# Anaella

> Anaella is a single API for your agents: typed tools, plus the accounts you connect. Agents read and send email (Gmail, Outlook / Microsoft 365, any IMAP mailbox), read and post in Slack, check calendars and book events, search and read Google Drive, write Google Docs, read and update Google Sheets, query Search Console and Google Analytics, pull Meta and Google Ads data, answer Google Business Profile reviews, publish to 9+ social networks and reply to comments, search the web and generate images. Available via hosted MCP, CLI, and REST. Free to start, no credit card required.

Anaella provides three core capabilities for AI agents and developers:
1. Tools: Discover and run typed capabilities via GET /v1/find, GET /v1/explain/:id, and POST /v1/do/:id. Built-in tools include web, news and research-paper search (web.search), web page scraping to markdown (web.page.read), page change tracking (web.page.changes), screenshots (web.page.screenshot), SEO page audits (seo.page.audit), sitemaps and site crawls (web.site.map, web.site.crawl), company profiles (company.research), business prospects with their decision makers as LinkedIn links (prospects.search, prospects.discover, prospects.people), stock media search/import, image generation (media.image.generate), Google Search Console queries (gsc.queries.list, gsc.url.inspect) Google Analytics 4 reports (analytics.report) Meta ads insights (ads.meta.insights) Google Ads GAQL queries (ads.google.query), ads diagnostics on Google and Meta accounts (ads.audit for a scored account audit, 82 controls on Google Ads and 50 on Meta; ads.pulse for spend spikes, delivery drops and stopped conversions; ads.budget.review for a kill or scale verdict per campaign and, on Meta, per ad (hook rate, fatigue, starved ads); ads.google.wasted_spend for search terms and phrases to add as negatives; ads.competitors for a competitor's live Meta ads and hooks from the public Ad Library, EU/UK markets; ads.google.organic_overlap for paid search terms that already rank organically in Search Console) Google Business Profile reviews (reviews.list, reviews.reply) Google Calendar or Outlook calendars (calendar.availability, calendar.event.create), Google Sheets (sheets.info, sheets.read, sheets.append, sheets.update) email from Gmail, Outlook / Microsoft 365 or any IMAP/SMTP mailbox (email.list, email.get, email.send), and payments on the business's own Stripe or PayPal account (payments.request.create emails an invoice and returns its pay link; the stripe.* and paypal.* families cover customers, products, prices, payment links, invoices, refunds, subscriptions, coupons and disputes), and the business's own n8n instance, connected with its API key (the n8n.* family lists, creates, updates, turns on and runs workflows by their Webhook trigger, reads runs and why they failed, retries them, and reads and writes n8n data tables; a watch on n8n.executions.list with status error alerts on failed runs), reading any RSS or Atom feed (rss.feed.read), RSS feeds that turn new items into posts (rss.feeds.list, rss.feed.add, rss.feed.update, rss.feed.remove), tracked short links that count people, not bots (link.create with optional utm_* params, link.stats for clicks by country and device), and the workspace's link-in-bio page (bio.get, bio.update). Pricing is transparent per call in dollars, with a monthly credit included on every plan.
2. Connect: Securely connect user accounts (mailboxes, calendars, Google Workspace, Search Console, Analytics, ads accounts, Business Profile, social networks) through hosted links (OAuth, or a sign-in form for IMAP mailboxes, Bluesky and Telegram) or the API (POST /v1/connect/credentials for sign-in-form accounts). Use typed tools or channel.request for raw API passthrough. Tokens are refreshed and never exposed to the agent.
3. Agents: Tell any agent "set up https://anaella.com/SKILL.md" and it configures itself (MCP connector, Claude Code plugin or CLI). Or connect your agents in minutes via hosted MCP (https://api.anaella.com/mcp), the agent plugin for Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity (https://github.com/dahoai/anaella-agent-plugin: /plugin marketplace add dahoai/anaella-agent-plugin then /plugin install anaella@anaella in Claude Code; codex plugin marketplace add dahoai/anaella-agent-plugin then codex plugin add anaella@anaella in Codex; npx skills add for other agents), the @anaella/cli npm package, REST API endpoints (/v1), or the n8n community node (@anaella/n8n-nodes-anaella).

