# Upload the reserved file

PUT https://ah-api.merge.dev/api/v1/files/{token}/upload/
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Streams the file's raw bytes into the reservation, with no multipart wrapper. One successful upload per reservation; the file_reference is ready for a tool call once this returns.
