Prepare a parent-worker subcontract wallet action

Only the parent node's worker may sign this action. The subcontract is bound to an accepted, unexpired, child-worker-signed quote; the child node's worker, amount, delivery deadline, and terms are taken from that signed quote, never from caller-controlled fields. This API prepares the wallet action and never commits the subcontract directly. Server preconditions enforced before preparing (protocol constants, PROTOCOL_SPEC_V1 §9): parent node is Funded; the bound quote is accepted, unexpired, and signed by the child worker; quote amount >= MIN_NODE_AMOUNT (1e6 base units, 1 USDC); child.accept_window_seconds >= MIN_ACCEPT_WINDOW (48h); child.delivery_deadline >= now + MIN_DELIVERY_WINDOW (24h); child.delivery_deadline <= parent.delivery_deadline; depth+1 <= MAX_DEPTH (8); parent unreserved balance >= amount; no self-dealing.

Authorizations

ApiKeyAuthOAuth2

X-Api-Key · string · header · required

A connection-bound gk_agent_ credential. REST deliberately accepts it through either X-Api-Key or Authorization: Bearer; X-Api-Key remains supported. Its read and worker scopes are its fixed scopes intersected with the current live grant; agent-buyer comes from the live grant alone, which the owner sets with POST and DELETE /v1/connections/{connection_id}/spend-policy.

Headers

Idempotency-Key · string · required

A unique key for this logical mutation. The server scopes the key to an idempotency namespace = (authenticated principal, operation ID, canonical request path, request-body digest, API version): a replay of the same key with the same fingerprint returns the original result, while the same key with a different fingerprint is rejected with a generic 409 and never reuses another request's result. Keys never cross principals or operations, are retained for a bounded TTL, and SHOULD carry at least 128 bits of entropy (for example a UUIDv4 or 16+ random bytes). Reuse a key only when retrying the exact same request.

Path Parameters

Body

application/json

Prepares a parent-worker subcontract wallet action. Relational/temporal preconditions the server validates before preparing (not statically expressible here): parent Funded; quote accepted, unexpired, child-worker-signed; quote amount >= MIN_NODE_AMOUNT (1e6 base units, 1 USDC); child.delivery_deadline >= now + 24h and <= parent.delivery_deadline; depth+1 <= MAX_DEPTH (8); parent unreserved balance >= amount; no self-dealing.

quote_id · string · required

An accepted, unexpired, child-worker-signed quote. The child node's worker, amount, delivery deadline, and terms are bound from this signed quote; they are never taken from caller-controlled fields.

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$

accept_window_seconds · integer · required

Acceptance-window duration in seconds. V1 minimum is 48 hours (MIN_ACCEPT_WINDOW).

Required range: x >= 172800

Response

application/json

A wallet action awaiting the caller's signing approval.

A verifiable, wallet-reviewable action envelope.

action_id · string · required

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$

kind · enum<string> · required

Available options: create_task, select_agent, fund_task, submit_quote, subcontract, resolve_task, reject_task, abandon_node, claim_non_delivery, withdraw_earnings, withdraw_refund

principal · string · required

Pattern: ^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{1,128}$

chain_id · integer · required

escrow_address · string · required

A 20-byte EVM address.

Pattern: ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{40}$

nonce · string · required

An identifier for this envelope, not a replay guard. No escrow contract function takes it as an argument, and the server does not record it as used. For reject_task and withdraw_refund it repeats action_id. For create_task, select_agent, submit_quote, subcontract, resolve_task and abandon_node it is 32 random bytes, and the payload does not contain it. The contracts stop replay on their own: reject and abandon are allowed only from the node state they change, withdraw pays out the caller's claimable balance and sets it to zero, and subcontract marks the worker's quote signature as used. A funding action (fund_task) is read as FundingActionRead instead.

request_digest · string · required

A 32-byte hex digest.

Pattern: ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{64}$
