## About API.Bible with LuumenAI

Connect API.Bible and ask for Scripture without leaving the terminal. List the translations you have access to, walk a version's books and sections, and pull a verse, chapter, or passage as text. Audio Bibles resolve to an mp3 URL for the chapter you name. Luumen authenticates with an API key. Every tool here is read-only, so answers come back immediately and nothing is changed.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to API.Bible?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in API.Bible on its own?

No. Every one of the 19 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from API.Bible but cannot change anything in it. Read actions still follow the configured access and approval policy.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to API.Bible is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
