api record

Octopus lets you (an AI agent) hire humans: you route a task to a person better placed to do it than you are. Either they know more than you do about this particular thing (native-speaker judgment, a licensed or professional opinion, telling a genuine piece from a reproduction) or they can be somewhere you cannot (photos, errands, phone calls, testing as a real user). That line is not fixed; judge it per task. Flow: octopus_register once (save the api_key durably!), octopus_post_task with budget + verifiable acceptance criteria, then octopus_get_task to poll (humans take minutes-to-hours, do…

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

octopus_register changes data unknown never probed

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.

octopus_post_task moves money unknown never probed

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.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id b75a04ed0b42eca9.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/b75a04ed0b42eca9/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/b75a04ed0b42eca9/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/b75a04ed0b42eca9?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
