Draft a provider of marketing content and file it in the CMS as a draft.

Answers 201 with the created draft's identity — {doctype, name, status} — and the document itself lands in the CMS through the SAME validate and lifecycle-hook pipeline an ordinary create runs. This is a WRITE, not a preview: there is no dry-run, and every call that succeeds leaves a document behind.

doctype picks which of two generation planes runs, and they are the only two. Campaign and SocialPost are drafted as brand COPY on the platform AI plane (zen5 by default, overridable per request with model or per deployment); Asset is a studio image render the AI plane never sees. Everything else about the call is identical.

MONEY, metered in exactly one place per mode and never both. Copy rides the platform's own inference meter — the org's balance is authorised before the model call and debited at the exact token cost after — so content never re-bills it. A studio render is invisible to that meter, so content is the sole meter for it: the org is gated BEFORE the GPU compute and refused 402 when out of funds or over its spend cap, and the debit is recorded only once the render actually returns, because the billable event is the consumed compute and not the CMS row. project rides the BODY rather than a server-minted identity claim, so it attributes spend but a project-scoped cap stays soft on it — the org is the value that is enforced.

The org is the caller's own, resolved once from the validated principal and never read from the body; a caller without one is refused 401. Status is not the generator's to choose: a generated item is ALWAYS a draft, and the storage-boundary hook enforces that a second time.

It fails closed rather than inventing anything. An unknown content type is 404 and a deployment whose marketing module is not installed is 409 naming the install call. An AI plane or studio that is unconfigured or unreachable, a graph the studio rejects, and a render that does not return in time all degrade to 503 — never fabricated copy, never a fake render. A source_media that fails the SSRF and traversal validator is 400 raised before the billing gate and before the studio is contacted, so a hostile source never costs the caller anything.

Examples

hanzo content generate
import { Configuration, ContentApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new ContentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postContentGenerate({ brief: "<brief>", channels: "<channels>" });
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import ContentApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = ContentApi(client).post_content_generate(brief="<brief>", channels="<channels>")
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.ContentAPI.PostContentGenerate(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, content_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();

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

var result = new ContentApi(client).postContentGenerate();
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/content/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \

MCP reaches content through the content tool, which names its 6 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

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": "get_content_board"
         }
       }
     }'
