post_v1_books_ask
AskBooks answers a plain-language question about the caller's own books — "what is my MRR?", "how long is my runway?" — with figures taken from their ledger, never a guessed number.
AskBooks answers a plain-language question about the caller's own books — "what is my MRR?", "how long is my runway?" — with figures taken from their ledger, never a guessed number. A deterministic keyword router picks the intent and reads the real metrics, and those figures, followups and report sources are computed BEFORE any model call and are never altered by one: the optional narration seam only rephrases the sentence, and it degrades silently to the templated answer when no AI plane is wired. It is strictly read-only — it restates the books, it never posts to them.

| Operation | POST /v1/books/ask |
| Product | books |
Arguments
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
from | string | — | — | — | From is the RFC3339 start of the metric window. Empty means all time, treated as a single reporting period (see monthsBetween). |
question | string | — | — | — | Question is the plain-language question about the org's books, e.g. "what is my MRR?". Longer than 2000 characters is truncated, never refused. |
to | string | — | — | — | To is the RFC3339 end of the metric window. Empty means up to now. |
tools/list declares a type and a description for each field and nothing further. A — means neither the door nor that operation constrains the field.
Call it
A tools/call carries every argument in one flat object — nothing binds to a path or a query string. Nothing above is required, so every declared argument is shown rather than a guess at which matter.
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

}'Values are the operation's own defaults and enumerated values where it declares them, and a <placeholder> where neither source declares one. tools/list needs no credential; tools/call does — called without one the door answers HTTP 200 with a JSON-RPC result whose isError is set and whose text says what was missing.