Social publishing is one of the tool families: scheduling and publishing across 9+ networks: X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky. Includes calendar scheduling, per-channel content, RSS auto-posting, first-comment scheduling, and analytics. Posts are created with POST /v1/posts (social.post.create) and drafts or scheduled posts are edited in place with PATCH /v1/posts/:id (social.post.update); posts are listed, read and deleted with social.posts.list, social.post.get and social.post.delete, per-post metrics come from social.post.analytics, and media.upload registers public media URLs: only the fields sent change, and media is replaced as a whole list. Per-channel publish settings go in `settings.<channelId>`: a TikTok channel needs { tiktok: { privacyLevel } } (PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE, MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS, FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR or SELF_ONLY, chosen by the user) before it publishes, or { tiktok: { asDraft: true } } to send it to the creator's TikTok inbox to finish in the app; TikTok takes one video or up to 35 JPEG/WebP photos, and tiktok.videos.list lists every video on the account with its views and likes; YouTube takes { youtube: { title, privacyStatus, tags } }, Reddit { reddit: { subreddit, title } }. Comments on published posts (X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Mastodon): social.comments.list (default: live comments on posts published in the last `days`, 7 by default, at most the 10 most recent; postId = one post; inbox: true = the reply inbox with Anaella's drafted replies and a status filter; unanswered: true skips comments already answered, through Anaella or directly on the network; answeredOnNetwork flags the latter) and social.comments.reply (commentId + text; mode send (default; no text = send the existing draft), draft (queue it in the Inbox for approval) or dismiss; fits the network's limit; one reply per comment; 100 per day) and social.comments.delete (commentId; mode delete (default: removed on Facebook/Instagram, rejected on YouTube), hide (reversible; X can only hide), unhide, or delete_reply (takes back the reply Anaella sent; the comment is unanswered again); 100 per day). Direct messages (Facebook Messenger, Instagram): message.received webhooks carry each DM, and social.messages.send (channelId, recipientId = the webhook's senderId, text) answers it, only within 24 hours of the person's last message (else outside_window); social.messages.list reads the stored conversations (or one conversation's messages with conversationId), each message with who sent it.

Pricing: no subscription. Free ($0: unlimited channels, every network including X, 60 scheduled posts/month, $1 welcome credit then $0.50/month, API and MCP access). Add credit from $10 and paid tools run as long as you have credit, at a listed price per call. Limits grow with credit added: Tier 1 ($10), Tier 2 ($50), Tier 3 ($250). Customers set their own daily spending limit ($100 by default). Actions in the user's name (emails, texts, calls, replies) keep a fixed daily limit on every tier.

## Tools API (one key, many capabilities)
1. GET /v1/find?q=<what you want to do>: ranked capabilities with dollar prices (free)
2. GET /v1/explain/<id>: input/output JSON Schema (free)
3. POST /v1/do/<id> with the input: 200 finished job, or 202 queued job
4. GET /v1/jobs/<jobId>: poll async jobs; failed jobs cost nothing
Connect Google Search Console under Channels (SEO) and pick your sites: each site (domain) becomes its own channel. gsc.sites.list returns the connected sites with their channelId ([] plus next.connectChannel when none); gsc.queries.list and gsc.url.inspect act on one site: pass site (e.g. "example.com") or channelId, required once more than one site is connected (422 lists them, never guessed); outputs echo the site used. All free. Without a channel they return channel_required with next.connectChannel.
Connect Google Analytics under Channels (SEO) and pick your GA4 properties: each property becomes its own channel. analytics.properties.list returns them with their channelId ([] plus next.connectChannel when none). analytics.report runs a GA4 report (metrics 1-10, dimensions 0-9, startDate/endDate as YYYY-MM-DD, today, yesterday or NdaysAgo, optional filters, orderBy, limit/offset, includeTotals) on one property: pass property ("123" or "properties/123") or channelId, required once more than one is connected. Free.
