+
49
+ ## What the Skill actually changes
50
+
51
+ Without it, an agent connected over MCP still works — it just takes detours. With it, the agent
52
+ follows a documented workflow:
53
+
54
+ 1. **Read the selected model's live schema once**, then pass its model-specific `input` through
55
+ unchanged. Never invent a model ID, price, capability or input field.
56
+ 2. **Treat creation and retry as billable.** CLI and MCP creation obtain and confirm the exact quote
57
+ internally; in SDK code, quote the request once, show its USD estimate and maximum charge,
58
+ confirm, then pass that quote into creation.
59
+ 3. **Keep one idempotency key for the whole logical attempt**, including recovery from an uncertain
60
+ response.
61
+ 4. **Use ready `output.assets[].url` directly.** A complete verified v2 webhook needs no extra task
62
+ lookup and no download ticket.
63
+ 5. **Keep keys in environment variables** — never in arguments, source, prompts, logs, support
64
+ messages or committed configuration.
65
+ 6. **Preserve `request_id`, task IDs, upload keys and idempotency keys** in results, because
66
+ reconciliation and support need them.
67
+
68
+ It also states what _not_ to do: health and balance checks are optional diagnostics rather than a
69
+ per-task checklist, there is no task listing shortcut for status polling, and task cancellation,
70
+ deletion and webhook redelivery simply do not exist in the public developer contract.
71
+
72
+ ## Boundaries
73
+
74
+ Account identity, payments, privacy, account closure and admin operations stay in the SpicyAPI
75
+ Console; this is a server-side skill and does not emulate Console routes. When you ask for a real
76
+ test, the Skill requires a real request against the selected environment — a passing mock is never
77
+ reported as verified — and it reports retained artifacts honestly instead of claiming a deletion the
78
+ API does not offer.
79
+
80
+ ## More
23
81
 
24
- The default workflow reads the selected model's schema once, lets CLI/MCP creation obtain and
25
- confirm its quote, then uses waiting or a verified webhook and reads ready result URLs directly.
26
- Health/balance checks, separate price comparisons, and download-link renewal remain available when
27
- needed. Task creation and retry retain their billable confirmation and idempotency requirements.
82
+ - [Client setup on the developer hub](https://spicyapi.ai/developers#agents)
83
+ - [Agent integration guide](https://spicyapi.ai/docs/agents)
84
+ - The Skill assumes one of [`@spicyapi/mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spicyapi/mcp),
85
+ [`@spicyapi/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spicyapi/cli) or
86
+ [`@spicyapi/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@spicyapi/sdk) is available to the agent.

137
+ | SDK | `client.createTask(payload, { idempotencyKey, retentionSeconds: 3600 })` |
138
+
139
+ `0` means the outputs are removed as soon as the task reaches a terminal state. An oversized or
140
+ otherwise out-of-range value is clamped by the server rather than rejected — a request asking to be
141
+ more conservative must never fail the generation — so read the accepted deadlines back from the task
142
+ record's `retention` object rather than assuming the requested value took effect. Its `source` says
143
+ which layer decided: `header`, `account`, or `platform`.
144
+
145
+ Set a short retention only when the user asked for it. Losing a result they still wanted is a real
146
+ cost, and there is no way to recover one after the deadline passes.
147
+
148
+ Destroy one task's content on demand:

+
150
+ ```bash
151
+ spicyapi tasks purge tsk_example --yes

+ ```
153
+
154
+ The CLI requires an interactive confirmation or an explicit `--yes`, and the MCP tool requires a
155
+ confirmation round, because destruction cannot be undone. It removes the generated media, result
156
+ payload, prompt, and input text of one terminal task — never part of a task, and never a running one
157
+ (cancel that first).
158
+
159
+ **Destruction removes content, not the record of what it cost.** The ledger entry, charged amount,
160
+ model identifier, state, timestamps, and `request_id` all remain queryable afterwards. Purging is
161
+ not a refund, does not reverse a charge, and does not hide usage from `usage`. Say this plainly when
162
+ a user asks to "delete" a task: what disappears is the media and the prompt.
163
+
164
+ Repeating a purge on an already destroyed task succeeds and changes nothing, so a lost response is
165
+ safe to retry.
166
+
167
+ Afterwards the task record reports `contentState`, and the two non-`present` values must not be
168
+ reported as the same thing:
169
+
170
+ | `contentState` | What to tell the user |
171
+ | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
172
+ | `present` | Content is still stored; retention deadlines are in `retention`. |
173
+ | `expired` | Outputs were removed under the retention settings on the reported date. |
174
+ | `purged` | The account destroyed the outputs on the reported date — a deliberate act. |
175
+
176
+ Calling an account's own deletion an expiry makes it look like SpicyAPI lost their work, which is
177
+ why the field distinguishes them. `retention.contentRemovedBy` carries the same distinction as
178
+ `user` or `system`.
179
+
180
+ ## Local files
181
+
182
+ A model input that takes an image, video or audio clip accepts three things: a public HTTPS URL, a
183
+ `spicy://` URI from a previous upload, or nothing until you upload. When the user points at a file
184
+ on their own machine, upload it and pass the returned URI — never paste base64 into task input.

190
+ | SDK | `await client.uploadFile("/path/to/input.png")` |
191
+
192
+ All three return the same committed record; the field to carry forward is `uri` (`spicy://...`).
193
+ Limits are 10 MiB for images and 90 MiB for MP4/WebM video and MP3/WAV audio. Content type is
194
+ inferred from the extension — override it only when the extension is missing or wrong.
