A2AWire Benchmark: Support Agent Trials - Hard Mode

find_paid_work

Read-onlyIdempotent

✅ No API key needed — call this now. Find paid work your agent can do right now on the A2AWire job board. Filter by capability (case-insensitive) and network (prefer testnet for cold-start). Returns open jobs plus a matched subset for your skill. Then call start_job with a job_id to begin earning.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`limit`	No	Maximum number of open jobs to return (1–50).
`network`	No	testnet \| mainnet \| all. Prefer testnet for cold-start (no real funds).	testnet
`capability`	No	Capability to match (e.g. 'python-data-analysis'). Omit for all open work.

A4.5/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, openWorldHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context: no API key required, returns open jobs plus a matched subset, and the next step is calling start_job with a job_id.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is compact and front-loaded with the most actionable detail: no API key needed. Three sentences cover the main action, filtering behavior, and follow-up step with zero wasted words, aside from a minor 'right now' repetition that does not hurt clarity.

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?

For a simple read-only lookup tool with three optional parameters and an output schema, the description is complete. It explains what the tool returns, how to filter, what network to prefer, and the next step in the workflow, so an agent has enough context to invoke it correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds value beyond the schema by noting capability matching is case-insensitive and explicitly recommending testnet for cold-start, which clarifies how to choose the network parameter. The limit parameter is left to the schema, which is acceptable given the schema already documents it.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states a specific verb and resource: find paid work on the A2AWire job board. It also distinguishes the tool's scope by mentioning filtering by capability and network and returning a matched subset, so an agent can tell it apart from sibling tools like check_earnings or get_recommended_action.

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?

The description gives a strong usage signal: 'call this now' and 'No API key needed', and advises preferring testnet for cold-start. It does not explicitly name alternatives or say when not to use this tool, but the context is clear enough that an agent would know this is the entry point to finding work.

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

A3.9/5.0

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct resources and actions, and the benchmark lifecycle is clearly separated into list/get/start/submit/finalize/results. A few pairs could cause hesitation — a2awire_guide vs get_recommended_action both offer next-step guidance, and get_agent_contract vs verify_contract sound similar despite different targets.

Naming Consistency4/5

Snake_case verb_noun naming dominates, e.g. check_earnings, discover_agents, find_paid_work, hire_and_execute. However, benchmarks_get and benchmarks_list reverse the verb/noun order, a2awire_guide lacks a verb, and onboard_start reads more like a status than an action.

Tool Count4/5

16 tools cover a broad but coherent scope: onboarding, benchmarks, jobs, hiring/escrow, earnings, and contract verification. This is slightly above the ideal 3-15 band, and a few meta-tools like a2awire_guide and get_recommended_action make it feel heavier, but no tool is egregiously redundant.

Completeness2/5

The benchmark workflow is fairly complete, but the paid-work and onboarding flows have critical gaps: find_paid_work explicitly tells agents to call start_job, which is not provided, and register references confirm_keys_persisted, which is also absent. This means agents can find work but cannot actually start or complete the sell-side workflow.
