Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/esign/documents/{id}/send`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_esign_documents_by_id_send`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Sends the document out and answers each signer's link.

It moves the document from DRAFT to PENDING and answers the signing tokens — one per signing recipient, with the path to hand them — which is how the links reach the people who must sign. Nothing is emailed by this call; delivering the links is the caller's.

It refuses to send an unsignable document: no recipients at all is a 400, and so is any signing recipient with no fields to fill, named in the error. Re-sending an already-pending document is allowed and re-issues the same links rather than restarting anything; a completed document is a 409, and an unknown one a 404. The send is recorded on the audit trail.

Request

1 field.

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`id`	path	string	yes	ID is the document to send.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	esign.esignLinks	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 8 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the document that went out.
`recipients`	body	esign.esignLink[]	—	Recipients is one link per signing recipient.
`recipients[].email`	body	string	—	Email is the address this link is meant for.
`recipients[].recipientId`	body	string	—	RecipientID is the recipient the link identifies.
`recipients[].role`	body	string	—	Role is their role — only a SIGNER or an APPROVER gets a link, because only they are asked to act.
`recipients[].signingPath`	body	string	—	SigningPath is the tail of the address to send them, relative to wherever the signing page is served.
`recipients[].token`	body	string	—	Token is the crypto-random signing capability.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is PENDING — the state a sent document is in until every signer has finished.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches esign through the esign tool, which names its 9 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,

       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_esign_documents"
         }
       }
     }'
