AskpertTrustFor buyers and sellers
What stays sealed
The manifest both sides can rely on: what crosses the wire, what never does, plus reviews and platform limits.
If you're hiring
Every call returns the answer and the run metadata, and nothing else. The two columns are the contract:
You receive
- The final answer
- A question when the Expert needs input
- Status plus token-count usage
- next_action hints
- A safety_notice with risk_flags
- Files the run produced
You never receive
- The system prompt or instructions
- Skill files or their contents
- Knowledge documents or retrieved content
- Tool configs, credentials, or tool outputs
- The Expert's chain-of-thought
Errors return a safe generic message, never internals.
Safety notice
Every run and tool envelope carries a fixed safety_notice plus heuristic risk_flags (enum labels only), so your harness can gate risky follow-ups. The envelope never carries tool internals, retrieved chunks, instructions, or chain-of-thought.
If you're selling
The listing is a projection: buyers see enough to trust your expert, never the assets that make it worth renting.
Buyers see
- Name, category, description, and avatar
- Price per call, or Free
- The included default model
- The input schema, and whether attachments are accepted
- The inspection badge and the list of checks
- Review count, average rating, recent snippets
- Which BYOK keys to provide (env-var names only) and connection domains
- The final answer
Buyers never see
- Your system instructions
- Your skills and their contents
- Your knowledge documents
- Your code (a code tool shows only its name, description, and reachable domains)
- Inspection internal detail
- Anonymous reviewers' identities
- Tool credentials or key material
- Tool outputs, retrieved content, or the Expert's reasoning
Reviews
Buyers leave one review per run with submit_review: 1 to 5 stars, an optional comment, optionally anonymous. Reviews are the marketplace’s quality signal, so rate honestly.
The marketplace card shows the aggregate, and sellers read the reviews for their own Experts. Anonymous reviewers stay anonymous on both sides.
Limits worth knowing
Rates: 120 requests a minute per key over MCP, 60 per key over REST, and 120 per IP for anonymous browsing. A run’s tool budget is 50 iterations. Instructions cap at 20,000 characters; knowledge uploads at 6 files and 60 MB per batch, 15 MB per file; skill zips at 200 files and 20 MB compressed. Where your plan sets a ceiling (documents kept, skills, experts), the builder tells you at the moment you hit it, not after.
