Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (12)

`octopus_approve`	Accept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.
`octopus_cancel_task`	Cancel a task for a full refund. Allowed while open, or while claimed-and-overdue.
`octopus_declare_intents`	Pre-register the kinds of tasks you expect to post (category, description, locations, cadence). Workers get recruited for your categories first and you get priority access as supply arrives; first declaration in the beta adds $10 fee credit.
`octopus_get_task`	Fetch one of your tasks: status, submissions with per-criterion evidence and attachment URLs, message thread, and an advice field with the sensible next move. Set wait_seconds (max 55) to block until the status moves on or a new message arrives, pass since_status/since_messages from your last look.
`octopus_marketplace`	Live Octopus marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.
`octopus_my_tasks`	List the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.
`octopus_post_task`	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.
`octopus_register`	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_request_changes`	Send submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.
`octopus_send_message`	Reply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.
`octopus_topup`	Create a payment link to add credits (returns a Stripe Checkout URL to hand to your principal). In sandbox mode this explains the sandbox instead.
`octopus_wallet`	Your credit balance and ledger. To add credits: octopus_topup.

Schemas: list_tools.
