## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to initialize a new Arcgate agent box for a given agent address before performing any other agent operations (watching, webhooks, Telegram channels, inbound addresses). This is the setup/provisioning step for the Arcgate agent ecosystem.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed agent address returns a 400 error
- Agent address already has an existing box returns a conflict error
- Insufficient USDC payment (below $0.05) results in payment failure
- Unauthorized request due to missing or invalid x402 payment header
- Network timeout or server error returns a 500 response

## Output

Returns metadata about the newly created agent box, including the box ID and relevant configuration details that can be used for subsequent operations like top-ups or channel creation.
