remote-retrieval-automation

Empowers your agent to automate Remote Retrieval tasks. It improves access and management of remote information.

What it does

This tool helps automate remote data retrieval tasks. It connects to systems to fetch the information you need, ensuring the data is always up-to-date.

When to use it

  • ✓When you need to retrieve information from a remote system.
  • ✓When automating data collection from various sources.
  • ✓To ensure you are using the latest versions of search tools.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Search for information on the latest sales reports in system X.”

Remote Retrieval Automation via Rube MCP

Automate Remote Retrieval operations through Composio's Remote Retrieval toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/remote_retrieval

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active Remote Retrieval connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit remote_retrieval
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit remote_retrieval
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete setup
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Tool Discovery

Always discover available tools before executing workflows:

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "Remote Retrieval operations", known_fields: ""}]
session: {generate_id: true}

This returns available tool slugs, input schemas, recommended execution plans, and known pitfalls.

Core Workflow Pattern

Step 1: Discover Available Tools

RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
queries: [{use_case: "your specific Remote Retrieval task"}]
session: {id: "existing_session_id"}

Step 2: Check Connection

RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS
toolkits: ["remote_retrieval"]
session_id: "your_session_id"

Step 3: Execute Tools

RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL
tools: [{
  tool_slug: "TOOL_SLUG_FROM_SEARCH",
  arguments: {/* schema-compliant args from search results */}
}]
memory: {}
session_id: "your_session_id"

Known Pitfalls

  • Always search first: Tool schemas change. Never hardcode tool slugs or arguments without calling RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS
  • Check connection: Verify RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS shows ACTIVE status before executing tools
  • Schema compliance: Use exact field names and types from the search results
  • Memory parameter: Always include memory in RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL calls, even if empty ({})
  • Session reuse: Reuse session IDs within a workflow. Generate new ones for new workflows
  • Pagination: Check responses for pagination tokens and continue fetching until complete

Quick Reference

Operation Approach
Find tools RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS with Remote Retrieval-specific use case
Connect RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit remote_retrieval
Execute RUBE_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL with discovered tool slugs
Bulk ops RUBE_REMOTE_WORKBENCH with run_composio_tool()
Full schema RUBE_GET_TOOL_SCHEMAS for tools with schemaRef

FAQ

Do I need any passwords or keys to use it?

No API keys are needed. You just need to configure the Rube MCP address in your client.

What is Rube MCP?

It's a system that allows the AI to connect to and use remote retrieval tools securely and in a standardized way.

How do I know if the connection is working?

You can check the connection status. If it's not active, a link will be provided to complete the setup.
