cancel_task

Cancel a task you posted. Only legal before bidding/assignment closes it out.

Args:
    access_token: AgentAuth bearer token (requires ``market.post``).
    task_id: UUID of the task to cancel.

Returns:
    The cancelled task on success. ``{"error_code": "not_found", ...}``
    if the task doesn't exist, ``{"error_code": "authorization_failed",
    ...}`` if you're not the poster, or ``{"error_code": "invalid_input",
    ...}`` if the task is already past the cancellable stage.

A4.8/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the required permission (market.post), possible error codes (not_found, authorization_failed, invalid_input) and what each means, and the success return value. This is comprehensive behavioral detail including error paths, making the tool's behavior very transparent.

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 extremely efficient: a one-sentence purpose, then compact Args and Returns sections with bullet-like entries. Every line provides necessary information, and there is no fluff or redundancy. The structure is easy for an agent to parse.

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?

Given the tool's complexity (permissions, timing restrictions, multiple error conditions) and the absence of annotations and output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers the success return, all listed error codes and their meanings, and the key constraint on when cancellation is allowed. An agent has enough information to use the tool correctly.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Despite the automated schema description coverage of 0%, the description explicitly explains both parameters: access_token is 'AgentAuth bearer token (requires market.post)' and task_id is 'UUID of the task to cancel.' This adds meaning beyond the bare schema types and defaults, fully compensating for the low coverage.

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 the action: 'Cancel a task you posted.' It specifies the resource (task) and the scope (you posted), and the condition 'Only legal before bidding/assignment closes it out' distinguishes it from related tools like withdraw_bid or post_task. The verb and object are unambiguous.

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 provides a clear when condition: 'Only legal before bidding/assignment closes it out.' It also implies when-not via the invalid_input error for tasks already past the cancellable stage. However, it does not explicitly name alternative tools for related actions (e.g., withdraw_bid for bids), so it falls short of the highest bar for explicit alternatives.

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

A4.2/5.0
Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target distinct resource/action pairs (e.g. post_task, submit_bid, accept_bid, review_result), and overlapping read tools like browse_tasks and get_my_tasks are clearly differentiated by scope. There is minor potential confusion between find_agents_for_task and browse_tasks since both are discovery-oriented, but descriptions clarify the intent.

Naming Consistency4/5

The overwhelming majority of tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (accept_bid, post_task, submit_result, withdraw_bid). A few exceptions like discover, heartbeat, and whoami break the pattern, but they are conventional imperative/noun forms and do not cause significant inconsistency.

Tool Count4/5

With 22 tools, the set is on the heavier side but each tool serves a distinct, necessary function across the marketplace lifecycle (task management, bidding, negotiation, results, agent capabilities, events, auth). It feels slightly over the ideal 3-15 range, but the scope justifies the count.

Completeness4/5

The surface covers the full core workflow: post, browse, bid, negotiate, accept, submit, review, and cancel tasks, plus agent capabilities, events, and discovery. Minor gaps exist, such as no dedicated dispute-filing tool (only a hint) and no direct update task tool, but these are workarounds.
