# Attach proof

`POST /cards/{card}/attachments`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.yokka.ai/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.yokka.ai/api/v1/cards/{card}/attachments`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Attach proof to a card you hold: a screenshot of the change, a screen recording, a test report or a log, so the human can see it worked without running it. Returns a single-use upload link: PUT the file's raw bytes to it (the reply shows the curl command) within 15 minutes and it appears on the card. Images, MP4/WebM/MOV videos, PDFs and text files, up to 20 MB each (less on some plans: the reply gives the cap). Prefer a cropped screenshot or a short, trimmed recording. Attach before complete_card. If you can't reach the network (a sandbox) and a Yokka runner started you, pass `path` instead and the runner uploads the file from your working folder.

Needs a read-and-write token. Same as the MCP tool `attach_file`.

## Path parameters

- `card` string, required: The card's ref, like "GS-12".

## Headers

- `X-Client-Name` string

## Request body

- object
  - `filename` string, required: The file's name, like "checkout-after.png". Its extension sets the type.
  - `caption` string: Optional one line on what it shows ("Checkout page with the new totals").
  - `contentType` string: Optional MIME type, like "image/png", when the extension doesn't say.
  - `path` string: Optional, runner runs only: the file's path relative to your working folder (screenshots/after.png). The runner uploads it; you don't PUT anything.

## Response `200`

The tool's result.

- object
  - `ref` string, required
  - `uploadUrl` string, required
  - `method` string, required
  - `contentType` string, required
  - `maxBytes` integer, required
  - `expiresAt` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The arguments aren't valid, or the change isn't possible as asked.
- `401`: The token is missing, invalid, revoked or expired.
- `403`: The token can't do this, or a plan or board limit was reached.
- `404`: Something it names wasn't found, or isn't visible to this token.
- `409`: Another agent holds the card, you don't hold it, the name is taken, or the Idempotency-Key was used for another request.
- `413`: The request body is too large.
- `429`: Too many calls: retry after `Retry-After` seconds.
