# Get candidate verification batch

> Read batch progress, individual job observations and reserved, consumed and released check units.

`get_candidate_verification_batch`

Read batch progress, individual job observations and reserved, consumed and released check units. Unknown observations do not establish absence.

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

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

This read does not start a verification job.

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json MCP theme={null}
  {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_candidate_verification_batch",
      "arguments": {
        "batchId": "batch_example"
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  agentlinkops call get_candidate_verification_batch --args '{"batchId":"batch_example"}'
  ```

  ```bash HTTP theme={null}
  curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/get_candidate_verification_batch" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_API_KEY" \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"batchId":"batch_example"}'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 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.

## Response formats

`format` selects the row shape. `detailed` is the example above: every field. `concise` keeps, per row: `ordinal`, `candidate_id`, `local_reference`, `job_id`, `watch_id`, `state`, `error_code`, `observation`, `usage`; every top-level field (cursors, counts, coverage, metadata) is kept in both. The observation state an unknown-versus-absent decision depends on is never dropped. MCP and code mode default to concise; the CLI and HTTP default to detailed; the response names the default it applied in `defaults_applied`.

## 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                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| --------- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `batchId` | string | Required | Identifier of the batch returned by its create or list operation. pattern: "^\[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]\{1,128}\$"                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `format`  | string | Optional | Response shape: concise keeps the fields needed to decide and to call next (the evidence state always included); detailed returns every field. MCP and code mode default to concise; REST and the CLI to detailed. The response names the default it applied in defaults\_applied. values: "concise", "detailed" |

### Validation and omitted values

Inspect per-item state, observation and reservation totals even when the aggregate batch is completed or partial.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

* **`schema_version`** (number, required): must equal 1
* **`id`** (string, required): Resource identifier returned by the operation.
* **`workspace_id`** (string, required): Workspace that owns this record.
* **`project_id`** (string, required): Project that owns this record.
* **`run_id`** (string, required): Identifier returned by the related operation.
* **`state`** (string, required): Saved lifecycle or evidence state, as enumerated for this record. values: "pending", "completed", "partial", "failed"
* **`counts`** (object, required): additional fields rejected
* **`items`** (array, required): Records in this bounded page. minItems: 1; maxItems: 50
* **`reservation`** (object / null, required).
* **`replayed`** (boolean, optional): True when the response reuses an earlier request with the same idempotency value.
* **`recurring_monitoring_created`** (boolean, required): Whether this operation enrolled recurring monitoring. must equal false
* **`created_at`** (string, required): UTC timestamp when the record was created.

## 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](/reference/errors) 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](/reference/http/routes).
