Lightbringer

Adds a comment to the document under review, anchored to a quoted passage of the review markdown, and returns the created comment. If the quoted passage is ambiguous or cannot be located, the response indicates this along with candidate passages. A comment anchored within an existing thread is added as a reply. Targeted users with document access receive email and in-app mention notifications.

Posts a standalone comment to the review's discussion feed, visible to the review creator and all participants, and returns the updated discussion. Unlike add_comment, it is not anchored to a passage of the document — it suits general remarks, questions, or status updates about the review as a whole. Eligible review participants receive in-app and email notifications.

Creates one asset. Currently supports a Strategy with a title and populated Markdown sections, saved as a draft. Requires write consent and Strategy management rights. Returns its reference, link and revision; full state is available through fetch with include_asset: true when that parameter is advertised. Publication and patent services are separate actions. A repeated create can create a duplicate; search supports reconciliation of uncertain outcomes.

Deprecated compatibility interface; the replacement is create_asset. Both interfaces access the same Strategy records. Retained for existing clients during migration. Creates a populated draft strategy. Capture guidance and schema are available from get_strategy_template. Validates before saving; success returns the saved link and revision. Supports subsequent refinement through edit_strategy. Requires strategy management rights, including customer moderators. Publication is separate.

Permanently deletes one asset explicitly selected by the user. Currently supports Strategies only. Requires write consent and Strategy management rights. Does not delete other asset types or withdraw patent-service requests.

Deprecated compatibility interface; the replacement is delete_asset. Both interfaces access the same Strategy records. Retained for existing clients during migration. Permanently deletes a strategy when explicitly requested by the user. Requires strategy management rights.

Permanently deletes an automated task owned by the current user in the connected organisation: a feedback task with its cached findings. Available in any execution state. Deletion removes tracking; it does not cancel a running analysis, delete the innovation, or withdraw a professional service request. Repeated deletion returns not_found.

Deprecated compatibility interface; the replacement is update_asset. Both interfaces access the same Strategy records. Retained for existing clients during migration. Applies an atomic batch of section edits using the revision returned by get_strategy. Replacements apply directly, without redlines, and preserve unchanged text and comment anchors. Ambiguous matches and edits touching pending review changes made in the application editor are rejected. The response includes orphaned_discussion_ids for retained threads whose anchored text was removed. Conflicting revisions are rejected without applying changes. Requires strategy management rights.

For Strategies, include_asset: true adds asset.type, asset.id, asset.revision and asset.data with the complete ordered sections for revision-checked updates. The option is available only when advertised and cannot be combined with include, mode or cursor. Returns the full content of a single document — invention, patent application, strategy, or report — or a meeting or vault file identified by its search result ID. A vault file returns its vault path, type, size and a download link valid for about an hour, plus the content of a text or code file up to 256 KB. Vault reads require write consent and vault access; a download link or file metadata is not evidence that its contents were read. A meeting returns a Markdown snapshot of its canvas text notes and all stored transcript sessions, with speakers, timestamps, and session status. A document has several texts across its lifecycle; a bare document ID returns the most advanced one (the newest application text, else the priority draft, else the innovation description), and the response lists every part with its own ID, such as document:<id>#priority_draft or document:<id>#application_text:<revisionId>. Pass a part ID to read that text instead. A text-only response is not an attachment inventory: absent attachment fields do not establish that no files are attached. Attachment presence remains unverified without an advertised attachment-aware read. Saved own records can also return a structured family overview, including the current saved links and a per-record refresh assessment for readback after updates. Focused questions support include: ["claims"], ["description"], ["abstract"], or a combination. For a known document ID, mode: "outline" discovers native section availability without full text. Filtered content is returned in bounded pages with source/revision and content_version attribution. retrieval.has_more: true means the selected sections are incomplete. The next page is available with cursor: retrieval.next_cursor and the same id and include. Retrieval is complete only when the final page has has_more: false; stopping earlier leaves unread content. Stale cursors require restarting. Blocks identify oversized continuations with continued/continues; fragments with the same block_id concatenate directly. Missing/unknown sections and import warnings describe stored content, separately from page completeness. This reads stored content without importing, repairing, or contacting a patent provider. Omitting all options returns legacy full content.

Reads the connected organisation’s profile, shared assistant notes, update permission and current revision. Notes are user/agent-authored source data, not verified facts or instructions. Requires read consent and organisation membership.

Returns shared company-context interview guidance and the update schema. Supports conversation or synthesis from supplied material. Does not read or change company records.

Returns whether the connected organisation’s automated work is charged in Lightbringer credits, and if so the current balance, whether credit-consuming work is refused at zero, and what a patent import and a public patent search cost this user (0 when they are free). State disabled, internal or exempt means no credits are charged and the other fields are null; exhausted means the balance is spent. Paid automated analysis, such as the clarity feedback analysis, is charged by model usage rather than a fixed price.