Connect Meta Ads under Accounts (Ads) and pick ad accounts: each ad account is its own channel. ads.meta.accounts.list returns the connected ones (channelId, adAccountId "act_123", name, status). ads.meta.update (level campaign|adset|ad + id) pauses, resumes or re-budgets a campaign, ad set or ad of one (needs approval; dryRun validates without changing; output has before); ads.meta.pages.list lists the login's Facebook Pages and recent posts. ads.meta.ad.create creates a complete ad, PAUSED (needs approval): pageId, then postId (promote a post) or link + message + resourceId|imageUrl (+ headline, callToAction), objective traffic|engagement|awareness, dailyBudget in minor units, countries, ageMin/ageMax; rolls back on failure. ads.meta.datasets.list lists an ad account's datasets (pixels); ads.meta.events.send sends 1-100 Conversions API events (Lead, Schedule, Purchase…) to one of them, customer data passed raw and hashed by Anaella, testEventCode for Events Manager test events. ads.meta.insights reports one ad account (adAccountId or channelId, required once several are connected): level account|campaign|adset|ad, fields (default spend, impressions, reach, clicks, ctr, cpc, cpm; actions flattened to actions.<type>), datePreset (default last_30d) or startDate/endDate, timeIncrement day|month|all, up to 2 breakdowns, limit/after paging. Free.
Connect Google Ads under Channels (Ads) and pick your accounts: each account (customer) becomes its own channel. ads.google.accounts.list returns them with their customerId and channelId ([] plus next.connectChannel when none). ads.google.query runs a read-only GAQL SELECT (query) on one account: pass customerId ("1234567890" or "123-456-7890") or channelId, required once more than one is connected. Rows are keyed by field path in camelCase ("campaign.name", "metrics.costMicros"), metrics are numbers; page with LIMIT and pageToken (from next). Free. Writes (need approval; dryRun: true has Google validate without changing anything; each output carries before, to undo): ads.google.campaign.update (status ENABLED|PAUSED, dailyBudget in account currency, bidding MAXIMIZE_CLICKS|MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS|MANUAL_CPC), ads.google.negatives.update (add/remove {text, matchType} on campaignId or sharedSetId), ads.google.keywords.update (adGroupId; add/pause/enable/remove), ads.google.ad.update (adId; status, or RSA headlines + descriptions), ads.google.ad.create (RSA, always PAUSED), ads.google.conversion_goal.update (category + origin, biddable).
Connect Google Business Profile under Channels (SEO) and pick your locations: each location becomes its own channel. reviews.locations.list returns them with their location ("accounts/1/locations/2") and channelId ([] plus next.connectChannel when none). reviews.list (orderBy newest|highest|lowest, pageSize 1-50, pageToken) returns reviews with reviewId, rating 1-5, comment, reviewer and reply (null when unanswered). reviews.reply posts a PUBLIC owner reply (reviewId, comment 1-4096 chars); a review that already has a reply is refused unless replace: true; 200 replies per location per day. Pass location ("2", "locations/2" or the full name) or channelId, required once more than one is connected. Free.
Connect Google Calendar under Channels (Workspace): one Google login is one channel; calendars are picked by calendarId (default "primary"). calendar.availability (start, end as RFC 3339 with offset, max 62 days; calendarIds, default ["primary"]) returns busy intervals per calendar and the shared free intervals (UTC), never event details. calendar.event.create writes an event: title, start/end (RFC 3339 with offset + timeZone, or YYYY-MM-DD all-day with inclusive end), description, location, attendees (max 50, NOT emailed unless notifyAttendees: true), meet: true for a Meet link; 100 per account per day. Free.
Calendar tools (Google Calendar and Outlook): calendar.calendars.list, calendar.events.list (from/to, recurrences expanded, query, attendees and myResponse; watchable), calendar.event.get, calendar.event.update (only given fields; attendees told only with notifyAttendees), calendar.event.delete (notifyAttendees sends a cancellation), calendar.event.respond (accepted/declined/tentative). Writes: 100/day each.
Connect Google Sheets under Channels (Workspace): one Google login is one channel; the spreadsheets scope reaches sheets the account can open but cannot list Drive, so pass a sheet id or docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/... URL. sheets.info (title, tabs), sheets.read (range in A1 notation, default first tab; first row as column names by default, rows as objects; raw: true for unformatted values; limit up to 5000 rows), sheets.append (rows as arrays or objects keyed by the header row; 200/day), sheets.update (overwrite a range; read first and confirm with the user; 200/day). Writes store values as given (a leading = is not run as a formula) unless parse: true. Free.
