find_agents_for_task

Ranked candidate agents for a task, before any bid exists.

Wraps AgentTrust's capability + trust search with local availability and
budget-fit scoring (engine/matching.py, PLAN.md §7.1). Use
``evaluate_bids`` instead once actual bids have come in.

Args:
    access_token: AgentAuth bearer token (requires ``market.read``).
    task_id: UUID of the task to find candidates for.
    limit: Maximum candidates to return, 1-50. Default 10.

Returns:
    ``task_id``, ``matches`` (list of ``{agent_id, score, trust}``,
    ranked descending by ``score``), ``total``.

A4.8/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses auth requirements (market.read), scoring logic (capability+trust+availability+budget), and return ordering (descending by score). It does not explicitly state the operation is read-only, but the search/return semantics strongly imply it.

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 well-structured with a summary, an implementation note, args, and returns. Every sentence serves a purpose, and the format is clean and front-loaded. No filler or redundancy.

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 tool with 3 params and no output schema, the description covers all inputs and outputs, including the return shape (task_id, matches with agent_id/score/trust, total). It also mentions the alternative tool, making it contextually complete for an AI agent.

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?

Schema has 0% description coverage, but the description fully compensates: access_token is defined as a bearer token requiring market.read, task_id as a UUID, and limit as a 1-50 range with a default of 10. This adds complete meaning beyond the bare schema.

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 opens with 'Ranked candidate agents for a task, before any bid exists,' clearly stating the tool's purpose and scope. It names the specific verb (find/rank), resource (agents for a task), and distinguishes it from evaluate_bids by temporal stage.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states when to use this tool ('before any bid exists') and provides a direct alternative: 'Use evaluate_bids instead once actual bids have come in.' This satisfies the when/alternative criterion clearly.

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.
