# list_files: List recent files

Files on FynePDF from the last 24 hours, newest first: what the person dropped in the upload box, other uploads and imports, and results. Use it to find the file_id of a file the person says they uploaded, by its name.

A tool of the [FynePDF MCP server](https://fynepdf.com/developers/docs/mcp) (`https://api.fynepdf.com/mcp`). Reads only: it doesn't change or make files.

## Ask for it

- "Compress the report.pdf I uploaded earlier."
- "Which files did I upload today?"

## Inputs

| Input | Type | Required | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string |  | Part of a file name. |
| `limit` | integer |  | Default 10. |

## The same over HTTP
