Frequently asked

What does the Velocity Calculator API do?

Calculate average velocity, distance, time, or relative velocity with distance, time, and speed units. Use it when you need exact JSON instead of asking an LLM to recreate well-defined utility logic.

How much does one call to Velocity Calculator cost?

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

What parameters does the Velocity Calculator API require?

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

Is the Velocity 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 Velocity Calculator API?

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

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 (velocity-calculator) and its JSON Schema automatically — no client codegen.

# List tools the agent can call
curl -s https://api.miniwebtool.com/v1/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' \
 | jq '.result.tools[] | select(.name=="velocity-calculator")'
