faq frequently asked
What does the Kinetic Energy Calculator API do? +
Solve kinetic energy, mass, or velocity with KE = 1/2 m v^2 and unit conversions. Use it to add this utility without rebuilding formulas, validation, examples, and documentation.
How much does one call to Kinetic Energy Calculator cost? +
1 credit per successful call. Failed calls (validation errors, 5xx) don't bill.
What parameters does the Kinetic Energy Calculator API require? +
Required fields: (none). Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.
Is the Kinetic Energy 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 Kinetic Energy Calculator API? +
Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `kinetic-energy-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](/docs/#mcp) at`https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp`. Claude, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent can discover this tool (`kinetic-energy-calculator`) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.
