Compression for AI agents

Gzip, Zstandard and Brotli, to and from Store.

utilities.compress

What it does

Gzip, Zstandard and Brotli, to and from Store. It is one of the Core helpers tools in the Ahura Utilities catalogue: a ready-made MCP tool that an agent calls with a typed input and gets a structured result back, with no library to install and no sandbox to start.

How agents use it

Agents use compression to shrink data before storing or sending. Because it is a plain tool call, it slots into a single agent turn or a step in an Ahura Workflow, and large inputs and outputs are passed by reference using a store:// address from Ahura Store.

Interactive simulation

Run compression

Press Run to send the call. The dashboard shows what it would use in a partition. Simulated: nothing is actually executed.

Good to know

  • Billed per call, with the price shown in tools/list. See pricing
  • Runs inside your partition, so inputs and results stay isolated and follow its retention settings.
  • Safe to chain: pair it with Ahura Workflows for retries and approvals.
