+# Download a native file
+
+DevSpace can save a file attached or generated by an MCP host, such as ChatGPT,
+directly into an open workspace. Enable the tool with `DEVSPACE_ARTIFACTS=1`.
+
+## Workflow
+
+```text
+open_workspace
+  -> download_artifact({ file, workspaceId, path })
+  -> { path }
+```
+
+1. Open the project with `open_workspace`.
+2. Pass the host-provided native `file`, the returned `workspaceId`, and an
+   unused workspace-relative `path` to `download_artifact`.
+3. Use the returned path with the ordinary DevSpace filesystem tools.
+
+```text
+download_artifact({
+  file: <native file value supplied by the MCP host>,
+  workspaceId: "ws_123",
+  path: "public/images/generated-image.png"
+})
+```
+
+DevSpace creates missing parent directories and refuses to overwrite an existing
+file. After the download, normal tools can inspect, move, rename, replace, or
+delete it.
+
+## Safety and limits
+
+The `file` input must be the native value supplied by the MCP host. DevSpace does
+not accept pasted download URLs or local source paths. It validates the complete
+file-object shape, trusted OpenAI download hosts, and redirects before streaming.
+Malformed references, unknown fields, absolute paths, traversal, and symlinked
+parents are rejected.
+
+Downloads are streamed under `DEVSPACE_ARTIFACT_MAX_FILE_BYTES` and published as
+owner-only files without overwriting an existing destination. The tool is
+available on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD; it is not registered on
+Windows.

+## Native Artifact Download
+
+Native-file download is disabled by default. Enable it when ChatGPT needs to hand
+an attached or generated file into an already-open workspace:
+
+```bash
+DEVSPACE_ARTIFACTS=1 npx @waishnav/devspace serve
+```

+This feature currently supports Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD. It

+The same settings may be persisted in `~/.devspace/config.json` as
+`artifactsEnabled` and `artifactMaxFileBytes`.
+
+`download_artifact` accepts the native file object supplied by the MCP connector,
+a `workspaceId` returned by `open_workspace`, and a relative workspace `path`.
+DevSpace safely creates missing parent directories, refuses to overwrite an
+existing destination, and returns only the normalized workspace-relative path.
+It does not accept conflict modes, expected hashes, arbitrary URL strings, local
+paths, embedded credentials, or extra object fields.
+
+There is no artifact root, total quota, TTL, pinning, persistent database record,
+or background artifact cleanup service. See [Native File Download](artifact-exchange.md)
+for the supported connector shape and security boundaries.

+## Native File Download
+
+Native file download is an opt-in, one-shot transfer into an already-open
+workspace. `download_artifact` accepts the MCP host's native file value, the
+`workspaceId` returned by `open_workspace`, and an unused relative destination
+path. It returns only the workspace-relative path and does not create a
+persistent artifact service or reusable artifact ID.
+
+DevSpace accepts only the documented native-file object and trusted OpenAI
+download hosts and redirects. Arbitrary URL strings, local source paths,
+credentials, malformed references, and unknown object fields are rejected.
+
+Absolute paths, traversal, symlinked parents, and existing destinations also
+fail closed. Downloads stream under the configured per-file limit and are
+published without overwrite as owner-only files. DevSpace does not extract or
+execute transferred content.
+
 ## Logs
 
 By default, DevSpace logs requests and tool calls. Shell command previews are
 disabled unless `DEVSPACE_LOG_SHELL_COMMANDS=1`.
 
 Do not enable shell command logging if commands may contain secrets.
+
+Artifact tool logs contain bounded workspace ID, validated hostname,
+workspace-relative output path, byte count, hash, duration, and status metadata.
+`download_artifact` does not log the opaque file value. Raw content, connector
+references, native file IDs, bearer credentials, presigned URLs, host paths,
+temporary paths, and base64 chunks are never included in tool logs or tool
+results.
