Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/books/accounts`
Method	`GET`
Operation	`get_books_accounts`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Returns the org's chart of accounts — the seeded fixed chart every posting key in the ledger refers to.

Request

1 field.

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`sandbox`	query	string	—	Sandbox reads the org's SANDBOX ledger when it is exactly "true"; anything else reads the live one.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	books.Account[]	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 4 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`[].name`	body	string	—	Name is the account's human name, for a statement's line label.
`[].number`	body	string	—	Number is the posting key every voucher leg, rule and report references — stable, and the reason the chart is a fixed value rather than a table anybody can edit.
`[].party`	body	string	—	Party marks the account as carrying a SUBLEDGER — receivable is money owed to us, payable money we owe — so a leg posted here also writes a payment-ledger row against a counterparty.
`[].type`	body	string	—	Type is the account's fundamental class, which is also its NORMAL balance side: asset and expense are debit-normal, liability, income and equity credit-normal.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches books through the books tool, which names its 20 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:
