How this service works
CSV Select Columns: CSV Select Columns projects selected CSV columns in caller order from bounded caller-supplied values without an external provider. Call CSV Select Columns before an agent hands structured data or a batch plan to a downstream tool with a stricter contract. Returns the bounded transformation or validation finding with counts, normalized values, and a versioned result contract for CSV Select Columns as versioned deterministic JSON. Price: $0.001 USDC via x402 on Base. First-par…
Output
Returns deterministic JSON containing the projected CSV data with only the requested columns in caller-specified order, along with row and column counts, normalized column values, and a versioned result contract. No data is retained after processing.
Example use cases
Trim CSV before API submission
“I have a big CSV with 20 columns but the downstream API only accepts 'product_id', 'price', and 'quantity'. Can you strip out everything else and return just those three columns in that order?”
Reorder CSV columns for reporting
“My CSV has columns in a messy order — I need 'last_name', 'first_name', 'department', 'hire_date' to appear in exactly that sequence for the report template. Can you rearrange the CSV accordingly?”
Extract contact fields from export
“I exported a user list with lots of extra fields. Please pull out only 'email', 'full_name', and 'phone' from this CSV and give me those columns in that order so I can hand it to the email tool.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.delx.ai/api/v1/x402/csv-select-columnsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to narrow or reorder CSV columns before passing structured data to a downstream tool with a strict schema contract — especially when no external library or code execution environment is available. Prefer it over general-purpose code execution when you need a lightweight, stateless, pay-per-call column projection with a guaranteed versioned output contract and no data retention.
Side effects
- Column name not found in CSV header — returns validation error listing missing column names
- Malformed or non-CSV text input — returns parsing error with description
- Input text exceeds 8192 character limit — returns size exceeded error
- More than 256 columns requested — returns items limit exceeded error
- Empty CSV or header-only CSV — returns result with zero rows and count of zero
