# zernio_upload_media_from_file

Upload a local image or video file to Zernio by reading it from disk. Use this when you have a local file path instead of a public URL. The MCP server reads the file, gets a presigned upload URL from Zernio, uploads the file, and returns the publicUrl to use in posts. Supports jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, mp4, mov, avi, webm, pdf.

## Why zernio_upload_media_from_file is rated Medium

This tool creates new media resources in Zernio that can be used in posts. While reversible (media can be deleted later), the action irreversibly commits a file to the platform's storage. The blast radius is medium—malicious uploads could inject inappropriate content, spam, or malware-laden files that would then be distributed through social media posts.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool description states it 'Upload a local image or video file to Zernio' and 'uploads the file, and returns the publicUrl to use in posts.' This is a file creation/modification operation that stores media assets in a remote system."

## Use case

AI agents use zernio_upload_media_from_file to create or update resources in Zernio, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Zernio environment.
