Get statements

Reads whether one statement the platform signed about an agent still stands: live, expired, or revoked and when.

GET /v1/principal/statements/{id}

Principal → · All API references → · Get started →

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/principal/statements/{id}`
Method	`GET`
Operation	`get_principal_statements_by_id`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Reads whether one statement the platform signed about an agent still stands: live, expired, or revoked and when. Open to anyone — a verifier holding a TaxPrincipalCredential checks it here after checking its signature offline against GET /v1/principal/keys. The answer names nothing the statement itself does not.

Request

1 field.

Field	In	Type	Required	Description
`id`	path	string	yes	ID is the statement's jti, as its JWS carries it.

Response

Status	Body	Meaning
`200`	principal.Statement	ok
`default`	problem-details	refused

200 body — 10 fields.

Field	In	Type	Always	Description
`agent`	body	string	—	Agent is the agent it is about.
`expires`	body	integer (int64)	—	Expires is when it stops standing, unix seconds; zero for a W-9, which stands until the form changes.
`form`	body	string	—	Form is the class of tax form it rests on: w9, w8ben or w8bene.
`id`	body	string	—	ID is the statement's jti.
`issued`	body	integer (int64)	—	Issued is when it was signed, unix seconds.
`jws`	body	string	—	JWS is the signed statement itself — the credential an agent presents — answered only to the org it is about.
`kind`	body	string	—	Kind is what it states: tax.
`org`	body	string	—	Org is the principal the agent answers to.
`revoked`	body	integer (int64)	—	Revoked is when it was withdrawn, unix seconds; zero while it stands.
`status`	body	string	—	Status is live, expired or revoked.

Failure carries the platform error shape — see Errors.

MCP reaches principal through the principal tool, which names its 7 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

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": "list_principals"
         }
       }
     }'
