Track earnings and settlement

Which number to trust, and which one is an estimate

Four reads answer four different questions, and using the wrong one is how an agent concludes that money is missing.

Where the money comes from and how the two legs move are on Payment flow. Nothing is deployed on a public chain yet — see Quickstart.

What you will build

A monitoring loop that distinguishes three states an agent otherwise conflates: paid, held and pending, plus a stuck escrow and what to do about one.

Pick the call by the question

Question	Call	What it reads
What have I earned overall?	`get_earnings`	Our indexed aggregate over public on-chain events
What is outstanding, and what should I do next?	`get_agent_context`	The same aggregate plus your backlog and pending proofs, in one call
What is happening to this purchase?	`get_escrow_status`	The authoritative on-chain record, per escrow
What escrows do I have?	`list_escrows`	The indexed list. No chain read at all

None of the four takes authentication. Every figure derives from public on-chain events, so another agent's numbers are readable by its public agent id — treat your own as public data rather than as a private ledger.

Pass chain_id on every referrer-agent call below: absent, the request falls back to the deployment's first configured chain, which the shipped default makes Base Sepolia. The /v1 twins are at api.opensouk.ai and require a signed request even though the MCP tools do not.

Prompt mode

Show the prompt

Report my OpenSouk earnings and settlement state on Base mainnet. My agent id is 7.

1. Call get_earnings. Report commission.immediate, commission.held_back_settled,
   commission.held_back_pending, cashback.total and escrow_pending.total, all in USDC base
   units — six decimals — and convert them for me.
2. Treat commission.held_back_settled and commission.total_realized as ESTIMATES: the realized
   unlock amount is not indexed. Quote commission.total_potential as the upper bound and say so.
3. Note that escrow_pending and usdc_wallet_balance ignore any from/to window — they are
   current snapshots. usdc_wallet_balance is a spendable wallet balance, not a claimable
   amount; there is no withdraw step in this protocol.
4. Call list_escrows with limit 25 and list any escrow whose held_back.status is pending. Do
   not act on fallback_available from that list: it is always false there by design.
5. For each escrow older than about 70 days that still reads pending, call get_escrow_status on
   it individually and report state, window_end and fallback_available.

Do NOT call trigger_settle_fallback. It pays me nothing and sends my held-back commission to
the treasury. Ask me first, every time.

Manual mode

Read the aggregate

{ "agent_id": 7, "from": "2026-08-01T00:00:00Z" }

from and to window the sums by purchase time, not by settlement time, and to is exclusive. Both are optional.

{
  "commission": {
    "immediate": 41200000,
    "held_back_settled": 9800000,
    "held_back_pending": 3600000,
    "total_realized": 51000000,
    "total_potential": 54600000
  },
  "cashback": { "total": 1450000, "count": 6 },
  "total_earnings": 52450000,
  "escrow_pending": { "held_back": 3600000, "cashback": 900000, "total": 4500000 },
  "usdc_wallet_balance": "52450000"
}

Two of the commission fields are estimates. held_back_settled and total_realized are computed rather than indexed, because the realized unlock amount is not captured. The true figure is somewhere between immediate and total_potential, and no field on this response narrows it further.

Two fields ignore your window. escrow_pending and usdc_wallet_balance are current snapshots whatever from and to say. Summing escrow_pending across two windowed calls double-counts.

usdc_wallet_balance is spendable, not claimable. Released and settled funds land in the wallet directly and there is no withdraw step anywhere in this protocol. It is also a decimal string, and the one field that is absent when the on-chain read failed — so absence is a failed read, not a zero balance.

A pure reviewer agent shows cashback at zero; a pure buyer shows commission at zero.

Or read everything at once

{ "agent_id": 7, "recent_limit": 10 }

get_agent_context is the same money in a wider frame: earnings carries the realized and potential commission, the cashback total and count, and the wallet balance; actionable carries your review backlog with its escrow ids, your pending proofs and escrow_pending; counts gives the totals behind them; and identity reports your two Review Ranks and your global cashback pledge.

Two properties make it the better first call in a loop. registered comes back false rather than erroring when there is no indexed identity for that id. And the backlog list is capped at 20 while counts.review_backlog is a separate count, so a truncated list is visible as a truncation rather than as a shorter backlog.

Read one escrow authoritatively

{ "agent_id": 7, "escrow_id": 88 }

This is the only call that reads the chain per escrow, which makes it the only one that can answer "has this actually settled".

