| **Address**   | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/grants` |
| **Method**    | `POST`                                  |

| **Auth**      | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`  |

Makes the decision a recording never implied: whether an
idea, implementation or disclosure stays private to its author's project, opens
to the org, or goes public. Publication of a conception entry is a
disclosure under 35 U.S.C. §102 in every jurisdiction that reads it that way,
so it is always a separate call and never a side effect of writing one down.

## Request

4 fields, body `application/json` (required).

| Field        | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                     |
| ------------ | ---- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`         | body | string | —        | ID is the record's stable id.                                   |
| `kind`       | body | string | —        | Kind is idea, implementation or disclosure — what the id names. |
| `project`    | body | string | —        | Project locates the record inside the caller's own org.         |
| `visibility` | body | string | —        | Visibility is private, org or public.                           |

## Response

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

`200` body — 1 field.

| Field     | In   | Type            | Always | Description                                                              |
| --------- | ---- | --------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `updated` | body | integer (int64) | —      | Updated is how many records the grant moved to the visibility asked for. |

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

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo patent grants
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

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

const api = new PatentApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postPatentGrants({ id: "<id>", kind: "<kind>" });
```

**.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_grants(id="<id>", kind="<kind>")
```

**.go**

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

resp, _, err := client.PatentAPI.PostPatentGrants(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_grants(&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).postPatentGrants();
```

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.

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/patent/grants \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "id": "<id>",
       "kind": "<kind>"
     }'
```

**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"
         }
       }
     }'
```
