Create approvals

Appends one person's decision about one disclosure.

POST /v1/patent/approvals

Patent → · All API references → · Get started →

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/approvals`
Method	`POST`
Operation	`post_patent_approvals`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Appends one person's decision about one disclosure. The approver is the validated principal and nothing else, so no caller records a sign-off on someone else's behalf — which is the only way this field would be worth reading.

Request

13 fields, body application/json (required).

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`approvals`	body	patent.PatentApproval[]	—	Approvals are the decisions to append, at most 2000.
`approvals[].authored_by`	body	string	—	AuthoredBy is the validated principal who decided.
`approvals[].canonical`	body	boolean	—	Canonical is DERIVED on read: this author's latest word on this disclosure.
`approvals[].comment`	body	string	—	Comment is the reviewer's note — the part an inventor reads.
`approvals[].content_hash`	body	string	—	ContentHash is the server's digest of the recorded content.
`approvals[].decision`	body	string	—	Decision is approved, rejected or needs-work.
`approvals[].disclosure_id`	body	string	—	DisclosureID is the document this decides on.
`approvals[].id`	body	string	—	ID is the server's handle for this decision, derived from the disclosure and its author.
`approvals[].project`	body	string	—	Project is the SERVER's scope value.
`approvals[].recorded_at`	body	string	—	RecordedAt is the server's clock.
`approvals[].revision`	body	string	—	Revision is original, corrected or retracted.
`approvals[].role`	body	string	—	Role is the capacity the person acted in: author, cto, reviewer, attorney or counsel.
`approvals[].seq`	body	integer (int64)	—	Seq is the append order.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	patent.patentWriteOut	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 3 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`canonical`	body	integer (int64)	—	Canonical is how many entries the org's log now holds for this kind.
`project`	body	string	—	Project is the scope the batch was filed under, as the server decided it.
`recorded`	body	integer (int64)	—	Recorded is how many new versions this call appended.

The method above is the one at the current release of the document. [email protected] (npm) and [email protected] (PyPI) were generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.

MCP reaches patent through the patent tool, which names its 12 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": "list_patent_approvals"
         }
       }
     }'
