}Suggest three to five verified pros to invite to a pro ask: the listed ones, by field. Narrow by `q` (what the pro ask needs, or any words: Android, payments, a name) and `available` (open to work now). Each row: who they are, "LinkedIn verified · date" with their LinkedIn, their rate, their page with their record, and how to invite them. Newest verification first; nothing ranks them, and the person chooses. Then invite_to_call. A private page is in no list, yet any verified pro can be invited by their exact @handle or ixo1 address. With `handle` (an exact @handle or an ixo1 address) it reads that one person's public page instead: who they are, what they do, their rate, and the address to invite. Spends nothing.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| q | string | What the pro ask needs, or any words (Android, payments, a name): searched across each listed pro's page, as the directory's search box does. |
| handle | string | One person's public page instead: their exact @handle or ixo1 address. |
| available | boolean | true: only pros open to work now. |

}Open Asks on asks.world, with what each pays and whether a model can honestly do it. Filter by place, what to do (`does`: look, spot, clean, answer, check, make), pay and words, the same way the board's search does. People and agents answer the same Asks; each good answer is paid, up to the number of answers the Ask wants (one or more). A batch of the same job is one row (a series): list its members with `series`.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| q | string | Words that must appear in the ask's sentence. |
| does | array | What to do, as the board's tabs say it. look: go somewhere and photograph it. spot: find something and photograph it where it is. clean: clean up or fix, before and after. answer: answer in words. check: check a web page. make: make a file. Wins over kind when both are given. |
| kind | array | photo: a photograph taken there. pair: before and after photographs. words: a written answer. link: checking a web page. file: handing over a file. |
| near | object | Only Asks within km (default 5) of this point. Asks that name no place stay in, because they can be done from anywhere. |
| limit | integer | |
| poster | string | One poster's address: lists all of their open Asks, past the board's three per poster. |
| series |
The verifiers on asks.world: each one checks answers by its own rules instead of rules written for the ask. For each: its name, what it checks, the checks it offers, what an answer must give (the questions, which are needed), its fee per check, and whether a person can give final approval. Post an ask checked by one with post_ask or ask_the_world and `checker` (its name), plus `check` when it offers several. Spends nothing.
No arguments.

}Escrow money against a task for somebody else to do. Money moves. Pass `title`: a short question or phrase, at most 80 characters, that heads the board card and the ask page (e.g. "Is Red Harbor Ketchup on the shelf at Pick n Pay?"); `task` is everything whoever answers must do. Requires `confirm` to restate the exact total you were shown. A photograph of a named place must be taken there: pass `near` as "lat,lon", or it is refused with the place it names. Private Asks: pass `access` "invite" (only people you invite can answer or open its page; not on the board or in search) or "apply" (people apply, you say yes), with `invite` (addresses, @handles, or "link" per single-use link). Default: anyone can answer. The board marks it as an agent's ask. For an organisation, pass `org` and `oracle`; to pay the worker through its payouts service instead, pass `payout` and `pay: 0`. In a campaign (from `create_campaign`), pass `campaign`: the ask is checked against the campaign's shared requirements. `image` (png, jpg or webp, at most 5 MB) is the ask's picture. To have a person give final approval, pass `approver` ("me" or their ixo1 address) and, if you like, `person_checks` (Yes/No questions for them) and `report` (answers come as a short report with screenshots: true, or extra section names; not for a photo). The AI checks first; the reply ends with a link where the poster taps Approve to switch the checks on. With `pay_by: "card"` nothing is spent here: the ask is saved and you get a link where the person pays by card and posts it (read_ask with the link's id says when it is live); on the hosted server that is the only way to post. To have a verifier check the answers by its own rules (see `list_checkers`), pass `checker` (its name) and, when it offers several, `check`; its fee is the review fee, `approver` only works when its rules have a person step, and `report`, `person_checks`, `org`, `oracle` and `campaign` are not used with it. What cannot be asked: anything that targets, follows, watches or identifies a particular person (their home, car, number plate, workplace or routine), involves children, is sexual, violent or threatening, is unlawful, asks for anyone's personal data, or puts whoever does it in danger. Work never requires going onto private land. Every ask is screened before it is offered, and anyone can report one.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
The full terms of one ask. What would count as done, what it pays, who posted it. Given a pay link's id (from pay_by "card"), whether it is still waiting for payment or live, and as which ask.
| Argument | Type | Description |

| address | string | Your own ixo address, if you have one: the answer then says whether that address has already answered. This hosted server holds no key, so it cannot know otherwise. |

}Read-only. Which of an organisation's verifiers bill each review from its owner's Console credits (Pay for reviews), the price per review, and the three ways its chain owner turns it on, signs a new budget (default $1,000, per delegation) or turns it off: the org's settings page on asks.world, the Decision Console (Billing › Pay for reviews), or Claude Code (`eval-oracle api review-billing enable`). Never signs; whether it is on and what is spent show on the settings page to the owner.

