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

Begins a KYC/KYB verification of a subject through the wired provider — an existing subject by id, or one created inline from the request. The returned status is provider-reported and never terminal on a fresh start: starting a verification can never yield a verified record, and a provider error is a 502, never a verification.

Request

5 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`email`	body	string	—	Email is an inline subject's contact email, sealed at rest.
`kind`	body	string	—	Kind is an inline subject's party type: "individual" (KYC) or "business" (KYB).
`name`	body	string	—	Name is an inline subject's name, sealed at rest.
`ref`	body	string	—	Ref is the org's own opaque external id for an inline subject.
`subjectId`	body	string	—	SubjectID names an existing subject to verify; empty creates one inline.

Response

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

201 body — 10 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`createdAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	CreatedAt is the unix second the verification was started.
`decidedAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	DecidedAt is the unix second a terminal status was recorded.
`decidedBy`	body	string	—	DecidedBy records who settled a terminal status: the provider name, or a reviewer's user id for a recorded manual decision.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the verification's opaque id.
`kind`	body	string	—	Kind is the party type: "individual" (KYC) or "business" (KYB).
`provider`	body	string	—	Provider is the verification provider this check runs through.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is the check's state: pending, provider_verified, provider_rejected, manual_review, or expired (provider-reported), or reviewer_confirmed — the one value a privileged human reviewer records, never a provider.
`subjectId`	body	string	—	SubjectID is the opaque id of the subject under verification.
`updatedAt`	body	integer (int64)	—	UpdatedAt is the unix second the verification last changed.
`verifyUrl`	body	string	—	VerifyURL is the provider's hosted verification flow for the subject, when one exists.

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,

         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {

         }
       }
     }'
