# Request a human judgment (L3 layer) by attaching evidence — approval, evidence, or verdict. This is the ONLY door an agent has into the judgment queue.

`POST /api/mcp/tools/judgment_submit`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ainote.dev`
- URL: `https://api.ainote.dev/api/mcp/tools/judgment_submit`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Request a human judgment (L3 layer) by attaching evidence — approval, evidence, or verdict. This is the ONLY door an agent has into the judgment queue.

🔴 `decision` is REJECTED with an error if passed — judgments are always created with decision='pending'. Only a human decides them (from the /command queue). Use judgment_list afterwards to check whether this judgment has since been decided.

risk_tier controls urgency: 1=destructive (blocks execution until decided), 2=reversible (may auto-proceed after a wait window), 3=informational (auto-expires after 24h).

## Request body

- object
  - `kind` 'approval' | 'evidence' | 'verdict', required: approval | evidence | verdict.
  - `risk_tier` 1 | 2 | 3: 1=destructive 2=reversible 3=informational. Default: 2.
  - `summary` string, required: One sentence: what is being judged (required).
  - `evidence` object: Free-form evidence attached to the request — links, numbers, diff summaries.
  - `project_id` string: Optional project this judgment relates to.
  - `subject_type` 'Assumption' | 'Task': Optional. Pair with subject_id. Only Assumption or Task are allowed.
  - `subject_id` string: Optional. UUID of the Assumption or Task this judgment is about.

## Response `200`

    - `type` 'text' | 'resource'
    - `text` string

## Other responses