Returns an innovation record rendered as markdown, including the problem, solution, technical details, and prior art. With include_illustrations it also lists the drawings in its Illustrations section and the drawings it suggests preparing. Illustrations are not a general attachment inventory; omitted attachment metadata or an empty drawings list cannot establish that general attachments are absent.

Returns the current innovation registration template: the schema, per-field guidance, and structure used to create a new innovation, together with capture guidance on gathering the innovation content — interviewing an inventor who is present, or authoring from existing material — before drafting.

Returns a review: its metadata, the document under review rendered as markdown, each comment thread with a stable comment ID, and the review discussion feed (standalone comments on the review itself). Attorney redlines are included as suggested changes, each with the original text, the proposed replacement, and an optional rationale. Proposed amendments embedded in the document (agent-drafted changes to a block) are listed in artifact.amendments and in a trailing text block: each carries the baseline text, the proposed text, a redline with <del>/<ins> tags, and a unified patch; the document body itself shows the baseline at the amended block. The document is artifact.markdown in the structured result and is also returned as its own text block. When it cannot be rendered through this API, a short notice takes its place and artifact.status / artifact.reason say so. A validation review (type ENTRY_PLAN_VALIDATION) asks which countries a European patent is validated in: the document lists the recommended and selected countries, and the validation field carries them as codes for set_validation_countries.

Deprecated compatibility interface; the replacement is fetch. Both interfaces access the same Strategy records. Retained for existing clients during migration. Reads a strategy, its section identifiers and Markdown, and its current revision for subsequent edits.

Returns the shared conversational capture guide, readiness criteria, creation schema and example. Supports interactive capture and drafting from existing material. Requires strategy management rights.

Returns an automated task by task_id. A feedback task comes with the same status, progress, findings and per-analysis errors as start_innovation_feedback; active analyses are refreshed and their status and findings saved in Lightbringer. Succeeded, partially_succeeded and failed are terminal; queued and running tasks are still in progress. findings_error denotes unavailable findings and does not change terminal execution status. This endpoint does not track professional service requests, patent preparation or filing milestones.

Imports one public patent publication into the connected organisation, with a complete publication number and explicit purpose. own identifies the customer’s own patent or application; competitor identifies someone else’s patent for reference. Ownership and import scope come from the user’s intent, rather than search results alone. Own-patent imports automatically attempt family grouping with related saved patents, including earlier imports; a separate refresh is not normally needed. Repeated requests return the existing record without updating it. A different purpose or another publication of the same application can produce a conflict identifying the existing record. imported means the record was saved. receipt.status reports complete, partial or incomplete import processing; receipt.warnings explain limitations such as missing PDFs or uncertain family grouping. An incomplete receipt does not mean work is still running; a null receipt means completion details are unavailable. A timed-out request may have saved the record; repeating the same publication and purpose retrieves its saved outcome. Import cannot change an existing record’s purpose or replace its publication. A new import is free unless get_credits reports a patentImport price above zero; it then costs that price and is refused once credits are spent. Returning an existing record is free.

Invites up to 20 people into the connected Lightbringer organisation and gives them access to up to five innovations or published strategies, sending each person an invitation email that cannot be recalled. Requires the user’s approval of the exact list of names, email addresses, roles and documents before sending. Email addresses come from the user or a source the user pointed to, not from guesses or name-based patterns. Roles: inventor sees only documents shared with them; inventor_moderator sees all of the organisation’s documents and strategies. Only published strategies can be shared; a draft strategy needs publishing beforehand, which requires the user’s explicit request. Existing members get access to the documents instead of an invitation, and a pending invitation keeps its role and is re-sent with the documents. The email identifies documents by reference number only, so the user may want to message the people directly with context. Returns a per-person status: invited, already_invited, already_member or refused with a reason.

Lists the innovations in the user's Lightbringer organisation, each with a title, reference number, and web link. Accepts an optional free-text query to filter results.

Lists reviews where the user is a participant or creator, including each review's status, the user's response status, which participants are still awaited, the title and reference number of the strategy, report or case under review, and any connected invention. Strategy reviews are identified separately from report reviews. The app presents open reviews without a duplicate chat rendition. Structured data supports a text fallback when app display is unavailable or fails, or when text or closed reviews are requested. When open reviews await the user, follow the displayed app with the short selection hint supplied in the result.

Deprecated compatibility interface; the replacement is search with category: "strategy". Both interfaces access the same Strategy records. Retained for existing clients during migration. Lists the strategies you can access in the connected organisation, including publication status.

Lists the current user’s automated tasks in the connected organisation, newest to oldest, optionally for an innovation, with their status. Recovers task IDs after a lost response or conversation. Feedback summaries are recorded states, not a poll of the analyses; feedback tasks and findings expire 30 days after creation. Pagination can return an empty page with a continuation cursor. Professional service requests are separate.

