What Kahani (Story) is for

"Kahani" is the Hindi word for a story. This connector is a fully local reference of classic Indian folk tales — the fables and legends told for centuries across the subcontinent to teach children (and everyone else) about honesty, cleverness, greed, friendship, patience and a dozen other everyday virtues, gathered in one place with original, hand-written summaries instead of a scroll through a dozen retelling sites of uneven quality.

What it does

An original summary of a single story, its characters, its moral, and which traditional collection it comes from (story_info); a keyword search across titles, characters and morals (story_search); every story from one collection — Panchatantra, Jataka Tales, Akbar-Birbal, Tenali Rama, or Hitopadesha (stories_by_collection); stories that teach a given theme like honesty, greed, friendship, cleverness, patience, unity, wisdom, gratitude, humility, courage, compassion, trust, fairness, or foolishness (stories_by_moral); a random pick good for a "story of the day" (random_story); background on recurring folk characters — Birbal, Tenali Rama, Akbar and Krishnadevaraya in the tales' context, and animal archetypes like the jackal, lion, crow, tortoise, brahmin, monkey and mongoose (character_info); brief background on each collection's own origin and purpose — the Panchatantra as a text for teaching statecraft to princes, the Jataka Tales as Buddhist birth-stories, and so on (collection_info); a glossary of the moral themes covered here, each with a one-line explanation (moral_glossary); and age-appropriate story suggestions based on the simplicity and gentleness of a story's content (story_for_age).

What it is not

Not a verbatim reproduction of any single published translation. These are ancient, public-domain tales — centuries to millennia old — and every summary, character note, and collection background here is written fresh, in the publisher's own words, citing only the traditional story and character names and morals that are themselves part of the public-domain folklore. It is also not an exhaustive or scholarly critical edition: 46 hand-picked stories across five well-known collections, chosen for how widely they are told and how clear their lessons are, not a complete inventory of every tale in every tradition.

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.

Kahani (Story) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Kahani (Story) is. Kahani (Story) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a fully local reference of classic Indian folk tales — story summaries, characters, morals, collection background, and a moral-theme 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 story title, a search keyword, a collection or character name, a moral theme, or an age group — 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-written 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. Kahani (Story) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant; the story_for_age tool is a content-suggestion aid, not a substitute for a parent's own judgment.

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

Kahani (Story) — Terms of Service

Effective 24 September 2026. These terms govern use of the Kahani (Story) connector ("the Service") operated by Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us").

1. The Service. Kahani (Story) returns a fully local reference of classic Indian folk tales — original summaries, characters, and morals for stories from the Panchatantra, Jataka Tales, Akbar-Birbal legends, Tenali Rama tales, and the Hitopadesha, plus character and collection background and a moral-theme glossary. It is accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP.
2. Original retellings of public-domain folklore. These are ancient, public-domain tales; every summary is written fresh by the publisher and is not a reproduction of any single modern translator's copyrighted text. The Service is an independent reference tool, not a critical or scholarly edition, and does not claim to be an exhaustive or historically definitive account of any tradition.
3. Not childcare advice. story_for_age offers a general simplicity/gentleness suggestion, not a guarantee of suitability for any particular child; use your own judgment.
4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
6. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: your query is answered from a bundled reference file, and nothing is stored.
7. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
8. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of or reliance on the Service. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
