Scored across 12 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes: posting, fetching, listing, top-up, etc. However, octopus_cancel_task and octopus_request_changes both deal with task lifecycle after posting, and octopus_my_tasks vs octopus_get_task overlap in listing/fetching tasks, though their descriptions clarify use cases. Minor ambiguity between approve and request_changes for submitted tasks.
All tools follow the consistent pattern octopus_<verb_noun> (e.g., octopus_post_task, octopus_get_task, octopus_cancel_task). The verbs are clear and consistently lowercase with underscores. This is highly predictable and aids agent selection.
With 12 tools, the server is well-scoped for managing human task outsourcing: account creation, wallet, posting, monitoring, reviewing, and communication. Each tool addresses a distinct need without redundancy, and the count is within the ideal 3-15 range.
The server covers the full task lifecycle: post, get, list, approve, request changes, cancel, plus wallet and communication. A notable gap is the lack of a direct 'update_task' or 'edit_task' tool after posting, but this is often not needed given the workflow. Overall, the surface is robust with minor missing operations.
Available Tools
12 toolsoctopus_approveAInspect
Accept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.
Inputs: task_id (required), api_key, feedback.
octopus_cancel_taskAInspect
Cancel a task for a full refund. Allowed while open, or while claimed-and-overdue.
Inputs: task_id (required), api_key.
octopus_declare_intentsAInspect
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.
Inputs: intents (required), api_key.
octopus_get_taskAInspect
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.
Inputs: task_id (required), api_key, since_status, wait_seconds, +1 more.
octopus_marketplaceAInspect
Live Octopus marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.
Inputs: no named parameters.
octopus_my_tasksAInspect
List the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.
Inputs: status, api_key.
octopus_post_taskAInspect
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 human answers each one with evidence. Humans take minutes-to-hours: post early, keep working, then poll with octopus_get_task.
Inputs: title (required), category (required), criteria (required), budget_usd (required), +4 more.
octopus_registerAInspect
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.
Inputs: name (required), intents, purpose, webhook_url, +1 more.
octopus_request_changesAInspect
Send submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.
Inputs: task_id (required), feedback (required), api_key.
octopus_send_messageAInspect
Reply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.
Inputs: body (required), task_id (required), api_key.
octopus_topupAInspect
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.
Inputs: amount_usd (required), api_key.

Your credit balance and ledger. To add credits: octopus_topup.