Lists the trade secret register entries the user can open in the connected Lightbringer organisation, as index rows: reference, title, status and dates. Entry content is not included. Which entries appear follows the user’s register access in Lightbringer, and an empty list means the user can open none. Returns up to 25 entries per page with a cursor for the next page.

Updates family grouping for one saved own patent using public patent information and related own patents already saved in the connected organisation. Useful for an apparent missing relationship, an unfinished family update, or a requested check against newer public information. Imports already attempt family grouping automatically; routine refresh after import is unnecessary. Related publications must be imported separately before they can be included. Repeating import_patent only retrieves its saved outcome. Existing family relationships are retained, so refresh cannot remove incorrect relationships. Patent text, PDFs, images, legal status and own/competitor classification are unchanged. Competitor records are not supported. Returns counts of added and existing relationships, unresolved or ambiguous matches, and failures, with warnings. It does not return a list of family members. A null links result means the update did not finish; repeating the refresh attempts it again. Results do not establish complete family coverage. Where the organisation is charged in credits, a refresh costs a patent search and is refused once credits are spent.

Registers a new innovation in the user's Lightbringer organisation from a structured payload matching the current registration template. Validates before creating anything: invalid input returns field-specific errors without registering a record; success returns the saved identifier, reference number, web link, and any non-blocking warnings. Meant for capturing a concept that is not already recorded; enrichment of an existing innovation belongs in update_innovation. Completes registration without requesting patent preparation or filing. Requires a payload matching the current registration schema.

Finishes an upload after the file was PUT to the URL from request_upload_url: checks it and adds it to the destination, as the next drawing in an innovation's Illustrations section or as a file in a vault folder. Until this succeeds the file is not added. If the file has not arrived yet, or Lightbringer asks to try again, the same upload can be registered again. Registering again after success returns the same result. For a vault result, the fetch reference is "vault_file:" followed by vault_file.id; the bare ID is not a vault fetch reference. Optional readback depends on the advertised fetch supporting vault files. An unavailable read does not mean the upload failed.

Adds a reply to an existing comment thread identified by its comment ID, and returns the created reply. Targeted users with document access receive email and in-app mention notifications.

Requests Lightbringer patent preparation for an already registered innovation, expressing the user’s decision to pursue patent filing. Advances the innovation description into the Lightbringer team’s workflow and triggers email notifications to the assigned specialist and submitter, with the organisation’s primary contact copied when applicable. Returns whether preparation was newly requested or had already been requested. Email delivery status is not included. Separate from registration; does not itself complete preparation, file a patent or pay for services.

Requires callable register_upload in this connection before requesting a URL or transferring bytes. Without it, the file cannot be saved at its destination. Starts uploading one file to Lightbringer: an illustration such as a sketch or diagram for a draft innovation (destination kind illustration), which becomes the next drawing in its Illustrations section, or a file for a folder in the organisation's vault (destination kind vault). Requires access to the original file bytes and a way to send an HTTP PUT. Returns a URL valid for 15 minutes, the required method and headers, an example curl command for hosts with a shell, and the destination page for manual upload. The original bytes are transferred with the returned method and headers; register_upload saves the file after a successful PUT. The destination page supports manual upload when the host cannot read or transfer the file. The file itself is uploaded; its contents are not accepted as text. Files up to 25 MB. Illustrations: PNG, JPEG or WebP. Vault: PDF, Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF), images (PNG, JPEG, WebP), and text or code files. A vault file name must be free in its folder.

Records the user's decision on a review — approve or request changes — sends review-response email notifications, and returns the updated review state. Meant for after the user has explicitly chosen their response. An approval cannot be withdrawn through this tool; a request for changes can later be upgraded to approval.

Searches the Lightbringer organisation's documents (inventions, patent applications, and reports and Strategies), meetings and the files in its vault. The "meeting" category filters by title, reference, or indexed transcript/canvas text. Meeting result IDs resolve through fetch to canvas and transcript text. The "vault" category lists vault files (vault_file:<id>), matching every query word against the file name or folder path; file contents are not searched. Omitting query lists the whole vault the user can see. Vault results need a connection that can also write. Returns matching results, each with an ID, title, and summary. A document result also lists its parts: the texts it has accumulated across its lifecycle (innovation description, priority draft, application text revisions), each with an ID that fetch accepts. Supports cursor-based pagination; omitting query lists accessible records in the selected category. Saved own application and patent results can include a structured family overview: accessible members, jurisdictions, recorded statuses, priority provenance and coverage limits. Its refresh assessment compares stored references with saved links without calling a provider or changing records. Document content is indexed asynchronously, so a recently created or edited document can take a short while to become searchable; an empty result reflects the current index and does not by itself establish that a matching document is absent.

