What does the SHA-256 Hash Generator API do?

Generate a SHA-256 hex digest of a UTF-8 string. Use it when you need exact JSON instead of asking an LLM to recreate well-defined utility logic.

How much does one call to SHA-256 Hash Generator cost?

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

What parameters does the SHA-256 Hash Generator API require?

Required fields: text. Full schema at /v1/openapi.json.

Is the SHA-256 Hash Generator 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 SHA-256 Hash Generator API?

Yes. Connect to https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp over the Model Context Protocol. The agent discovers `sha256-hash-generator` 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`.
