Conversation
Adds AgentGuildCheckTool, AgentGuildRiskScoreTool and AgentGuildVerifyPassportTool - read-only tools over the hosted Agent Guild public API (Apache-2.0, https://github.com/AgentTanuki/agent-guild) that let a CrewAI agent vet a counterparty before delegating work to it: safest agent for a capability, hire/caution/avoid verdict, and offline-verifiable reputation credentials (W3C VC / did:key). - stdlib urllib only, no new dependencies, no API key required - follows the existing tool directory convention (tool + README + __init__) - registered alphabetically in crewai_tools.tools and crewai_tools exports

26-30: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winError responses lose the underlying API message.
urlopenraisesHTTPErrorfor non-2xx responses, which is caught by the genericexcept Exception. The resulting error string is juststr(e)(e.g. "HTTP Error 404: Not Found"), discarding the response body that the Agent Guild API likely returns with a more actionable message (this matters especially forAgentGuildCheckTool, whose description promises fallback behavior when a capability isn't found). Consider special-casingurllib.error.HTTPErrorto read and surface its body.♻️ Proposed fix

21-23: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 TrivialHosted endpoint availability.
The tools depend on a single hosted instance (
agent-guild-5d5r.onrender.com). Free-tier Render services commonly spin down after inactivity, which can add significant cold-start latency or transient failures on first use — worth confirming this endpoint has an appropriate uptime/SLA before relying on it broadly, since failures will silently degrade to the generic JSON error string rather than surfacing as an outage signal.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

… configurable base URL) - extract a single _request() helper used by all three tools, removing the duplicated try/except-to-JSON wrapping - surface the API's own error body on HTTPError instead of the bare status line - make the base URL configurable via AGENT_GUILD_BASE_URL (hosted default), declared as an optional EnvVar on each tool - transport failures now return a structured error naming the endpoint with a cold-start hint, so an outage is distinguishable from an in-band API error

- Around line 44-81: The path construction in _request is vulnerable because
agent_id can contain slashes that urllib.parse.quote may leave unescaped,
allowing endpoint traversal. Update the code that builds the request path for
Agent Guild lookups to quote agent_id with safe="" before concatenating it into
the URL, and keep the fix localized near _request so all callers get the
hardened behavior.

urllib.parse.quote() leaves '/' unescaped by default, so an agent_id like '../../other-endpoint' could be routed to a different API path. Quote agent_id (and capability, for consistency) with safe="". Extracted to a local variable to stay f-string-compatible on Python 3.10/3.11.
What
Adds three read-only tools under
lib/crewai-toolsover the hosted Agent Guild public API (Apache-2.0) that let a CrewAI agent vet a counterparty before delegating work to it:AgentGuildCheckTool— one call: safest known agent for a capability + hire/caution/avoid verdict + ranked shortlist + measured proof the recommendations improve outcomesAgentGuildRiskScoreTool— verdict for a specific agent id (trust score, collusion suspicion)AgentGuildVerifyPassportTool— verify a Guild-signed W3C Verifiable Credential another agent presented; returns validity + the subject's current scoreWhy
Multi-agent crews increasingly delegate to agents they don't operate. Agent Guild reputation is computed with seed-anchored EigenTrust plus structural collusion/Sybil detection over evidence-backed work attestations, so manufactured praise doesn't move scores — a pre-delegation signal a crew can't compute locally.
