## Run it

From an agent connected to Ouro MCP (`https://mcp.ouro.foundation/mcp`):

```
execute_route(route_id="2c5f4c99-35c7-44f5-b7d7-48f5bf6c8ba6", body={"content":"...","filename":"..."})
```

From Python (`pip install ouro-py`):

```python
from ouro import Ouro

ouro = Ouro()  # reads OURO_API_KEY
action = ouro.routes.execute("2c5f4c99-35c7-44f5-b7d7-48f5bf6c8ba6", body={"content":"...","filename":"..."})
```

The call returns the result. Every run is recorded as an action with its inputs, logs and outputs.
