# Get the exact arguments a tool takes

`POST /api/v1/tools/get_tool_schema/execute`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://adako.ai`
- URL: `https://adako.ai/api/v1/tools/get_tool_schema/execute`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns the live JSON schema of one or more tools: required fields, enums, defaults, example prompts and the exact line to call it with. Free and instant — it never touches an ad platform.
Use when: search_tools or a router pointed you at a tool and you need its arguments before calling it; or a call failed validation and you want the real field names.
When not to use: the tool is already in your tool list with its schema attached — read that instead.
Returns: one block per tool with risk, cost, the "How to call" line and the schema. Pass verbose=false for a compact field/type list when you only need the names.
If a name is unknown, you get near matches; pick one or call search_tools. Never invent field names.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string

## Request body

- object
  - `arguments` object, required
    - `tool_names` string[], required: Exact tool names, 1–10 of them. Use the names search_tools or a router returned.
    - `verbose` boolean: Full JSON schema (default true). false returns just field names and types.

## Response `200`

The tool ran. A write returns proposal_id and approve_url while the change waits for approval.

- SuccessEnvelope
  - `success` unknown, required
  - `tool` string, required
  - `data` object, required: Machine-readable result.
  - `markdown` string, required: The same result written for a person or a model.
  - `quota` Quota: Task usage for the current billing period.
    - `plan` string
    - `used` integer
    - `limit` integer
    - `period_end` string
    - `upgrade_url` string
  - `proposal_id` string: Present for writes. Nothing changes on the ad platform until it is approved.
  - `approve_url` string: Where a person approves the proposal.
  - `request_id` string, required
