Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/knowledge/files/{id}`
Method	`GET`
Operation	`get_knowledge_files_by_id`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Answers one of the caller's org files: what it is, where its bytes are, and how far its ingest has got. 404 for an id the org holds no file for.

Request

1 field.

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`id`	path	string	yes	ID is the file's id, as POST /v1/knowledge/files answered it.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	knowledge.File	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 21 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`bucket`	body	string	—	Bucket is the org bucket the object is in, by the friendly name /v1/s3/buckets lists.
`chars`	body	integer (int64)	—	Chars is the length of the text read out of the file, in bytes.
`clipped`	body	boolean	—	Clipped is true when only the file's beginning is indexed: its text ran past the org's bound or the room the index has.
`created`	body	integer (int64)	—	Created is when the file was first registered, in unix seconds.
`done`	body	integer (int64)	—	Done is how far the running stage has come, of Total: bytes of the file read (extract), sections summarized (toc), cut into passages (passages) and linked (graph), passages embedded (embed).
`embedded`	body	integer (int64)	—	Embedded is how many of those passages carry a vector — Passages once the embed stage is done, unless Note says the file is embedded in part.
`error`	body	string	—	Error is why a stored or failed file was not indexed — or, on a ready file, why it is searched by its words alone — in words a person can act on.
`id`	body	string	—	ID names the file in its org.
`key`	body	string	—	Key is the object's key in that bucket.
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the object's file name, the last segment of its key.
`note`	body	string	—	Note says in words where the file is indexed less than whole and why: its text past the org's bound or the room the index has, its passages past the bound on vectors.
`parent`	body	string	—	Parent is the id of the archive this file was unpacked from.
`passages`	body	integer (int64)	—	Passages is how many passages its text was cut into.
`project`	body	string	—	Project is the project scope it is indexed under.
`sections`	body	integer (int64)	—	Sections is how many nodes its table of contents has, the document's own root included.
`size`	body	integer (int64)	—	Size is the object's length in bytes, as the store reports it.
`stage`	body	string	—	Stage is the ingest stage the file is in: extract, toc, passages or graph while indexing, embed while a ready file's vectors are written.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is queued, indexing, ready, stored (kept but not indexed — Error says why) or failed.
`total`	body	integer (int64)	—	Total is what the running stage has to do in all, in Done's units.
`type`	body	string	—	Type is the object's media type as the store holds it, or the one its name implies when the store holds only the generic default.
`updated`	body	integer (int64)	—	Updated is when its record last changed, in unix seconds.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches knowledge through the knowledge tool, which names its 9 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": "list_knowledge_connectors"
         }
       }
     }'
