      summary: Vet a brand
      description: >-
        Requests an external vet of a registered brand from the US 10DLC
        registry. A successful vet can raise the brand's trust tier and, with
        it, the throughput carriers grant its campaigns. `type` defaults to
        `STANDARD`; any value other than `STANDARD`, `ENHANCED` or `POLITICAL`
        returns `400`. Every call files a new vetting request, so send it only
        when you intend to. The response is the registry's vetting record,
        returned as received; list past vets with `GET /10dlc/brands/{id}/vets`.
