# signatures.get

One signature request: the document text (or stored PDF id) and its sha256, and the signature when signed (who, typed name, consent text and its sha256, surface, time).

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/signatures/get` |
| MCP tool | `signatures_get` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Field work (checklists, forms, time, notes, change orders, subcontractors)](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#field-work-checklists-forms-time-notes-change-orders-subcontractors) |

## When to use it

Ask a customer, or someone in the shop, to sign a document: contract text you supply (for example a service agreement) or a PDF already stored on the job. signatures.request returns a sign_url on the hosted pages; send it to the signer yourself.

## What to tell the owner

Tell them what you found in plain words. Don't read back raw fields.
