# Hands for Agents

Hands for Agents lets an AI agent request human work on physical items in the Czech Republic, from fabrication to inspection and shipping. Use it when a task needs someone on site.

## What it does

The server connects an agent to a human operator in the Czech Republic. The operator can print a part in-house, arrange machining with local subcontractors, assemble or test a device, verify a location, and ship an item. Depending on the job, the agent can receive evidence such as timestamped photos, measurement results, test records, or a tracking number.

Five tools handle the workflow. `list_services` returns service and contract details; `request_quote` submits a job for human screening and a fixed-price offer; `create_task` accepts the offer; `get_status` retrieves progress and evidence; and `confirm_delivery` accepts the result or opens a dispute. Listing services and requesting a quote are open. Other tools require the `access_token` returned by `request_quote`. A person reviews every request, and safety-critical parts require a separate written engineering agreement.

## When to use it
- request fabrication of a physical part
- get an item measured and receive a report
- arrange hardware assembly or device testing in Czechia
- ship an item with tracking and customs paperwork
- verify a location in person and collect photos

## Example prompts
- Find a service for making this part and request a fixed-price quote.
- Arrange a dimensional check of this part with calipers and return the report.
- Request an on-site address check in the Czech Republic, then report the task status and evidence.
