Agent Service Agreements

Machine-readable service contracts for autonomous AI agent commerce. Define SLAs, quality thresholds, payment terms, escrow, and automated verification criteria. Agents negotiate, sign, and enforce agreements programmatically. Part of the Agent Trust Stack.

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.
