| **Method**    | `POST`                                     |

Runs one decision — the caller's own POST /v1/decisions, gated and billed
exactly as that route is — and answers the decision, which model served it and
who paid. A refusal names its code and what lifts it, never an amount.

## Request

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

| Field         | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `handle`      | body | string | —        | Handle decides over a state this org observed earlier, in place of State and Questions.                                                                                        |
| `model`       | body | string | —        | Model is kai, Kai's versioned id kai-<12 hex>, or Jev by its vendor id (typesafe/jev-1.13, \~typesafe/jev-latest).                                                             |
| `observe`     | body | string | —        | Observe holds the state under this id (1 to 128 of A-Z a-z 0-9 . \_ -), so a later decision can name it as its Handle.                                                         |
| `questions`   | body | object | —        | Questions are 1 to 100 named questions, each {"type": "choice"\|"noul"\|"score", "instructions"?, "criteria"?}; a choice names at least 2 labels and a score at least 1 level. |
| `questions.*` | body | any    | —        |                                                                                                                                                                                |
| `state`       | body | any    | —        | State is what the questions are about: a string, an object or an array, kept as written.                                                                                       |

`200` body — 9 fields.

| ------------------ | ---- | --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `decision`         | body | any       | —      | Decision is POST /v1/decisions' own answer: id, model, provider, answers, usage (the billed input tokens), routing, state\_hash and latency\_ms. |
| `receipt`          | body | aiReceipt | —      |                                                                                                                                                  |
| `receipt.class`    | body | string    | —      | Class is the model's class as billed: premium, ours or free (X-Hanzo-Usage-Class).                                                               |

| `receipt.paid_by`  | body | string    | —      | PaidBy is plan, credits or free (X-Hanzo-Paid-By); absent when the answer named no payer, as a free model's does.                                |
| `receipt.reason`   | body | string    | —      | Reason is the refusal code that sent the request to the fallback (X-Hanzo-Usage-Reason).                                                         |
| `receipt.routed`   | body | string    | —      | Routed is the model `auto` resolved to (X-Routed-Model).                                                                                         |
| `receipt.served`   | body | string    | —      | Served is the model that answered (X-Hanzo-Served).                                                                                              |
| `receipt.usage`    | body | string    | —      | Usage is where that class stands for the payer: ok, near or limited (X-Hanzo-Usage).                                                             |

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

## Examples

**CLI**

`hanzo` has no subcommand for this operation — the CLI serves only what cloud's live route table confirms. Use HTTP or an SDK.

**SDK**

**.ts**

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

const api = new AiApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.aiDecide({ handle: "<handle>", model: "<model>" });
```

**.py**

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

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = AiApi(client).ai_decide(handle="<handle>", model="<model>")
```

**.go**

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

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

**.rs**

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

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

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

**.java**

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

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

var result = new AiApi(client).aiDecide();
```

**HTTP**

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

**MCP**

MCP declares no tool for **ai** — `tools/list` on `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp` names the products it does reach. Use HTTP or an SDK.
