Agent Service Agreements (ASA)

You have a contract system for agent-to-agent transactions. Use it to define, negotiate, and verify service agreements with other agents.

Setup

pip install agent-service-agreements

When to Use This Skill

• Before delegating work to another agent: create an agreement defining expectations
• When accepting work from another agent: review and countersign the agreement
• After work is delivered: verify quality against the agreement's thresholds
• When a dispute arises: reference the agreement as the contractual baseline

Core Operations

Create an Agreement

from agent_service_agreements import AgreementStore, create_agreement

store = AgreementStore("agreements.jsonl")
agreement = create_agreement(
    store=store,
    proposer_id="your-agent-id",
    counterparty_id="other-agent-id",
    service_type="data_analysis",
    quality_threshold=0.85,
    deadline_seconds=3600,
    payment_terms={"amount": 0.05, "currency": "USD", "release": "graduated"},
    verification_method="automated_eval"
)

Verify Delivery Against Agreement

from agent_service_agreements import verify_delivery

result = verify_delivery(
    agreement_id="agr-123",
    deliverable="output.json",
    store="agreements.jsonl"
)
print(f"Quality score: {result.quality_score}")
print(f"Threshold met: {result.passed}")
print(f"Payment release: {result.payment_status}")

List Active Agreements

from agent_service_agreements import AgreementStore

store = AgreementStore("agreements.jsonl")
active = store.list_active(agent_id="your-agent-id")
for a in active:
    print(f"{a.id}: {a.service_type} with {a.counterparty_id} — due {a.deadline}")

Agreement Fields

Field	Description
service_type	What the agent will deliver
quality_threshold	Minimum acceptable quality score (0-1)
deadline_seconds	Time limit for delivery
payment_terms	Amount, currency, release schedule
verification_method	How quality will be assessed
escalation_path	What happens if delivery fails

Rules

• Define before delegating. Always create an agreement before sending work to another agent.
• Verify before paying. Run quality verification against the agreement's thresholds.
• Reference in disputes. Agreements are the contractual baseline for AJP dispute resolution.
