Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/tel/messages`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_tel_messages`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Sends a message from one of this org's own numbers.

from must be a number the org HOLDS, checked against the store rather than taken on trust — a caller that could send from any number could impersonate one, and the carrier would deliver it. to is required, and the body needs text or media, because a message with neither is delivered as nothing and billed as something.

Request

4 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`from`	body	string	—	From is the number to send FROM, in E.164.
`media`	body	string[]	—	Media are URLs to attach.
`text`	body	string	—	Text is the message body.
`to`	body	string	—	To is the number to send to, in E.164.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`201`	tel.SMS	created
`default`	problem-details	refused

201 body — 6 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`from`	body	string	—	From is the sending number in E.164, and must be one this org holds.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the carrier's handle for the message.
`org`	body	string	—	Org is the tenant the message was sent for or received by.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is where the message is: "queued", "sent", "delivered" or "failed".
`text`	body	string	—	Text is the message body.
`to`	body	string	—	To is the receiving number in E.164.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches tel through the tel tool, which names its 10 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_tel_calls"
         }
       }
     }'
