# Resolve a discovered competitor identity

> Workspace-scoped app capability through the customer API. MCP requires the matching prompts or competitors permission. Competitor writes require current admin permission. Personal review sessions additionally require user-authorized OAuth and are unavailable to workspace service keys. Identity decisions verify the discovered candidate revision and replay by UUID. Review applications report per-item outcomes; inspect conflicts before continuing.
