Get candidate verification

get_candidate_verification Read a selected candidate check, immutable job observation, source-check usage and local-reference lineage. Candidate latest evidence may refer to a later explicitly requested check.

Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.

Access	Behavior
`discovery:read`, `watches:read`	Reads saved data

This read does not start a verification job.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_candidate_verification",
    "arguments": {
      "jobId": "job_example"
    }
  }
}

agentlinkops call get_candidate_verification --args '{"jobId":"job_example"}'

curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/get_candidate_verification" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jobId":"job_example"}'

Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`jobId`	string	Required	Identifier of the job returned by its create or list operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200

Validation and omitted values

The job observation remains tied to this verification. Candidate latest evidence can point to a later explicitly requested check.

Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. Common schema conventions explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

Errors and retries

The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See HTTP route details.
