Appends the assembled document and the record ids it
rests on. The document is a rendering of what the log already holds, and its
citations are what let a reader check it instead of taking it.

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

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo patent disclosures create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

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

const api = new PatentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postPatentDisclosures({ disclosures: [{"approvals":[{"authored_by":null,"canonical":null,"comment":null,"content_hash":null}],"authored_by":"<authored_by>","body":"<body>","body_sha256":"<body_sha256>"}] });
```

**.py**

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

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = PatentApi(client).post_patent_disclosures(disclosures=[{"approvals":[{"authored_by":null,"canonical":null,"comment":null,"content_hash":null}],"authored_by":"<authored_by>","body":"<body>","body_sha256":"<body_sha256>"}])
```

**.go**

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

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

**.rs**

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

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

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

**.java**

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

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

var result = new PatentApi(client).postPatentDisclosures();
```

The method above is the one at the current release of the document. `hanzoai@8.5.914` (npm) and `hanzoai@8.5.914` (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. [SDKs →](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/sdks)

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/disclosures \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "disclosures": [
         {
           "approvals": [
             {
               "authored_by": null,
               "canonical": null,
               "comment": null,
               "content_hash": null
             }
           ],
           "authored_by": "<authored_by>",
           "body": "<body>",
           "body_sha256": "<body_sha256>"
         }
       ]
     }'
```

**MCP**

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:

```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": "list_patent_approvals"
         }
       }
     }'
```
