What Bengali Sayings is for

The question that comes up whenever a Bengali proverb is quoted — what does এক হাতে তালি বাজে না actually mean, is there a Bengali equivalent of "a bird in the hand", when would someone actually say অতি লোভে তাঁতি নষ্ট — answered from one hand-curated, respectful reference, without hunting across forum threads of varying reliability.

What it does

56 traditional Bengali (Bangla) proverbs and sayings, each given in real Bengali script with a romanized transliteration, an English literal (word-for-word) gloss, a figurative (actual) meaning, and a short usage note describing the everyday situation in which it's said (explain_saying, search_sayings). A deterministic saying of the day and a random pick (saying_of_the_day, random_saying). Ten themes — from greed and wealth to friendship, caution, and wisdom and folly — that every saying is grouped under (sayings_by_theme, list_themes), plus a similar-sayings finder that surfaces other proverbs sharing a theme or lesson (similar_sayings). A small glossary of proverb-related terms: probad, probochon, literal vs. figurative meaning (glossary).

What it is not

Not a claim that any one of these proverbs "belongs" to a single religion, region, or community — Bengali is spoken across many faiths and regions (India's West Bengal, Bangladesh, and a wider diaspora), and these are traditional, communally-shared folk sayings, not the property of any one group. Not a source of copyrighted poems or song lyrics — this connector deliberately covers only traditional proverbs and sayings, not lines attributed to a named modern author. Not a claim of completeness: Bengali has thousands of proverbs across many regional variants, and this is a curated, verified selection rather than an exhaustive compendium. Fully local, zero upstream calls, nothing stored.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Bengali Sayings — Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Bengali Sayings is. Bengali Sayings is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a hand-curated Bengali proverb reference: proverbs, themes, explanations, and a glossary. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a saying, a theme, or a glossary term — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Bengali Sayings is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
