The agent reads live JSON Schemas and side-effect flags instead of guessing what the service can do.

THE AGENT
KEEPS GOING.
An external agent owns the goal and sequence. ActionDock turns each requested operation into a durable job and returns verifiable state for the next reasoning step.
01AGENTChooses one bounded action
02ACTIONDOCKValidates policy and queues work
03EVIDENCEPersists result and terminal state
04AGENTConsumes evidence and continues
THE EXECUTION CONTRACT
One action.
One durable result.
ActionDock is not a hidden orchestrator. It is the control boundary that makes long-running agent work recoverable and inspectable.
Create an idempotent job
A stable key makes a retry resolve to the same request. Shared workflow metadata groups the sequence without moving orchestration into ActionDock.
run_actionStop at the write boundary
An external write exposes its exact method, path, query, and body before anything changes.

A signed callback or authenticated poll returns the terminal job, structured result, report artifact, and actionable error.
