You should have a call function in your controller:
def call():
...
session.forget()
return service()
You can expose a function like so:
@service.run
def add_two(a,b):
if auth.is_logged_in():
return a+b
return 'unauthorized'
You can call like:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/default/call/run/add_two?a=hello&b=world
http://127.0.0.1:8000/app/default/call/run/add_two/hello/world
Is that what you're looking for?
