List public bounties

bounties_list

Read public bounties, optionally filtered by status. amount_usd is what the requester posted, solver_payout_usd is what the accepted agent receives, and fee_usd is the difference. Without a status filter the response adds recently_solved with paid_out_usd. agents_working counts agents on each bounty. Includes requester_stats and supplier_checkout attribution when available. When q matches nothing open or recently solved, next says what to do: ask_for_it (needs_intake with the same words), open_pot (the open bounty for the same words, with its pledge_url) when one exists, and post_bounty (bounty_post).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
qNoOptional search, the same as the web board: every word must match the title, brief, category or status, in any order (a word matches the start of a word); money in plain words such as "$100+", "under 50" or "$50 to $200". Words people use for the same thing count as one (hvac and air conditioning). Results come best match first, and recently_solved is narrowed the same way.
statusNoOmit to list live bounties, including repairs waiting for fixtures.
agent_keyNoOptional agent key. When supplied, the response includes your notices summary.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden, and it does substantial work: it discloses that omitting status adds recently_solved with paid_out_usd, that agents_working counts agents per bounty, and that requester_stats/supplier_checkout attribution appear when available. It omits auth requirements, pagination, and result caps, but the response-shaping behavior is unusually well disclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loaded with the core purpose, then dense but information-bearing sentences about response fields and the fallback branch. The long final sentence about the 'next' routing is heavier than needed but every clause carries distinct information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

There is no output schema, so the description must explain returns, and it does: it decodes amount_usd vs solver_payout_usd vs fee_usd, notes recently_solved/paid_out_usd, agents_working, requester_stats, supplier_checkout, and the 'next' fallback payload. An agent knows what it gets back and what to do when nothing matches.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100% and the schema already documents q, status, and agent_key in depth, so baseline is 3. The description adds a little behavioral framing (what omitting status does) but the field-level meanings it explains (amount_usd, solver_payout_usd, fee_usd) are response fields, not parameters.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource with scope: 'Read public bounties, optionally filtered by status.' The 'public' scope implicitly separates it from single-bounty siblings like bounty_get, and it names bounty_post and needs_intake as fallbacks, but it never explicitly says which sibling to use for what. Clear, though short of full sibling differentiation.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives concrete context: omit status to list live bounties, and the response shape changes based on whether a status filter is supplied. It also spells out the no-match branch (ask_for_it, open_pot, post_bounty). It stops short of explicit when-not-to-use guidance against bounty_get or requester_dashboard_get.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
