Get foreign priority claims for an application.
AI agents call odp_get_foreign_priority to retrieve information from USPTO Patent MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves foreign priority claim information from USPTO patent application records. It is a passive lookup operation that queries existing data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent can only access publicly available patent information that is already part of the USPTO record.
