empty means it has not. | | `state.started` | body | integer (int64) | — | Started is when it began, in unix nanoseconds; 0 is unset. | | `state.steps` | body | runner.Step\[] | — | Steps is each step's own progress, in the order the workflow declares. | | `state.steps[].id` | body | integer (int64) | — | ID is the step's position in the job, counting from 0. | | `state.steps[].log_index` | body | integer (int64) | — | LogIndex is the first line of the task log this step wrote. | | `state.steps[].log_length` | body | integer (int64) | — | LogLength is how many lines it wrote from there. | | `state.steps[].result` | body | string | — | Result is how the step finished; empty means it has not. | | `state.steps[].started` | body | integer (int64) | — | Started is when it began, in unix nanoseconds; 0 is unset. | | `state.steps[].stopped` | body | integer (int64) | — | Stopped is when it finished, in unix nanoseconds; 0 is unset. | | `state.stopped` | body | integer (int64) | — | Stopped is when it finished, in unix nanoseconds; 0 is unset. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | --------------- | ------- | | `200` | runner.StateOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 13 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | -------------------------- | ---- | --------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `state` | body | runner.State | — | | | `state.id` | body | integer (int64) | — | ID is the task this is about. | | `state.result` | body | string | — | Result is how it finished;

const api = new GitApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY })); const { data } = await api.postRunnerState({ outputs: [{"name":"","value":""}], state: {"id":0,"result":"","started":0,"steps":[{"id":0,"log_index":0,"log_length":0,"result":""}]} }); ``` **.py** ```python from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration from hanzoai.cloud.api import GitApi client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"])) result = GitApi(client).post_runner_state(outputs=[{"name":"","value":""}], state={"id":0,"result":"","started":0,"steps":[{"id":0,"log_index":0,"log_length":0,"result":""}]}) ``` **.go** ```go cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration() cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")) client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg) resp, _, err := client.GitAPI.PostRunnerState(context.Background()).Execute() if err != nil { return err } ``` **.rs** ```rust use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, git_api}; let mut cfg = Configuration::new(); cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok(); let result = git_api::post_runner_state(&cfg, Default::default()).await?; ``` **.java** ```java import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient; import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.GitApi; ApiClient client = new ApiClient(); client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")); var result = new GitApi(client).postRunnerState(); ``` **HTTP** ```bash curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/runner/state \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "outputs": [ { "name": "", "value": "" } ], "state": { "id": 0, "result": "", "started": 0, "steps": [ { "id": 0, "log_index": 0, "log_length": 0, "result": "" } ] } }' ``` **MCP** MCP reaches **git** through the `git` tool, which names its 38 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_git_keys" } } }' ``` --- [Git API](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/git) · [All Hanzo APIs](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi) · [Interactive reference](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi/reference)
