Makes a new drive in a space and answers 201 with it.

A drive is a PREFIX and not a bucket, so making one writes a zero-byte marker
at "\<name>/" — which is what makes an empty drive visible to a listing that has
no other key to find. A name already taken in the space is 409.

Billed per call: the balance is checked BEFORE anything is touched, so an
unfunded org is refused with nothing created, and the debit lands only once the
drive exists.

## Request

3 fields, body `application/json` (required).

| Field   | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                          |
| ------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `space` | path | string | yes      | Space is the space to create the drive in, from the path.            |
| `name`  | body | string | —        | Name is the drive's name, matching the same shape a space name does. |
| `space` | body | string | —        | Space is the space to create the drive in, from the path.            |

## Response

| Status    | Body            | Meaning |
| --------- | --------------- | ------- |
| `201`     | space.driveItem | created |
| `default` | problem-details | refused |

`201` body — 1 field.

| Field  | In   | Type   | Always | Description                                                         |
| ------ | ---- | ------ | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name` | body | string | —      | Name is the drive's name — the first segment of every key it holds. |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo space drives create <space>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, SpaceApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new SpaceApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postSpaceBySpaceDrives({ space: 'space', name: "<name>", space: "<space>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import SpaceApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = SpaceApi(client).post_space_by_space_drives(space='space', name="<name>", space="<space>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.SpaceAPI.PostSpaceBySpaceDrives(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, space_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = space_api::post_space_by_space_drives(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.SpaceApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new SpaceApi(client).postSpaceBySpaceDrives();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/space/<space>/drives \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "name": "<name>",
       "space": "<space>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **space** through the `space` tool, which names its 7 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_space_drives"
         }
       }
     }'
```
