# Create Risk Assessment

`POST /risk-assessment/assessments`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.kobaltlabs.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)

Create an assessment, resolve (or start) research, and dispatch the parent run.

so a Hatchet replay cannot spend tokens a second time.
