Well, in my opinion it doesn't really matter if you send the ok or not, but in the end I think the API should be consistent. Either you return ok on all calls that don't retrun documents, or you use the HTTP status code on all. Otherwise you make it more difficult for programmers to use it.

I think "ok" : true is what we want here.
