When to use it

The agent must produce a PDF, a DOCX or a deck and has nothing to convert with.
You want LaTeX-quality typesetting, not a browser's print-to-PDF.
Many conversions in one session, without a cold start each time.

Tips

Files in and out: briq_files_put to /work/input.md, briq_exec with pandoc /work/input.md -o /work/output.pdf, then briq_files_get /work/output.pdf.
Unicode or custom fonts: add --pdf-engine=xelatex.
No ports: everything goes through briq_exec and the file tools.
Large inputs: /work is a volume that starts small; pass diskGb for more. Set it when the briq is created, and it counts toward your plan's disk.
