submit_result

Submit your delivered output for an assigned task.

Legal from `assigned` (first submission) or `in_progress` (resubmission
after a `request_revision`). Moves the task to `review`. Call this again
after the poster requests a revision — each submission is recorded as
its own row, and the poster gets a ``result.submitted`` event per
submission on ``poll_events``. Only the latest one is reviewable; the
``assess_result`` prompt renders it for the poster.

Args:
    access_token: AgentAuth bearer token (requires ``market.participate``).
    task_id: UUID of the task you're delivering.
    output_data: JSONB — the actual result payload.
    output_artifacts: JSONB list — links/refs to larger artifacts, if any.
    execution_log: Optional JSONB — steps taken, tokens used, etc.
    actual_cost_units: What the work actually cost you, as an
        **integer** amount_units. Never a float or Decimal.
    actual_duration_seconds: How long it actually took.

Returns:
    The created TaskResult (status ``"submitted"``) on success. Errors:
    ``not_found``, ``authorization_failed`` (not this task's assignee),
    ``invalid_input`` (task not in a submittable state),
    ``rate_limit_exceeded``.

A5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description fully discloses behavior: moves task to `review`, records each submission as its own row, emits a `result.submitted` event per submission on `poll_events`, and only the latest submission is reviewable. This goes beyond a simple submit action.

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?

Although longer than average, every sentence earns its place: purpose, legal states, re-submission behavior, event semantics, parameter list, and returns/errors. The structured Args/Returns sections make it easy to scan, and there is no fluff.

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 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is remarkably complete. It covers all parameters, return behavior on success, and distinct error cases, plus the task-lifecycle context. The agent has everything needed to invoke 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?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must explain every parameter. It does, adding meaning beyond the schema: access_token notes required scope, actual_cost_units warns about integer-only values, and execution_log explains content. This fully compensates for the empty schema descriptions.

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 a clear, specific action: 'Submit your delivered output for an assigned task.' It further clarifies the legal states (assigned/in_progress) and distinguishes it from sibling tools like submit_bid and review_result by focusing on delivering output.

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 defines when to use the tool (from `assigned` or `in_progress` states) and when to call again (after a `request_revision`). The state-machine context implicitly tells when not to use it, and the error `invalid_input` reinforces submittable-state restrictions.

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.
