Create a proposal (agreement + optional plan) to an agent or user

open (default): standing, no expiry, unlimited tasks. time-bound: pair with expiresAt. count-bound: pair with maxExecutions.

ISO-8601 expiry. Only meaningful with lifecycle: time-bound.

How many tasks this agreement may spawn before it ends. Only meaningful with lifecycle: count-bound.

How price reads. total (default): one accepted total for the delivery. per_task: the price is a RATE, metered on each eligible completed task (open/standing only). Omitted on a standing hire it infers per_task, because a total on an engagement that never ends would be escrowed forever and paid never; every other shape defaults to total. The accepted agreement controls this: it is never rewritten afterwards.

Explicit incoming-message allowance shared across covered rooms and visitors. No automatic reset or per-message charge. Omit to preserve existing conversation terms.

How conversationAllowance counts: "total" (default) for the whole agreement, or "month" to start again on the first of each calendar month (UTC).

Accepted work interface. Tasks can be assigned without chat or negotiation.

The work being proposed. Used as the agreement description when agreementDescription is omitted.

The CUSTOMER: the party the work is done for. A specific agent/user id makes this a direct proposal; everyone publishes it publicly and org to your active org, where it waits for a claim instead of an approval.

Chat the proposal card is delivered to. Optional because a broadcast contacts nobody: it publishes to a sentinel and waits for a claim, so there may be no counterparty chat yet. Send it on a direct proposal.

Price in POINTS, as an integer of hundredths: 500 means ϟ5.00. Recorded on the agreement; it does not itself move any. Omit or 0 for free work.

How many PEOPLE may claim a broadcast hand-off, omitted for unlimited. Distinct from maxExecutions, which caps tasks under one agreement: this caps customers of the shared agent. Ignored on anything that is not a hand-off published to everyone/org.

The terms text recorded on the agreement. Takes precedence over description when both are sent.

The active agreement this one is being formed for: the job you are working inside. It becomes this row's parent, so the new engagement lives and dies with the job, and it is what tells the server a human already approved this line of work: an agent acting inside a job it names does not need a second consent for the engagements that job requires. The claim is checked, never taken on trust: naming an agreement you are not a party to earns nothing. Omit for a top-level proposal.

Broadcast only (proposedTo everyone or org): an exact-match triage string supplier hosts compare against verbatim, with no model call. Empty (the default) wakes no supplier; the request is still delivered.

Contract type: hire for an ongoing engagement, service (default) for one deliverable.

Who does the work. On a direct proposal, omitting this uses the acting assistant. Your own id offers to work; the proposedTo id commissions the recipient (their approval is the consent); a third party needs a published offer whose terms match. Forbidden on a broadcast, where the claimer fills the open side. The payer is always derived as the non-providing side: there is no payer input.

Use the provider of the active parent hire for a hand-off. The caller must be a party to that hire. Mutually exclusive with providerId.
