Get a one-time URL to upload a PDF to, for a file in the client's own environment (a sandbox, a download, an export) with neither a path the MCP server can read nor a public https URL. Returns a one-time PUT URL on mcp.lnkdrp.com. The PUT is made from the agent's own environment. mcp.lnkdrp.com is not on the package-manager allowlist that claude.ai's code sandbox uses by default, and ChatGPT's code tool has been observed without outbound network. A file in the person's Google Drive (driveFileId) or at a public link (sourceUrl) needs no upload. The file's bytes are PUT to uploadUrl (curlExample is the exact command); the returned uploadId is then accepted as uploadId by lnkdrp_share_pdf (a new document), lnkdrp_replace_pdf (a new version of an existing one) and lnkdrp_stage_pdf (a draft of a new version, for review). The URL works for one upload of one PDF up to 50MB, expires 15 minutes after it is issued, keeps the uploaded file 5 minutes for the share, and the uploadId only works from this connection, which needs write access. It carries files larger than fileBase64 can, with no base64 in the tool call. Returns { uploadId, uploadUrl, method, expiresAt, maxBytes, curlExample, nextStep }. uploadUrl is a secret until it is used: anyone holding it can upload to it. If the PUT does not reach lnkdrp because the client sandbox's network policy refuses the host (a proxy 403 naming an egress or allowlist rule, not an lnkdrp error), LinkDrop has received nothing and nothing is created; a retry from the same sandbox is refused the same way, and the uploadId expires unused. A file in Google Drive (driveFileId), at a public link (sourceUrl) or at a path a local MCP server can read (filePath) does not go through the sandbox's network, and neither does an upload link (lnkdrp_create_upload_link), a page where the person adds the file from their own browser, made with docId for a new version or with the share settings for a new document. ChatGPT's code sandbox cannot reach LinkDrop, so on ChatGPT this tool makes no URL and names the routes that work.
