Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Humanforai MCP Tools (4)

get_human_services

Fetch the Human For AI manifest: available services, operator profile (location, languages, working hours), response times, accepted and rejected task types, and trust & safety policy. Call this first to decide whether and how to hire the human. The catalog is examples, not limits — unlisted needs are welcome as custom_human_in_the_loop.

submit_human_task

Submit a task for the human operator to perform in the real world. Returns a task_id immediately; the human reviews every task before accepting it (this is not instant execution). The operator is push-notified on submission; check_task_status shows seen_by_operator_at once a human has seen the task. Free during the pilot. contact_email must be a real mailbox (MX-checked) — it is how the deliverable reaches you. No mailbox? Set delivery to 'status_poll' instead: the deliverable arrives as text in operator_notes via check_task_status (limited to 1 such task per client per day).

check_task_status

Look up a submitted task by its task_id. Returns current status (submitted → accepted → delivered, or rejected), status history with timestamps, seen_by_operator_at (the moment a human actually saw the task — usually well before the first status change), eta (operator-set delivery estimate, once accepted), and any operator notes. Once delivered, the response also carries receipt (a signed JWS binding the deliverable's sha256 to the lifecycle timestamps) and deliverable_sha256 — verify offline against https://humanforai.dev/.well-known/jwks.json.
