Prompt for your agent
A natural-language instruction for your LLM agent — with this endpoint exposed as a tool — to call this resource. Not sent to the endpoint; the endpoint consumes the JSON body below.
Pasting this prompt into a raw ChatGPT or unconfigured agent will notexecute the paid endpoint flow. Run it through an agent with the AXON runtime / MCP tools exposed (see “Use with AXON” above) so the 402 challenge, quote, and governed fetch are handled for you.
“Upload a 5MB PDF file to IPFS with 7-day expiration”
