Agent Pods

Deploy an Agent Pod

Deploys a hosted agent. The paid deploy rides the audited /compute/provision money path, so payment works exactly like provisioning a machine: pay from prepaid credits (use_credits: true) or complete an x402/MPP payment (a 402 challenge is returned when no payment credential is supplied). All /compute/provision fields (plan, region, prepaid_hours, network, ssh_public_key, …) are accepted alongside the pod-specific fields below; os_id is ignored (pods always run Ubuntu 24.04). Authenticate with the same compute auth as /compute/* (API key, session bearer, or wallet signature).

Headers

X-API-Key

string

Compute API key. Alternatively use a session bearer or wallet-signature headers.

Example:

"x402c_..."

Body

application/json

agent_id

string

required

Agent to deploy (see GET /pods/catalog).

Example:

"openclaw"

ai_mode

enum<string>

required

managed = we run the LLM (metered, tier-driven). byok = the agent uses your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Available options:

managed,

byok

plan

string

required

Compute plan id from GET /compute/plans. DigitalOcean plans use the do: prefix.

region

string

required

Region id from GET /compute/regions.

tier

string

Required when ai_mode is managed. A tier id from GET /pods/catalog (drives the model + machine floor).

Example:

"starter"

model

string

Optional model slug. Managed: honored only if it is in the chosen tier's list, else the tier default. BYOK: any slug.

plan_ram_mb

integer

Optional. Validated against the agent's (and tier's) RAM floor.

use_credits

boolean

Pay from prepaid USD credits instead of an x402 wallet payment.

network

enum<string>

x402 payment network. MPP clients use Authorization: Payment and omit this.

Available options:

base,

solana,

megaeth,

robinhood

prepaid_hours

integer

Prepaid runtime in hours (minimum 24).

Required range: x >= 24

llm_api_key

string

Required when ai_mode is byok. Your provider API key (stored encrypted).

llm_base_url

string

BYOK only. Your OpenAI-compatible base URL. Defaults to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1.

llm_api

string

BYOK only. Provider API type (e.g. openai-completions).

channels

object

Optional channel tokens, keyed by channel id (e.g. { "telegram": "<bot-token>" }). Must be supported by the agent.

Show child attributes

memory

object

BYOK memory options.

Show child attributes

ssh_public_key

string

Optional. Rarely needed — pods are headless.

Response

Pod deployed. Returns the provision result (including order) merged with a pod object. For managed pods, pod.managed_ai_key is shown ONCE.

order

object

The underlying compute order (from /compute/provision).
