Lightbringer

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

get_company_context_template

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.

get_credits

Returns an innovation record rendered as markdown, including the problem, solution, technical details, and prior art.

get_innovation

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.

get_innovation_template

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.

get_review

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

get_strategy_template

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.

import_patent

Lists the current user’s unexpired automated tasks in the connected organisation, optionally for an innovation. Recovers task IDs after a lost response or conversation. Returns recorded status summaries without polling upstream analyses. Tasks and findings expire 30 days after creation. Pagination can return an empty page with a continuation cursor. Professional service requests are separate.

list_tasks

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.

list_innovations

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.

list_reviews

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.

list_strategies

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.

set_strategy_publication

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.

get_company_context

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.

get_strategy

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.

refresh_patent_family

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.

register_innovation

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.

reply_to_comment

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.

request_patent_preparation

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.

respond_to_review

Searches the Lightbringer organisation's documents (inventions, patent applications, and reports and Strategies) and meetings. The "meeting" category filters by title, reference, or indexed transcript/canvas text. Meeting result IDs resolve through fetch to canvas and transcript text. 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.

search

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.

search_public_patents

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.

send_developer_feedback

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.

set_validation_countries

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.

start_innovation_feedback

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.

update_asset

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.

update_company_context

Updates one or more sections of an existing innovation record with new content and reports, per section, whether it was applied. Overwrites the specified sections. 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) and any comment threads whose text the write removed (detached_threads).

update_innovation

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.
