Defines a DocType in the caller's org: the metadata that gives a
document surface its fields, its naming rule, whether it has a submit/cancel
lifecycle, and which role may do what to it. Manager-only — on a fresh org the
first caller to administer it is seeded as its System Manager, after which
only a System Manager (or a platform admin) may define. Answers 201.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo framework doctypes create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, FrameworkApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new FrameworkApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postFrameworkDoctypes({ autoname: "<autoname>", createdAt: 0 });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import FrameworkApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = FrameworkApi(client).post_framework_doctypes(autoname="<autoname>", created_at=0)
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.FrameworkAPI.PostFrameworkDoctypes(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, framework_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = framework_api::post_framework_doctypes(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.FrameworkApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new FrameworkApi(client).postFrameworkDoctypes();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/framework/doctypes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "autoname": "<autoname>",
       "createdAt": 0
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **framework** through the `framework` tool, which names its 14 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
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_framework_by_doctype"
         }
       }
     }'
```
