Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/compliance/subjects`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_compliance_subjects`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Records a party the org is verifying as part of its own onboarding/compliance — a team member, vendor, customer, or counterparty. The subject's contact PII (name/email) is sealed at rest and returned only to the owning org; downstream records reference the subject by opaque id.

Request

4 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`email`	body	string	—	Email is the subject's contact email, sealed at rest.
`kind`	body	string	—	Kind is the party type: "individual" (KYC) or "business" (KYB).
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the subject's name, sealed at rest.
`ref`	body	string	—	Ref is the org's own opaque external id for this subject.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`201`	compliance.Subject	created
`default`	problem-details	refused

201 body — 8 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`createdAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	CreatedAt is when the subject was first recorded, Unix SECONDS.
`email`	body	string	—	Email is the party's address, when the org supplied one.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the opaque handle every other record uses to point at this party.
`kind`	body	string	—	Kind is what is being verified: "individual" (a natural person, so KYC) or "business" (a legal entity, so KYB).
`name`	body	string	—	Name is the party's name, under the same PII rule as Email.
`org`	body	string	—	Org is the tenant that is doing the verifying — the party who must answer for this record, not the party being verified.
`ref`	body	string	—	Ref is the org's OWN identifier for this party, carried so a caller can match a subject back to their system without keeping a second mapping.
`updatedAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	UpdatedAt is when the subject's own fields last changed, Unix seconds.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches compliance through the compliance tool, which names its 16 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_compliance_accreditation"
         }
       }
     }'
