## Description

Retrieves the status and details of a background check request by its GUID. Returns the overall request status (e.g. requested, in_progress, review, completed) and the status of each individual check within the request. Also returns document GUIDs for any candidate-uploaded files, which can be downloaded with **Download Candidate Document**. The request GUID is returned when you create a request with **Create Background Check Request**. Note: there is no search endpoint — you must know the request GUID. Save it when creating requests. [See the documentation](https://api.veremark.com/external/v1/docs/#tag/request/operation/retrieveRequest)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `requestGuid` | `string` | Yes | The unique GUID of the background check request. Returned when a request is created via Create Background Check Request. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "veremark",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "veremark-get-request",
  arguments: {
    requestGuid: "Request GUID",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "veremark-get-request",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    veremark: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    requestGuid: "Request GUID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