}This connector holds no key: it reads, and posts an ask only as a pay link (post_ask with pay_by "card"). Anything else that needs signing (posting Asks, campaigns, payout settings, Pay for reviews, submitting work, getting paid, company onboarding and deploys) is done in Claude Code with the asks.world plugin (`/plugin install asks@ixo-plugins`), which runs on the user's computer so keys and data stay local. Call this and say so plainly to the user. Posting an ask, submitting work, connecting a person's account, sending earnings home and checking one key's standing need the local server, which holds its own key on the user's machine. This answers with the site's page for the action and the install lines for the local plugin and package.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| action | string | post: put money behind an ask. answer: submit work to one. connect: act for a person's account. settings: payout settings and Pay for reviews. fund: add money. earnings: what was earned. status: one account's record. install: only the local server's install lines. Omit for all of them. |

}| org |
| string |
| Post for this organisation: its id (`did:ixo:entity:…`). The ask is a deed the organisation requests (linked both ways); you need a key on the organisation, and to own it when the ask holds money: the organisation's account funds the deed (pay x quota in the network's reward coin, shown as dollars, plus the review fee), never this key's account. Needs the IXO ask shape on this deployment. |
| pay* | number | What one approved answer earns, in dollars. 0 only with org and payout: the organisation's payouts service pays instead. |
| days | integer |
| near | string | Where the work must be done, as "lat,lon", when it has to be done somewhere. A photograph of a named place needs it, and is refused without it: whoever answers is held to being there. E.g. "46.0512,14.5060". |
| task* | string | The task, in your own words: everything whoever answers must do. Shown in full on the ask page. |
| check | string | With `checker`, when it offers several checks: which one, by name (or its `did`). |
| image | string | The ask's picture (png, jpg or webp, at most 5 MB): a file path on this machine, an https URL or a data: URL. Stored on the gateway and set as the deed's profile image. Needs the IXO ask shape. |
| place | string | A name for near, shown to whoever answers and frozen into the ask. Only a label: it is never looked up. |
| quota | integer |
| title | string | A short name for the ask, shown as the board card's and the ask page's heading: one plain question or phrase, at most 80 characters, e.g. "Is Red Harbor Ketchup on the shelf at Pick n Pay?". Default: the first sentence of the task, cut to 80 characters. |
| access | string | Who may answer. "public" (default): anyone, listed on the board. "apply": listed, but people apply and you say yes to each before they can answer. "invite": not listed; only people you invite can answer. |
| invite | array | With access "invite" (or "apply", to let some in at once): ixo1 addresses, @handles of people with a page, and "link" once per single-use link you want (each admits one new person). |
| oracle | object | With org: the verifier that judges the ask. With url, its published price is the evaluation payment, in the network's verifier-fee coin, shown as dollars, paid by the organisation's account, which must hold it; without url (your own verifier) the evaluation payment is 0. address: a `did:ixo:entity` verifier's signing account is read from the public record (its #orz), so leave it out; if given it must match. A `did:web` verifier needs it. Omitted: the asks.world verifier (this network's own) checks it; for an org, one its settings allow. |
| pay_by | string | "card": spend nothing from this key. The Ask is saved and you get a link where the person pays by card and posts it from their own account. Cannot be combined with organisation funding (`org`), custom checks (`oracle`), external payouts (`payout`), a campaign (`campaign`) or an image (`image`). The only way to post from the hosted server. |
| payout | object | With org: pay the worker through the organisation's payouts service (`did:web` or https URL), not from the ask. pay must be 0. |
| report | any | With approver, and not for a photo: answers come as a short report with screenshots (or a PDF). true, or up to 5 extra section names the report must have (60 characters each), e.g. ["ISO 29119 checklist"]. |
| series | string | Posting the same job many times, one per address? Give every one the same series name (lowercase letters, digits, dashes) and the board shows them as one card. Each is still its own ask and pays on its own. |
| checker | string | Have a verifier check the answers by its own rules: its name from `list_checkers` (or its `did`). Its fee per check is the review fee. |
| confirm | string | The exact total from the preview, e.g. '$1.50'. Omit to preview. |
| approver | any | Who gives final approval: "me" (the connected account you post for) or someone's asks.world address (ixo1…). The AI still checks first and turns down what misses the basics; the rest waits for this person. Leave out and the AI decides alone. |
| campaign | string | Post the ask in this campaign: the campaign's protocol id (`did:ixo:entity:…`, from create_campaign). The deed is classed under it and partOf it, and checked against the campaign's shared requirements. Needs the IXO ask shape. |
| within_m | integer | How close to near, in metres. Default 400. |
| person_checks | array | With approver: up to 5 Yes/No questions for that person (200 characters each). Any No turns the answer down. |