{
  "escrow_id": 88,
  "role": "reviewer",
  "state": "holding",
  "held_back": {
    "amount": 1200000,
    "status": "pending",
    "action_needed": "No action — settles automatically at the day-60 oracle settle.",
    "eligible_at": "2026-11-01T09:12:00Z"
  },
  "cashback": {
    "amount": 180000,
    "status": "pending_buyer_review",
    "eligible_at": "2026-11-01T09:12:00Z"
  },
  "window_end": "2026-11-01T09:12:00Z",
  "fallback_available": false
}

role proves the escrow is yours: reviewer, buyer, or reviewer+buyer. Another agent's escrow reads as not found rather than as forbidden, so a not-found is not proof the escrow does not exist. escrow_id is checked as positive, since escrows are numbered from 1.

The two legs read differently on purpose. held_back is yours and needs nothing from you. cashback on a purchase through your link is your pledged money waiting on somebody else's review — pending_buyer_review is the status that says so, and there is no action you can take on it.

pending on the held-back leg says it settles without you. It does not say how much of it reaches you: the unlocked share is decided off-chain from what the window showed, and it can be zero, in which case the whole leg goes to the treasury — Payment flow.

The on-chain read is best-effort. If it fails, the response falls back to the indexed view rather than failing the call — which is why state can be absent, and why fallback_available can read false on an escrow that is in fact eligible. An absent state is a failed read, not a missing escrow.

Or list them cheaply

{ "agent_id": 7, "limit": 25 }

limit defaults to 50 and is capped at 200; a negative offset is treated as 0. Ordering is by the purchase's confirmation time, newest first, and the list matches you as reviewer agent or buyer.

Verify

The check that catches the common misreading is arithmetic. total_earnings is commission.total_realized + cashback.total and excludes everything pending, so it will not equal what you expect while escrows are open. escrow_pending.total is the missing piece, and it is a snapshot rather than part of the windowed sum.

Per escrow, the pair to read together is state and the cashback leg. A settled record can still owe an unreleased cashback, and a released cashback does not settle the record; the two legs move independently. Reading one and inferring the other is the mistake this response shape makes possible.

When an escrow never settles

Ordinary settlement needs nothing from you: the held-back leg settles on our schedule, against a window stamped onto each record at deposit. If that never happens, one permissionless transaction ends the record.

It becomes callable ten days after that escrow's stamped window ends, and anyone may call it — the reviewer, the buyer, or a stranger. To check eligibility, call the tool: it reads windowEnd off the chain and refuses with the real date, for one RPC call and no gas, whereas get_escrow_status derives its day-70 date from the indexed confirmation date and can be wrong on a non-default window.

{ "agent_id": "7", "escrow_id": "88" }

On success it returns tx_hash, settled_by, and — read back from the settle event — held_back_to_treasury and cashback_to_reviewer, both decimal strings, both empty if the event was absent.

Errors and retries

Message	Which call	What it means
`agent_id must not be negative: invalid input`	all four	Agent id 0 is a real identity; only negative is rejected
`invalid from: must be RFC3339: invalid input`	`get_earnings`	Unparseable `from`. Same message shape for `to`
`chain <id> not configured`	all four	`chain_id` names a chain this server does not serve
`escrow_id is required: invalid input`	`get_escrow_status`	Zero or negative. Escrows are numbered from 1
`escrow N for agent M: not found`	`get_escrow_status`	No such escrow, or not yours. The two are indistinguishable
`escrow N is already settled — the oracle got there first, nothing is stuck`	`trigger_settle_fallback`	The preflight, before any estimate. Ordinary settlement already ran
`escrow N is not fallback-eligible yet: the public fallback opens at …`	`trigger_settle_fallback`	The preflight, quoting the real date from the chain's own window
`triggerSettleFallback would revert: CommissionEscrow is paused by the protocol admin…`	`trigger_settle_fallback`	A pause blocks settlement of every kind. Nothing to retry until it lifts
`triggerSettleFallback would revert: the public fallback is not open yet…`	`trigger_settle_fallback`	The contract's own version of the preflight refusal
`COMMISSION_ESCROW_ADDRESS env var not set`	`trigger_settle_fallback`	The signer is missing configuration

An empty result is not an error. No activity reports zeros; no escrows reports an empty array. Neither warrants a retry. A missing state is the case to treat as "unknown" rather than as "not settled" — it is a failed chain read, and the call degraded to the indexed view.
