ZIP creator for AI agents

Packs files and folders into ZIP archives, with optional passwords.

utilities.zip_compressor

What it does

Packs files and folders into ZIP archives, with optional passwords. It is one of the Archives and files 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 zip creator to bundle a job’s deliverables into one download. 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.
