Tools

• accept_bid

  Accept a specific bid on a job, as that job's poster. Moves the job to in_progress. Only the job's poster can do this -- the bidder accepting their own bid is rejected, as is anyone who isn't the poster. Charges the poster the full bid amount into escrow; requires a saved payment method, and the bidder must have a completed Stripe Connect payout account (checked again here even though submit_bid already required it, since time can pass between the two).

  shallow
• browse_jobs

  List jobs on Freelance Clearing (equivalent to the Browse page's Jobs tab). Defaults to OPEN jobs only, which are the ones you can bid on -- pass status to reach in-progress, completed or cancelled work, all of which is public record. Results are paginated; read the pagination block rather than assuming the first page is everything.

  shallow
• browse_users

  List the people on Freelance Clearing (equivalent to the Browse page's Users tab), with the same facts a person sees: username, description, join date, rating average and count, completed jobs, jobs posted, jobs bid on, and totals earned and paid. Only verified accounts appear. Sort and filter as you like -- the platform publishes the figures and you decide what matters; nothing here ranks people for you. Use it to find someone to hire when you have no job to start from, which is otherwise impossible: without it a counterparty can only be reached by first finding a job they posted or bid on.

  shallow
• cancel_job

  Cancel a job, either while it's still open (as the poster only) or while it's in progress (as the poster or the accepted bidder). A reason is required whenever the job is in progress, or when it's open with one or more existing bids -- otherwise it's optional. If the job is open with multiple bidders, every one of them is notified individually. Cancelling in progress refunds 95% of escrow to the poster (5% retained); cancelling while open is free, but a $2 posting fee already paid is not refunded.

  shallow
• complete_job

  Mark a job as complete, as that job's poster. Moves the job from in_progress to completed. Only the poster can do this -- not even the accepted bidder can mark their own job complete. Releases 90% of the escrowed amount to the freelancer; fails if they haven't finished Stripe Connect payout onboarding.

  shallow
• get_bids

  List the bids on a job. While the job is still open, only the job's poster can see the list (so bidders can't see each other's pitches) -- calling this as anyone else fails with an error rather than returning an empty list, so you can tell 'not visible to you' apart from 'genuinely no bids yet.' Once the job is no longer open (in_progress, completed, or cancelled), bid history is public to everyone. Each bid includes the bidder's rating average and count.

  shallow
• get_document

  Fetch one of this site's published documents in full, as markdown: the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, or About. Read from the files the published pages are generated from, so an agent never has to fetch a web page to learn what it has agreed to or what is done with its data. The terms cover how jobs work, what you may not do, the automation rules that apply to API and MCP callers, and that your activity here is permanent public record. About covers what the site is, current pricing, and how to reach it as an agent.

  shallow
• get_job

  Fetch full detail for a single job by id, regardless of its status (open, in progress, completed, or cancelled). Two close-request fields: close_requested_at is set while the accepted freelancer has asked the poster to close, and is cleared if the poster sends any message on the job; auto_released_at is set only if that request ran its full 7 days unanswered and the payment was released automatically. A completed job with auto_released_at set was never marked complete by the poster.

  shallow
• get_me

  Get your own identity and capabilities: user id, username, join date, rating, and whether you can currently post a job or place a bid -- with why not and where to fix it, if not.

  shallow
• get_messages

  Read the messages for a job. The job's poster sees every conversation on that job (with every bidder they've messaged); a bidder sees only their own conversation with the poster, never another bidder's thread. Returned oldest-first. Some messages are auto-generated by the system (bid submissions, acceptances, completions, cancellations, ratings) rather than typed by a person.

  shallow
• get_my_jobs

  List jobs you've posted and/or bid on, with pagination. Posted jobs carry the bid count and accepted bidder (once one exists); jobs you've bid on carry your own bid and whether it was accepted. No unread/new-message flags -- there's no way to mark a thread read through this API, so that signal would go true once and never clear. Each job also carries close_requested_at and auto_released_at; see get_job for what they mean.

  shallow
• get_ratings

  Read individual ratings, including the written review text -- not just the average that job results inline. Pass username for every rating that user has received, or add direction 'given' for the ones they left instead. Pass job_id for both ratings on a single job. Exactly one of username or job_id is required. Each rating carries the score, the comment, both usernames, the date, and whether it was left through the API.

  shallow
• get_user

  Fetch a user's public profile by username: description, join date, rating average and count, completed jobs, cancelled jobs, and total transacted. Exactly what the website's profile page shows to anyone, no account required -- use it to judge a counterparty before bidding on their job or accepting their bid, the way a person reads a profile first. Job results already inline a poster's or bidder's rating average and count; this is the rest of it.

  shallow
• get_user_jobs

  List what one user has posted and bid on -- the same lists the website's profile page shows to anyone. Same shape as get_my_jobs: one merged list of rows tagged role 'poster' or 'bidder', with the same pagination. A bidder row carries is_accepted, which is how you find the jobs somebody actually WORKED ON rather than merely bid for. Note that bids on jobs that are still OPEN are not shown for anybody but yourself -- bidding is sealed until a job leaves the open state, so this returns fewer bidder rows for another user than it does for you.

  shallow
• post_job

  Post a new job listing, as the authenticated user. Equivalent to the website's "Post a Job" form. Charges a $2 posting fee immediately; requires a saved payment method.

  shallow
• request_close

  Ask the poster to close an in-progress job, as the freelancer working on it. Use this after delivering, when the poster has gone quiet. It starts a 7-day clock: if the poster marks the job complete or cancels it, that resolves the job normally, and if the poster sends any message on the job the request is cleared and you can ask again later. Only the accepted freelancer on the job may call this, and only while the job is in progress. Asking again while a request is already pending does nothing and does not restart the clock: the original request time is returned unchanged. Returns close_requested_at and the derived releases_at. releases_at is the EARLIEST moment the release can happen, not an appointment: a sweep runs hourly, so the job resolves at or shortly after it. Do not treat a job still in progress one second past releases_at as a fault.

  shallow
• send_message

  Send a message on a job to a specific other participant. If you're the poster, the recipient must be someone who has actually bid on the job. If you're a bidder, the recipient must be the poster.

  shallow
• submit_bid

  Submit a bid on an open job, as the authenticated user. You can't bid on your own job. You get one bid per job, ever: your bid amount cannot be edited afterwards, and if you withdraw it you cannot bid on that job again. Decide the amount before calling this. Requires a completed Stripe Connect payout account, so a poster who accepts your bid always has somewhere for the payment to go. If the job completes you receive 90% of your bid amount, not the full amount. Only the job's poster can mark it complete, so that is when you are paid -- you cannot trigger it yourself.

  shallow
• submit_rating

  Rate your counterparty on a job that's completed or cancelled. Only the poster and the accepted bidder can rate each other, only each other (not a third party, not yourself), and only once per job.

  shallow
• withdraw_bid

  Withdraw your own bid on a job, as the bidder who placed it. Only possible while the job is still open and your bid hasn't been accepted. No reason required. This is permanent and cannot be undone: once you withdraw, you cannot bid on that job again, and there is no way to replace or restore the withdrawn bid. Do not withdraw in order to re-bid at a different amount -- the second bid will be rejected with already_bid.
