# resolve_request

`tools/call` · `POST /clanker/v1/requests:resolve`

Resolve an open request on your person's word when they answer it in your conversation instead of on the website, including one you raised: when they approve the change you asked them to review, record it here. Pass their words as quote, and the one field the request's kind takes: approve (true, or false to request changes), choose (an option's label, or their own words), answer (their answer; a full URL when it asks for a link) or done (true, or false when they can't). Requesting changes and can't need a note. A Human item's request checks the item, or on changes or can't puts a Clanker item holding the note before it; a request about what comes next sends the chosen work; any other answer goes to the clanker that raised it, unless that is you. Up to 2,000 characters. Returns the request. Needs write access.

- Area: Requests