More Sheets tools: sheets.create (title, tabs, first rows; 50/day), sheets.tab.add (add or rename a tab; tabs are never deleted), sheets.clear (empty a range; formatting stays).
E-signature: document.sign signs a PDF for the user (typed name or signature image, placed on a field or at page coordinates; returns the file and its sha256). document.signature_request.create takes a library PDF and signers in order and returns one private link per signer, which you send yourself: Anaella sends nothing. The hosted page (English, French, Spanish) lets each signer read, agree, draw or type a signature, or decline; order is enforced. document.signature_request.get returns the audit record (time, IP, browser, fingerprints of each step); document.signature_request.cancel stops the links. Webhook events: document.signer_signed (nextSigner is who gets the next link), document.signed, document.declined, document.expired. It is an electronic signature with an audit record, not a cryptographic one. Free, 200 calls per day.

Watches (triggers): watch.create {capability, input, every: 5m|15m|1h|6h|1d, url?} watches email.list, slack.messages.list, social.comments.list, reviews.list, drive.files.search, sheets.read or calendar.events.list and reports only new items (within seconds when the provider pushes changes: delivery "instant"; else at its cadence), as a watch.triggered webhook (url registers one) and through watch.events (poll with since). The first run records what exists without reporting it. Pauses on reconnect_required or ten failures in a row; watch.list, watch.update (resume), watch.delete. 25 per organization, free.
Automations (AI agent on new items or on a schedule): automation.create {name, instructions, source: {capability, input, every} | {watchId} | {schedule: {cron, timezone}}, tools: [capability ids the agent may call], approval: review|auto, maxRunsPerDay} hands each batch of new items (or, on a schedule, nothing: it looks things up with its tools) to Anaella's agent with your instructions. In review mode (default) reads run and every write waits as a pending action: automation.actions.list, automation.action.decide {actionId, approve, input?}. automation.test runs it on what is there now (writes always wait). automation.runs (history; runId for one in full), automation.list, automation.update (active pauses/resumes with its watch), automation.delete. Runs are billed in AI credits by tokens; automation.run.finished webhook.
Connect Slack under Channels (Workspace): installs the Anaella bot in one workspace (slack OAuth-app family). slack.channels.list (public channels and private ones the bot was invited to; isMember), slack.messages.list (channel by id or #name, newest first, or one thread's replies; since, limit up to 200, cursor; the bot must be in the channel), slack.message.send (post as the bot in any public channel, thread replies with thread and broadcast; 200/day). Free.
More Slack tools: slack.users.list (people, lookup by email), DMs (channel = a user id, email or @handle in slack.message.send and slack.messages.list), slack.message.update (edit or delete the app's own message), slack.reaction.add (add/remove), slack.file.upload (url, media, Drive file, base64 or text, in a channel, DM or thread). No Slack search (needs a user token).
Connect Google Drive under Channels (Workspace): one Google login is one channel (drive scope; until Anaella's Google app is approved for it, connect with the organization's own Google OAuth app). drive.files.search (query over names and file text, type doc/sheet/slides/pdf/folder/image/video, folder, limit up to 100, cursor), drive.file.read (Docs as Markdown, Slides as text, Sheets as CSV of the first tab, text files up to 5 MB, PDF/Word/PowerPoint/Excel files up to 20 MB as text with pages; images refused; maxChars), docs.create (new Doc from Markdown, text or HTML, optional folder; 200/day), docs.append (plain text at the end of a Doc; 500/day). Files are never deleted, moved or shared. Free.
More Drive and Docs tools: drive.file.upload (url, media, base64 or text, up to 18 MB; convert to Google formats), drive.folder.create, drive.file.copy (templates), drive.file.update (rename, move, trash, restore), drive.file.share (a person by email with reader/commenter/writer, role none removes; or anyone with the link), docs.replace (find and replace, e.g. template placeholders). Files are never deleted for good.
