Writes one feed row by hand and pushes it to every screen watching.
It is how a controller puts something on the record that no automatic write
would have produced.

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

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo patrol event create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

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

const api = new PatrolApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postPatrolEvent({ detail: "<detail>", level: "<level>" });
```

**.py**

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

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = PatrolApi(client).post_patrol_event(detail="<detail>", level="<level>")
```

**.go**

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

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

**.rs**

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

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

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

**.java**

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

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

var result = new PatrolApi(client).postPatrolEvent();
```

**HTTP**

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

**MCP**

MCP reaches **patrol** through the `patrol` tool, which names its 26 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_patrol_camera"
         }
       }
     }'
```
