Get Work ID

In the previous step, we used the ctx-scan tool for convenience to upload the test file multiple times. This time we will submit it in a way, that will allow us to explore additional details:

ctx work submit Contextal-Test-File.pdf

On the output you will get the work's id such as U0gTdxvGcG4D73MTHCtYpswr.

Get Graph

Now run this command, using the id you obtained:

ctx work graph U0gTdxvGcG4D73MTHCtYpswr --pretty

You should receive the following output:

Get Actions

To obtain the list of actions, which were triggered while processing the test file, run the following command once again providing the previous id:

ctx work actions U0gTdxvGcG4D73MTHCtYpswr --pretty

The expected output is:

[
{
"actions": [
{
"action": "BLOCK",
"ctime": 1730922819.623288,
"scenario": "Test-Scenario-PDF-Unsafe-Attachment"
},
{
"action": "ALERT",
"ctime": 1730922922.446695,
"scenario": "Test-Scenario-PDF-Campaign"
}
],
"t": 1730925752.016907,
"work_id": "U0gTdxvGcG4D73MTHCtYpswr"
}
