📎 Ephemeral File Host
Ephemeral File Hosting for AI Agents
Upload files from any agent. Auto-expires. No storage credentials to manage.
What it does
Give agents a place to park files — PDFs, CSVs, images, logs — without provisioning S3 buckets, managing IAM policies, or handling cleanup. Files auto-expire after a configurable TTL (default: 1 hour). Access via a simple URL.
Why agents need this
- •Agents are stateless — they terminate after each invocation and lose local files
- •Agents run in sandboxes with no persistent disk or object storage access
- •Agents have no credentials to authenticate with S3/GCS/Azure
- •Cleaning up temporary files is a chore that every agent workflow needs

Report generation
Agent creates a PDF or CSV report and returns a download URL to the user

Data pipeline handoff
Agent A processes data, uploads it, Agent B picks it up via URL
AgentUtils vs. alternatives
Traditional tools like AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Filestack require SDK integration, credential management, and infrastructure setup. AgentUtils replaces all of that with a single HTTP call.
| AgentUtils | Alternatives | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup time | 30 seconds | Hours to days |
| SDK required | No (REST API) | Yes |
| Credentials to manage | 1 API key | Multiple keys/tokens |
| Infrastructure | Zero-config | Provision + configure |
