Problem
When listing messages that contain attachments, the CLI only shows the filename and size:
1. User A [] • 2/14/2026, 10:01:37 AM
[no text]
img some-image.jpeg (181.7KB)
The download command exists and accepts an MXC URL, but there's no way to get the MXC URL from the messages output. This makes it impossible to programmatically download attachments from messages.
Suggestion
Either:
- Add
--json output to messages that includes the full MXC URL for each attachment, or
- Show the MXC URL in the text output next to the filename (e.g.
img some-image.jpeg (181.7KB) mxc://...)
Option 1 would be most useful for scripting and AI agent workflows.
Use case
Programmatically downloading image attachments from chat messages (e.g. for processing by scripts or AI agents).
