## Response

Successful output is returned in `results[0].data`. Raw platform output is intentionally open-ended and may evolve with the upstream source.

No committed sample output is available for this capability.


## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
