There is some discussion of this here - https://biostar.usegalaxy.org/p/11972/#12000. The community clearly wants this functionality but there was unfortunate resistance to adding history context information to the tool evaluation framework in the past. -John On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 2:28 PM, Ben Bimber <bbimber@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

I am trying to pass the UUID or name of the current history to a script as part of a tool XML wrapper. I was hoping some substitution like ${output.hid}, ${history_id} or similar would give this, but have not had luck. Is there an approach to do this?

On a related note: does anyone have debugging tips or pointers to code that would help me figure out which substitutions galaxy will support? The tool wrapper docs list some; however, this isnt complete.

Thanks in advance, Ben