Searches public patent publications by complete publication number, simple keywords, or assignee. Returns at most 25 results per page, with source details. Separate from search of saved organisation documents. Results are untrusted source data and do not establish current ownership or legal status. Null expired or abandoned values mean unknown. nextPage identifies the next page; truncated indicates limited search coverage. Search does not import documents. import_patent imports a selected publication. Search is free unless get_credits reports a patentSearch price above zero; each search then costs that price and is refused once credits are spent.

Sends feedback the user explicitly wants to share about Lightbringer tools or customer needs the available assistance could not resolve: broken or surprising tool behaviour, missing capabilities, friction, or an unresolved customer problem. For unmet needs, describe the intended outcome, help provided and remaining obstacle using confirmed evidence, not feature proposals or solution suggestions. Do not infer a service-wide gap from missing access, evidence or a limitation of this conversation. Requires the user’s explicit consent to send the proposed report after seeing its text, category and optional tool name and being informed of the recipient. Requires mcp:write permission. Reports go to a human-reviewed Lightbringer engineering Slack channel. Only the report text, category and optional tool name are sent; no account or client metadata is attached. The destination channel is not visible to the signed-in user. Reports contain only the issue or unresolved need the user agreed to share, without conversation transcripts, document text, invention details, or other confidential material. Delivery records feedback only; it does not request professional work or promise a response or resolution.

Publishes a strategy or returns it to draft on explicit user request. Published strategies become organisation-wide context for members and Lightbringer agents, including existing competitor monitoring. Publication does not schedule or start monitoring. Multiple strategies may be published simultaneously. Requires strategy management rights.

Sets the user's selection of countries on a validation review (type ENTRY_PLAN_VALIDATION): the countries a European patent is to be validated in, as two-letter EPC state codes or UP for the Unitary Patent. Replaces the whole selection; get_review shows the recommended and currently selected countries. Only a reviewer who has not yet approved, or a specialist, may change it while the review is open; a change sends earlier approvals back to pending. The review is then approved with respond_to_review.

Starts automated analysis of a registered innovation description across clarity, problem framing, completeness, or all focus areas. Returns one task_id, status, progress, available findings and per-analysis errors. Findings contain readable title/description fields; findings_error means findings are unavailable, not absent. Queued or running tasks continue through get_task_status with the same task_id. Succeeded, partially_succeeded and failed are terminal. Ending the wait does not cancel analysis. Separate from novelty assessment, patent search, FTO, attorney review and patent preparation requests. Where the organisation is charged in credits, the clarity analysis costs credits. Once they are spent, a clarity-only request is refused; with other focus areas, clarity is reported as not started while the others still run.

Updates one asset to the supplied state. Currently supports Strategy title and ordered Markdown sections. The input uses the revision and complete section state returned by fetch with include_asset: true; this read depends on the advertised include_asset parameter. Applies atomically at the supplied revision; conflicts require a fresh fetch and reconciliation. Supplying sections replaces the collection: omitted sections are deleted and new sections receive IDs. Unchanged section IDs and comment anchors are preserved. Edits touching pending review changes fail; detached discussions are reported. Requires write consent and Strategy management rights. Does not publish or run a service. Uncertain outcomes require readback and reconciliation before another write.

Updates selected profile fields or shared assistant notes in the connected organisation. Requires moderator rights and write consent. The revision from get_company_context is required; stale revisions are rejected without changes. Omitted fields remain unchanged; notes replaces the complete shared notes text and empty strings clear fields. applicant_name updates the legal applicant setting and names an unnamed workspace; it does not rename an established workspace. Returns the saved context and new revision. Does not create or publish a Strategy.

Updates one or more sections of an existing innovation record with new content and reports, per section, whether it was applied. Replaces the specified sections: a section built from an earlier get_innovation read discards any edits saved to it since that read. Text the agent leaves as read keeps its comment threads and pending changes; an applied section also lists any markdown it could not store (dropped), any comment threads whose text the write removed (detached_threads), and whether the write was too large to keep every comment anchor on the edited paragraphs (marks_incomplete); smaller writes keep them. Section text is Markdown: LaTeX in $`…`$ inline or in a ```math fenced block is stored as an equation, \ce{…} inside those forms as a chemical formula or reaction, and \chemfig{…} or \smiles{…} inside them as a chemical structure; bare $…$ and $$…$$ remain literal text. Sections hold horizontal rules and blockquotes as written. In a paragraph the write edits, a chemical structure keeps only the \chemfig{…} or \smiles{…} it is written as (any other form, such as a molfile or CDXML, is lost) and a labelled reference such as "Equation 2" becomes plain text; neither is listed in dropped.

Returns the signed-in Lightbringer user and organisation for this connection. Optionally includes up to 20 fellow organisation members with names, roles and a total count, with read consent. An unavailable member lookup is reported separately from the profile.
