|               |                                                        |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Address**   | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/agent/coding/{session}/steer` |
| **Method**    | `POST`                                                 |
| **Operation** | `post_agent_coding_by_session_steer`                   |
| **Auth**      | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`                 |

Redirect your running or paused coding session. The current run keeps its
work before starting a follow-up; its status events report the next session.
Ownership comes from the authenticated credential, never the request body.

## Request

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

| Field     | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                            |
| --------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `session` | path | string | yes      | Session identifies the running or paused coding session from the path. |
| `session` | body | string | —        | Session identifies the running or paused coding session from the path. |
| `text`    | body | string | —        | Text is the new instruction to carry into the follow-up run.           |

## Response

| Status    | Body            | Meaning  |
| --------- | --------------- | -------- |
| `202`     | agent.CodingAck | accepted |
| `default` | problem-details | refused  |

`202` body — 1 field.

| Field | In   | Type    | Always | Description                                                                                        |
| ----- | ---- | ------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `ok`  | body | boolean | —      | OK means the operation was accepted; it does not imply that an associated coding run has finished. |

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

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo agent coding steer <session>
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

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

const api = new AgentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postAgentCodingBySessionSteer({ session: 'session', session: "<session>", text: "<text>" });
```

**.py**

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

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = AgentApi(client).post_agent_coding_by_session_steer(session='session', session="<session>", text="<text>")
```

**.go**

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

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

**.rs**

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

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

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

**.java**

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

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

var result = new AgentApi(client).postAgentCodingBySessionSteer();
```

**HTTP**

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

**MCP**

MCP reaches **agent** through the `agent` tool, which names its 51 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_agents"
         }
       }
     }'
```
