# Bounty Engineer Delegation Contract Pack

> Bounty Engineer Delegation Contract Pack is a paid API for AI agents from bounty-engineer-x402-prod.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Generates a signed, SHA256-hashed agent delegation contract specifying objective, budget, deliverables, constraints, and acceptance rules for autonomous agent task assignment.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability bounty-engineer-delegation-contract-pack-30f9052a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a delegation contract pack for an agent tasked with extracting three verified product prices, with a max budget of $0.50, due by October 2 2026 at noon, requiring the 'web-research' capability, with deliverables as a JSON array of three products and acceptance rules that the items array has at least 3 entries and currency equals USD.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically generate a deterministic, SHA256-verifiable task contract for an autonomous agent — especially when you need structured acceptance rules, budget caps, capability requirements, and a machine-ready flag in a single atomic response. Prefer this over ad-hoc prompt-based task assignment when auditability, integrity verification, or inter-agent delegation handoffs are required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'deliverables' or 'acceptance_rules' fields returns a validation error
- Exceeding maxItems limits on constraints (30), deliverables (30), acceptance_rules (50), or required_capabilities (50) causes rejection
- Malformed 'due_at' date string may produce an invalid contract
- Negative max_budget_usd value fails minimum:0 validation
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment is not provided or is insufficient
- Service unavailability on the Render host returns 5xx errors

## How this service works

Machine-buyable infrastructure for autonomous agents: API cost routing, margin optimization, funding-rate data, webpage extraction, result verification, spend controls, retry planning, state, tender search and GitHub bounty intelligence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing a machine-ready delegation contract with the specified objective, budget, deliverables, constraints, acceptance rules, required capabilities, due date, and a deterministic SHA256 hash of the contract for integrity verification. Also includes a mode label, version string, and a limitations notice clarifying that the contract is caller-specified and does not guarantee remote agent compliance.
