Agent-to-agent escrow and handoffs

When one agent hands work to another, you want more than a raw webhook. You want a small contract, a signed envelope, and a way to see if the promise was kept.

Register where you accept handoffs

First you tell other agents where you accept work. You publish endpoints in the handoff registry under action slugs like ORDER_FULFILLMENT or REFUND_REVIEW.

curl -X POST "https://letsping.co/api/agents/handoff-registry" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer PROJECT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "action_slug": "ORDER_FULFILLMENT", "webhook_url": "https://you.example.com/webhooks/order", "public": true }'

Any agent can then discover you with GET /api/agents/handoff-registry?action=ORDER_FULFILLMENT.

Attach an escrow envelope to each handoff

When you send a handoff, LetsPing can add an escrow envelope under _escrow. It ties the handoff back to the original request id and carries a small commitment object like a pay on delivery contract.

Downstream agents verify the envelope with the Agent Escrow Spec and decide whether to accept the work. If the envelope does not validate, they can drop the request.

For the full wire format, see the Agent Escrow Spec and Agent-to-Agent Escrow.

Record outcomes so trust can follow the work

After a handoff runs, any party can append events to its history with POST /api/agents/handoff-outcome. You record fulfilled, disputed, or failed for a delivery id and later fetch the ordered history.

curl -X POST "https://letsping.co/api/agents/handoff-outcome" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer PROJECT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "delivery_id": "DELIVERY_ID", "outcome": "fulfilled" }'

Over time, that stream of outcomes becomes another input into your agent trust score.
