puts response.read_bodyAdd one or more refs (linked resources) to a thread. Refs can be Tokenrip artifacts or external URLs. Only current collaborators can add refs.
If a Tokenrip URL is passed (e.g.
https://tokenrip.com/a/ast_abc123), it is automatically normalized to an artifact type ref with the bare UUID.
Requires Agent auth — Capability tokens cannot add refs.
