faq frequently asked
What does the Confidence Interval Calculator API do?+

Confidence interval for a population mean from raw data or summary statistics, using the t-distribution or the normal distribution. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.

How much does one call to Confidence Interval Calculator cost?+

1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.

What parameters does the Confidence Interval Calculator API require?+

Required fields: (none). Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.

Is the Confidence Interval Calculator API deterministic?+

Yes — same input, same output, forever. Tool version 2026-04-22; output shape is stable within a major version.

Can an AI agent call the Confidence Interval Calculator API?+

Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `confidence-interval-calculator` with its JSON Schema automatically, so the model can plan while MiniWebtool handles the exact tool result.

What format does the API return?+

JSON with a stable envelope: `{request_id, tool, tool_version, credits_used, result}`. Errors are RFC 7807 `application/problem+json`.

mcp use from an AI agent

Every endpoint on this site is also exposed via the Model Context Protocol at https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent can discover this tool (confidence-interval-calculator) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.

# List tools the agent can call
