The states run forward only. An act from a state it does not leave is 409 naming the state the incident is in, and a caller without the act's roles is refused. ## Request 7 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ---- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `name` | path | string | yes | Name is the incident's document name, from the path. | | `act` | body | string | — | Act is VERIFY, DISPATCH, ROLL, ARRIVE, CHECK, SECURE, FILE, CLOSE or ESCALATE. | | `detail` | body | string | — | Detail is what to write on the trail with this act. | | `false` | body | boolean | — | False says the activation turned out to be nothing, read by CLOSE. | | `name` | body | string | — | Name is the incident's document name, from the path. | | `outcome` | body | string | — | Outcome is what the incident came to, read by CLOSE. | | `unit` | body | string | — | Unit is the call sign to send, read by DISPATCH. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | ------------------------ | ------- | | `200` | patrol.patrolIncidentOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 34 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ----------------------- | ---- | --------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `data` | body | patrol.patrolIncident | — | | | `data.checked` | body | string | — | Checked is when the premises had been walked. | | `data.clocks` | body | patrol.patrolClock\[] | — | Clocks is the SLA clocks, present on a single-incident read. | | `data.clocks[].elapsed` | body | integer (int64) | — | Elapsed is the seconds run so far, or the seconds it took when settled. | | `data.clocks[].label` | body | string | — | Label names the clock: Verify, Dispatch or On site. | | `data.clocks[].settled` | body | integer (int64) | — | Settled is the seconds it took, or -1 while the clock is still running. | | `data.clocks[].target` | body | integer (int64) | — | Target is the contracted seconds. | | `data.closed` | body | string | — | Closed is when the incident was closed. | | `data.dispatched` | body | string | — | Dispatched is when a unit was assigned. | | `data.enroute` | body | string | — | Enroute is when that unit started moving. | | `data.escalated` | body | string | — | Escalated is when it was escalated, or empty. | | `data.false` | body | boolean | — | False says the activation turned out to be nothing. | | `data.filed` | body | string | — | Filed is when the report was written. | | `data.name` | body | string | — | Name is the incident's document name. | | `data.onsite` | body | string | — | Onsite is when it arrived. | | `data.opened` | body | string | — | Opened is when the activation landed. | | `data.outcome` | body | string | — | Outcome is what it came to. | | `data.ref` | body | string | — | Ref is the receiving centre's own reference. | | `data.secured` | body | string | — | Secured is when the site was made safe. | | `data.site` | body | string | — | Site is where it is happening. | | `data.sla` | body | integer (int64) | — | SLA is the contracted response time in minutes. | | `data.state` | body | string | — | State is one of received, verified, dispatched, enroute, onsite, checked, secured, filed and closed. | | `data.steps` | body | patrol.patrolAct\[] | — | Steps is the act trail, present on a single-incident read. | | `data.steps[].act` | body | string | — | Act is the act performed. | | `data.steps[].actor` | body | string | — | Actor is who performed it. | | `data.steps[].at` | body | string | — | At is when it happened. | | `data.steps[].detail` | body | string | — | Detail is what they wrote with it. | | `data.steps[].from` | body | string | — | From is the state the incident left. | | `data.steps[].to` | body | string | — | To is the state it landed in. | | `data.tier` | body | string | — | Tier is the site's contracted service tier. | | `data.trigger` | body | string | — | Trigger is what the panel reported. | | `data.unit` | body | string | — | Unit is the call sign attending, or empty. | | `data.verified` | body | string | — | Verified is when the activation was confirmed real. | | `data.zone` | body | string | — | Zone is the panel zone that reported. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo patrol incident step ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, PatrolApi } from 'hanzoai';
