Summary
Use present to declare final files accessible through the Session filesystem, including files created through shell commands. Users open the current source files in their default application. The tool records paths and optional descriptions without copying file contents.

Use this package
The standard, ptc, and cordis agent presets mount this plugin. Call present with files: [{ path, description? }] after creating the files. Files must be regular files accessible through the Session filesystem. Relative paths resolve against the Session working directory; absolute paths may name files outside it, including /tmp or Downloads. Missing files, directories, final symbolic links, and provider-denied paths fail the call. Files in a shell sandbox’s private /tmp must first be written somewhere the Session filesystem can access.
Mount it in an agent's Cordis composition with tools, fs, and the turnBoundary Session projection available:
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-present'
config:
maxFiles: 8
| Field | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
maxFiles |
8 |
Positive maximum file count per call |
The file-count limit is validated at mount. The tool requires an agent Session with a workspace and an open turn. Delivery belongs to the calling Session; a parent must call present itself to declare files created by a subagent.
Understand the implementation
Implementation internals — click to expand
The tool resolves paths through the configured filesystem provider and checks regular-file metadata without reading contents. Successful final `tools/result` notifications append `deliverables/presented`, including nested calls. A later enclosing program failure does not revoke an already completed declaration. Blocked results publish none. Each plugin instance records only calls it executed; scoped tools with the same name cannot publish through another instance. The pure `./types` entry declares `PresentedFile` and the Session event without importing Host runtime code. The Web consumer validates persisted declarations before displaying or opening them. The event stores no Session ID, so forked history resolves relative paths against the viewed Session's workspace. **Runtime invariant:** No companion is published. Tool and event registrations are effect-owned, and the Session log owns file declarations; the plugin maintains no independent file-content store.Further Exploration

Model Experience
present
What the model sees
The present schema asks for existing accessible files: “Declare existing files accessible through the Session filesystem as final deliverables. When a file you create or update is an output the user asked to receive, you must call present after writing it and before your final response, including files created through Bash or code execution. Mentioning its path in your reply does not replace this call. The files must already exist. The user opens the current source files; their contents are not copied or preserved.” Results report Presented <path> for each file; the program result and durable event contain paths and optional descriptions.
Token effect
One tool schema per mounted agent and one result line per delivered file. File bytes do not enter model messages.
KV Cache effect
The tool schema is static for the mount lifetime. Delivery result text extends the conversation without rewriting its prompt prefix.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- Metadata and Host-path checks cannot atomically prevent replacement before a desktop application opens a file.
- Edits change what opens. Deleted or moved source files cannot be opened from their declarations.
- Session ZIP exports contain declarations, not file contents. Persistent delivery versions and copy-on-write storage are deferred.
