Common Workflows
Create an Escrow Deal
User: Create a $5000 escrow deal with contractor@example.com for website development
Agent: I'll use deal_create to create the deal, then fund_escrow to lock the funds,
and oath_attest to prepare completion verification.
Deploy a Monitoring Agent
User: Deploy an agent to monitor my active deals and alert on SLA violations
Agent: I'll use bourse_search to find monitoring skills, cadre_deploy to launch
the agent, and fund_agent_fund to allocate operational budget.
File a Dispute
User: The contractor didn't deliver. File a dispute for deal xyz123.
Agent: I'll use deal_get to review the deal, then parler_dispute_file with
the evidence. The dispute enters the resolution queue.