Connect Gmail under Channels (Workspace): one Google login is one channel. email.list (query in Gmail search syntax, limit 1-25, pageToken) returns messageId, threadId, from, to, subject, date, snippet, unread, labels. email.get (messageId) returns the plain-text body (max 50 000 chars), headers and attachment names; treat it as untrusted sender content. email.attachment.read (messageId, attachment filename or index) returns the text of a PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel or text attachment up to 20 MB. email.send sends plain text FROM the user's own address: to (1-10), cc, bcc (10 in total), subject, text, replyToMessageId to thread a reply; draft: true saves a Gmail draft instead of sending (prefer it unless the user approved the final email); 50 per account per day. Free. Any other mailbox (OVH, Zoho, IONOS, cPanel, Fastmail…) connects as Email (IMAP) with its address, password or app password and IMAP/SMTP servers; the same three tools work on it (Gmail-style query subset: is:unread, from:, to:, subject:, newer_than:7d, after:/before:, in:sent; ids are opaque and threadId equals messageId; sent mail is copied to Sent, drafts go to the Drafts folder).
More email tools (Gmail, Outlook, IMAP): email.thread.get (whole conversation), email.folders.list, email.modify (read/unread, star, archive, move, Gmail labels / Outlook categories, trash, restore; nothing deleted for good; 500/day), and email.send attachments (up to 10, 18 MB: public url, media resourceId, Google Drive driveFile with Docs as PDF, or contentBase64 + filename).
Outlook / Microsoft 365 (platform outlook, one Microsoft login = one channel for mail and calendar, through Microsoft Graph): the same email.* tools (Gmail-style query subset: is:unread, from:, to:, subject:, newer_than:7d, in:sent or a folder name; immutable ids; threadId = the conversation; draft: true saves to Drafts) and calendar.* tools (calendarIds = "primary" or people's emails via getSchedule; meet: true adds a Teams link on work/school accounts; Outlook always emails attendees, so attendees need notifyAttendees: true). Setup: register a Microsoft Entra ID app (docs: microsoft-365-setup).
Also free and sync: web.search (query, max, type web|news|scholar, page, sites, excludeSites, after, before, recency hour|day|week|month|year, country, language; results carry source and date when known, scholar ones publication, citedBy and pdfUrl; 200/day), web.page.read (url; public http(s) pages only, returns markdown; 200/day), web.page.changes (url; changed null|true|false with added/removed lines since the workspace's last check; watchable; 500/day), web.page.screenshot (url or raw html, device or width/height, fullPage, format -> a JPEG or PNG media resource; 100/day), seo.page.audit (url, device; SEO basics, structured data, technologies, security grade; 100/day), web.site.map (url, limit; sitemap URLs; 100/day), web.site.crawl (async; url, maxPages up to 100, includeText; 20/day), company.research (domain; 200/day), prospects.search (type, query, place, hasPhone, hasWebsite, minRating, limit up to 100; businesses with a role email, never a person's; 300/day), prospects.discover (async; query + place, max up to 60; new businesses added to the search; 10/day), prospects.people (businessId; LinkedIn profile links, no emails; 100/day), media.stock.search (query, kind image|video, limit, orientation; 300/day; each result has id, thumbnailUrl and attribution.text) and media.stock.import (id from a search result -> a media resource; 100/day). Display attribution.text wherever you publish stock media. When a daily quota is used up the call returns 429 rate_limited with resetAt (next 00:00 UTC) and limit.
media.image.generate (prompt, shape square|portrait|landscape, quality low|medium) costs $0.01 to $0.13 per image, depending on the image model. A call the balance can't cover returns 402 insufficient_balance; add credit at https://anaella.com/organizations/billing (top-ups of $10/$25/$100 or auto top-up).
Connect (for apps): hosted links let your users connect their own Google Search Console without an Anaella account (POST /v1/connect/sessions); call their data via gsc.* or channel.request. Tokens are never returned. Use find/explain/do (channel.request is category=raw).
End users: send x-anaella-end-user: <your user id> on every call made for one of your users (/v1/do, posts, channels, analytics, connect, disconnect, jobs); Anaella refuses a channel that isn't theirs (403 end_user_mismatch), picks default channels among theirs, and scopes lists and analytics to them.
Errors carry `next` links (e.g. next.topUp on 402). Auth: Authorization: Bearer ana_...
