MCP tool reference

The Helipod MCP server has 219 tools. Each one calls the public API with your key, so it can only do what that key allows.

• read-only tools never change anything.
• write tools create or change something. Tools marked costs money charge your Helipod wallet; the server tells the agent to show the price and wait for your OK first.
• destructive tools delete or overwrite something.

Only read-only tools are marked safe to run without asking: every write and destructive tool carries the MCP destructive hint, so clients that support tool hints (Claude, for example) ask before each change.

Errors come back as { status, code, error } with the same codes as the API, see Requests and errors.
