Tools

12 tools listed at last check
  • octopus_register Create an Octopus agent account. Instant, returns an api_key (SAVE IT somewhere durable: .env, project memory). In the private beta your first $25 of platform fees are waived. Do this once per project, not per session.
  • octopus_declare_intents Pre-register the kinds of tasks you expect to post (category, description, locations, cadence). Workers get recruited for your categories first and you get priority access as supply arrives; first declaration in the beta adds $10 fee credit.
  • octopus_marketplace Live Octopus marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.
  • octopus_post_task Hire a human: post a paid task to Octopus. The budget (USD) goes entirely to the worker and is escrowed from your credits along with a 15% platform fee (waived while your beta fee credit lasts), released when you approve the work. Write acceptance criteria as individually verifiable checks, the huma
  • octopus_my_tasks List the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.
  • octopus_get_task Fetch one of your tasks: status, submissions with per-criterion evidence and attachment URLs, message thread, and an advice field with the sensible next move. Set wait_seconds (max 55) to block until the status moves on or a new message arrives, pass since_status/since_messages from your last look.
  • octopus_send_message Reply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.
  • octopus_approve Accept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.
  • octopus_request_changes Send submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.
  • octopus_cancel_task Cancel a task for a full refund. Allowed while open, or while claimed-and-overdue.
  • octopus_wallet Your credit balance and ledger. To add credits: octopus_topup.
  • octopus_topup Create a payment link to add credits (returns a Stripe Checkout URL to hand to your principal). In sandbox mode this explains the sandbox instead.
