This tool creates a vector polygon footprint of the area covered by a vector layer. It will create a vector rectangle corresponding to the bounding box. The user must specify the name of the input file (`input`).

If input data are irregular shape the resulting vector will still correspond to the full grid extent, ignoring the irregular boundary. If this is not the desired effect, you should use the minimum_bounding_envelope tool instead.
