Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability vaaya-file-upload-from-url-e30eda3f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Grab the PDF at https://example.com/reports/q4.pdf and upload it into Vaaya so my agent can reference it in the next step of the workflow.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a file hosted at a remote URL that needs to be ingested into Vaaya's ecosystem for use by downstream agent steps — particularly when building agent pipelines that need to reference, attach, or process external files without manually downloading and re-uploading them. Prefer this over generic cloud storage uploads when you're already working within the Vaaya agent platform and need the file immediately accessible to other Vaaya capabilities.

## Known failure modes

- Source URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status — upload fails with a fetch error
- URL points to an unsupported file type or oversized file — rejected with a validation error
- Invalid or malformed URL provided — returns a bad request error
- Network timeout fetching the remote file — returns a timeout error
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns a 402 Payment Required error

## How this service works

Fetch a file from a public URL into your persistent Vaaya file library (server-side — no local download needed). Returns file_id and get_url. Max 100MB per file.

## Output

Returns a reference to the uploaded file within Vaaya's storage system, including a file ID or accessible URL that downstream agent steps can use to retrieve or process the file.
