Summary

This pull request adds TaskMarketTool to crewai-tools as a focused adapter for public TaskMarket discovery, task detail inspection, submission retrieval, no-write requester-task drafting, and a deliberately gated local CLI delegation path.

The default operations use public read-only requests. The draft_task action returns a payload and command preview without creating external state. The only task-creation path requires an exact confirmation phrase, a caller-supplied maximum-spend value that covers the requested reward, and an independently configured first-party TaskMarket CLI. The tool does not accept, store, or expose wallet keys, seed phrases, passwords, tokens, or payment credentials.

Changes

  • Add TaskMarketTool and its package exports.
  • Add focused offline tests for discovery parsing, task details, submission retrieval, draft behavior, validation, and guarded creation delegation.
  • Add a usage and safety-boundaries README for the tool.

Validation

uv run pytest tests/tools/taskmarket_tool/test_taskmarket_tool.py -q
9 passed

uv run ruff check src/crewai_tools/tools/taskmarket_tool tests/tools/taskmarket_tool
All checks passed

uv run ruff format --check src/crewai_tools/tools/taskmarket_tool tests/tools/taskmarket_tool

The branch was rebased onto the current upstream main before this pull request. The change is one logical tool addition, although its 825-line diff will be classified as size/XL under the repository guidance.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c3f0d

The new TaskMarket integration includes a gated path that could create external tasks, but its safety test does not verify that the CLI is never invoked or external state is not created. This should be covered by a test or explicitly accepted before merging.

Inline comments:
In `@lib/crewai-tools/src/crewai_tools/tools/taskmarket_tool/README.md`:
- Line 111: Remove the unused Markdown reference definition “[3]” from the
README, unless the document is updated to include a citation that uses it; keep
the remaining reference definitions unchanged.
- Line 5: Update the TaskMarket tool documentation to avoid claiming
confirmation freshness, since the implementation only compares the supplied
confirmation with CREATE_CONFIRMATION_PHRASE and does not record or consume it.
Replace “fresh exact confirmation phrase” with wording that accurately describes
exact confirmation, unless taskmarket_tool.py implements one-time confirmation
state.
- Around line 21-32: Update the TaskMarketTool README to remove “not yet merged
upstream” and “eventual upstream package” PR-state wording. Describe how to run
the repository checkout and how to import the installed TaskMarketTool package
using timeless, release-independent language.
- Line 92: Update the failure-outcome documentation near the unknown-settlement
statement to match the behavior implemented in the TaskMarket tool execution
flow: timeouts return text indicating settlement is unknown, non-zero exits
return an unsuccessful-attempt message, and missing task IDs return JSON with
status_check_required. Remove the claim that an explicit unknown-settlement
status is returned, and preserve the guidance not to retry ambiguous outcomes.

In `@lib/crewai-tools/src/crewai_tools/tools/taskmarket_tool/taskmarket_tool.py`:
- Around line 218-224: Validate that the tasks value obtained in _get is a list
before calling len or _task_summary; for null or any other non-list value,
return the existing unexpected-shape error. Add a behavior-focused unit test
covering an invalid tasks response shape.
- Around line 372-386: Update the task creation flow around subprocess.run to
detect embedded NUL characters in description, deliverables, or tags before
invoking the CLI, then return a clear no-attempt error without calling the CLI.
Add a behavior test covering NUL-containing input that asserts the method does
not raise and the CLI is not invoked.

109-115: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert that draft mode does not invoke the CLI.

test_draft_never_runs_cli does not mock subprocess.run or assert that it was not called. If draft handling regresses to invoke the CLI and still returns the preview, this test will not detect the external write.

Proposed test hardening
-def test_draft_never_runs_cli() -> None:
+def test_draft_never_runs_cli(monkeypatch: pytest.MonkeyPatch) -> None:
+    run = MagicMock()
+    monkeypatch.setattr(subprocess, "run", run)
     tool = TaskMarketTool()
     ...
     assert result["exact_confirmation_required"] == CREATE_CONFIRMATION_PHRASE
+    run.assert_not_called()

As per coding guidelines, **/*test*.py tests must focus on behavior rather than implementation details; the PR objective defines draft behavior as returning a preview without creating external state.
