## MCP tools (7)

### `teneo_capabilities` (~45 tokens)

Discover what Teneo can generate and how: auth, pricing (credits), request fields, the workflow, use cases, and the output shape. Call this first if unsure.

### `teneo_generate_book` (~190 tokens)

Generate a COMPLETE, publish-ready non-fiction book (full manuscript + cover + PDF/EPUB/DOCX) from a topic/spec. Asynchronous: returns a jobId immediately (~45 min to finish). Then poll teneo_book_status. Charged in Teneo credits to the funded account. Use for a finished book/manuscript or KDP-ready files — not for a short answer or fiction.

Input parameters:

- `author_name` (string)
- `creative_direction` (string): Tone / style / angle.
- `description` (string, required): What the book covers.
- `idempotency_key` (string): Optional stable retry key so the same request cannot double-charge.
- `number_of_chapters` (integer)
- `output_formats` (array)
- `target_audience` (string, required): Who the book is for.
- `title` (string, required): Book title (or the topic).

### `teneo_book_status` (~65 tokens)

Check a book generation job. When status is "completed", the response includes outputManifest with coverUrl and time-limited download URLs for each format. Poll every ~30-60s.

Input parameters:

- `jobId` (string, required): The jobId returned by teneo_generate_book.

### `teneo_generate_outline` (~71 tokens)

Generate an outline candidate for a nonfiction book without running the full book pipeline.

Input parameters:

- `description` (string): What the book covers.
- `number_of_chapters` (integer)
- `target_audience` (string): Who the book is for.
- `title` (string, required): Book title or topic.

### `teneo_generate_cover` (~67 tokens)

Generate a book cover only. This charges the account for cover generation credits.

Input parameters:

- `author` (string)
- `mood` (string)
- `provider` (string)
- `style` (string)
- `theme` (string)
- `title` (string, required)

### `teneo_evaluate_book` (~55 tokens)

Run a Teneo evaluation on an existing generated book.

Input parameters:

- `evaluationMode` (string)
- `forceRestart` (boolean)
- `fullBookId` (string, required)
- `rewriteVersion` (string)

### `teneo_research_niche` (~50 tokens)

Start a niche research job from a seed topic.

Input parameters:

- `audience` (string)
- `category` (string)
- `count` (integer)
- `topic` (string, required)
