| **Address**   | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/provider/{provider}/run` |
| **Method**    | `POST`                                            |
| **Operation** | `post_provider_by_provider_run`                   |
| **Auth**      | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`            |

Runs one action of a connector as the caller's org, with the credential
the org connected, and answers what the action returned. The credential is
read from the org's KMS namespace here and never leaves this service. An
action that ran and failed is ok:false with the reason; an unknown connector
is 404, an action that does not run on this deployment 422, and a connector
the org has not connected 424.

## Request

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

| Field      | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                           |
| ---------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `provider` | path | string | yes      | Provider is the connector, from the path.                             |
| `action`   | body | string | —        | Action is the action's name, as GET /v1/provider/{provider} lists it. |
| `input`    | body | object | —        | Input is the action's props, by name.                                 |
| `input.*`  | body | any    | —        |                                                                       |
| `provider` | body | string | —        | Provider is the connector, from the path.                             |

## Response

| Status    | Body            | Meaning |
| --------- | --------------- | ------- |
| `200`     | provider.runOut | ok      |
| `default` | problem-details | refused |

`200` body — 3 fields.

| Field    | In   | Type    | Always | Description                                                               |
| -------- | ---- | ------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `error`  | body | string  | —      | Error is why the action failed, when it did.                              |
| `ok`     | body | boolean | —      | Ok is whether the action ran to completion.                               |
| `output` | body | any     | —      | Output is the action's result when it ran; its shape is the action's own. |

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, ProviderApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new ProviderApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postProviderByProviderRun({ provider: 'provider', action: "<action>", input: {} });
```

**.py**

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

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = ProviderApi(client).post_provider_by_provider_run(provider='provider', action="<action>", input={})
```

**.go**

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

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

**.rs**

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

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

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

**.java**

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

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

var result = new ProviderApi(client).postProviderByProviderRun();
```

**HTTP**

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

**MCP**

MCP reaches **provider** through the `provider` 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_connections"
         }
       }
     }'
```
