metadata extraction.

Changes

AI Extract schema contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
LLM endpoint parameter contracts
src/api/schemas/AiAgentBasicTextTool.*, src/api/schemas/AiLlmEndpointParams*
Adds Google and OpenAI endpoint parameter types and uses their union in basic text agent configuration.
AI agent configuration contracts
src/api/schemas/AiAgentLongTextTool.*, src/api/schemas/AiAgentExtractStructured.*, src/api/schemas/AiAgentReference.*
Adds long-text embeddings configuration, structured agent configuration, and referenced agent IDs.
Structured extraction request contract
src/api/schemas/AiExtractStructured.*, src/api/schemas/AiItemBase.*
Adds request types for items, metadata templates, extraction fields, agent selection, and response flags.
Extraction response and sidebar typing
src/api/schemas/AiExtractResponse.*, src/elements/content-sidebar/hooks/useSidebarMetadataFetcher.ts
Adds response types for answers, confidence scores, references, and agent information. The sidebar now preserves the ai_agent_id literal type.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5323f

The migration preserves runtime behavior, but the TypeScript contract currently omits the documented basic_image option for structured agents, so valid TypeScript callers may be rejected during compilation. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner follow-up to add the missing field.

Poem

I am a rabbit with schemas to stack,
Google and OpenAI endpoints in track.
Agents gain types, long text gains ears,
Responses hold answers, references, and scores.
The sidebar keeps its literal sign,
So every AI agent stays well-defined.

🌐 Web query:

Box developer API ai_agent_extract_structured basic_image AiAgentBasicTextTool

💡 Result:

The ai_agent_extract_structured is a configuration type for the Box AI API used specifically with the POST /ai/extract_structured endpoint [1][2][3]. This endpoint allows developers to extract structured metadata (key-value pairs) from files [1][2]. When configuring the ai_agent object for this request, you can use the basic_image tool, which is defined by the AiAgentBasicTextTool schema [4][5]. Despite its name, the basic_image tool—along with basic_text and long_text—is part of the structured extraction agent configuration [4][5]. Key components of the configuration: 1. ai_agent_extract_structured: The primary agent type required for structured metadata extraction [4][5]. 2. AiAgentBasicTextTool: This schema is used for basic_text, long_text, and basic_image fields within the agent configuration [4][5]. It includes parameters such as: - model: Specifies the LLM to use (e.g., azureopenaigpt_4o_mini) [4]. - system_message: Helps define the role and behavior of the LLM [6][7]. - prompt_template: Defines the instructions for the AI, which must include placeholders for {user_question} and {content} [6][7]. - llm_endpoint_params: Allows for fine-tuning LLM behavior (e.g., temperature, top_p) [4][8]. The POST /ai/extract_structured endpoint supports file formats including PDF, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG, with automatic OCR capabilities [3]. You can retrieve default agent configurations using the GET /2.0/ai_agent_default endpoint to see how these fields are structured for your specific use case [5][3].

Add basic_image to both structured-agent declarations.

The Box API supports basic_image with AiAgentBasicTextTool for ai_agent_extract_structured. AiExtractStructured.ai_agent accepts AiAgentExtractStructured, so TypeScript callers can be blocked from passing this documented property in object literals. Add the field to both declarations.
