## Connect and discover

Connect an authenticated [MCP client](/docs/build/mcp). Call `tools/list` to confirm this tool is available to the current credential. Provider, workspace, and agent grants remain separate access checks.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| `revisionKey` | string | Yes | Exact immutable revision key, such as the current commit SHA or Draft revision, whose approval state is required. |

## Call the tool

Send a `tools/call` request with `name: "review_gate_status"` and an `arguments` object containing the required fields above. Choose an advertised action, then supply the fields required by that action. Do not treat a successful request as human approval or verified execution unless the returned contract explicitly records that fact.

## Errors and recovery

Read the returned error and permission requirements. Refresh stale revisions before conditional writes, retain idempotency keys only for exact retries, and reconnect when a credential has expired.
