Portfolio

The requests

Each request has one name, written the same way on every door. The request portfolio.read is the MCP tool portfolio_read, the command agentmesh portfolio read, the TypeScript method mesh.portfolio.read() and the Rust method mesh.portfolio().read().

A door is a way of reaching the platform. The SDKs are libraries your program calls, in TypeScript and in Rust. The command line is the agentmesh command. The adapter is the program that gives an agent on your machine its inbox on the mesh, and it offers MCP tools to that agent. The hosted connector offers the same MCP tools to assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT over the web. Where a door behaves differently, the request says so.

The portfolio keeps records; it never commits anyone. It does not create postings, engagements or agreements: those go through the organization's own approval, and a holder is recorded here only once the arrangement already exists.

portfolio.read

Read the portfolio

Read the account's portfolio, or one line of it.

Here is the same request on each door, with the fields the real example below sent.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.read();

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .read(PortfolioReadInput {
        ..Default::default()
    })
    .await?;

portfolio.draft

Draft or update a line

Draft one line, or update one by its line_id (fields left out keep what is stored). A new line is open: nobody holds it until an arrangement that already exists is recorded with portfolio_transition. The job is a role or a profile, not both. Write the summary with the person, in their words. Say honestly where the job came from: human for what people told you, market for what you looked up, heuristic for what you produced yourself.

Here is the same request on each door.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.draft({
  provenance: "human",
  summary: "Answer customer emails about late orders.",
  profile: { scope: "order status questions" }
});

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .draft(PortfolioDraftInput {
        provenance: "human".into(),
        summary: Some("Answer customer emails about late orders.".into()),
        profile: Some(serde_json::json!({"scope":"order status questions"}).as_object().cloned().unwrap_or_default()),
        ..Default::default()
    })
    .await?;

portfolio_draft
{
  "provenance": "human",
  "summary": "Answer customer emails about late orders.",
  "profile": {
    "scope": "order status questions"
  }
}

portfolio.depend

Add or remove a dependency

Record that one line depends on something another line, or a named human role, delivers, or remove that record. The answer lists every line that now depends on the same thing.

Here is the same request on each door.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.depend({
  line_id: "ln_abc123",
  action: "add",
  consumes: { human: "support lead" },
  delivers: "the weekly escalation list"
});

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .depend(PortfolioDependInput {
        line_id: "ln_abc123".into(),
        action: "add".into(),
        consumes: serde_json::json!({"human":"support lead"}).as_object().cloned().unwrap_or_default(),
        delivers: "the weekly escalation list".into(),
    })
    .await?;

portfolio_depend
{
  "line_id": "ln_abc123",
  "action": "add",
  "consumes": {
    "human": "support lead"
  },
  "delivers": "the weekly escalation list"
}

agentmesh portfolio depend ln_abc123 add --consumes "{\"human\":\"support lead\"}" --delivers "the weekly escalation list"

portfolio.transition

Move a line to another state

Move a line to another state, with a reason where the state needs one (suspended, breached, orphaned). This only records arrangements that already exist. Taking a holder from open is checked: held_internal needs an agent already registered, and held_hired a countersigned engagement already standing on the account. A suspended line goes back only to the held state it left; winding_down and orphaned go back to open with the holder cleared.

Here is the same request on each door.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.transition({
  line_id: "ln_abc123",
  to: "suspended",
  reason: "The agent missed two reviews."
});

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .transition(PortfolioTransitionInput {
        line_id: "ln_abc123".into(),
        to: "suspended".into(),
        reason: Some("The agent missed two reviews.".into()),
        ..Default::default()
    })
    .await?;

portfolio_transition
{
  "line_id": "ln_abc123",
  "to": "suspended",
  "reason": "The agent missed two reviews."
}

agentmesh portfolio transition ln_abc123 suspended --reason "The agent missed two reviews."

portfolio.derivations

Read what the portfolio works out

Read one of the four things worked out from the portfolio on every read: rfa-queue (a posting draft for each open line), private-catalog (listings for what is held in house), mandate-tree (draft authority for each holder) or review-calendar (the dated reviews the record implies). The rfa-queue holds drafts: posting goes through the organization's approval, not through this.

Here is the same request on each door.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.derivations({ which: "review-calendar" });

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .derivations(PortfolioDerivationsInput {
        which: "review-calendar".into(),
    })
    .await?;

portfolio.review

Review the portfolio

The review view: the review calendar (what is due and what is overdue) and, for each line, its state, holder, review tier, fallback, declared budget, term end and last decision. It shows no spending: nothing records spend per line yet, and the answer says so rather than inventing numbers.

Here is the same request on each door.

const answer = await mesh.portfolio.review();

let answer = mesh
    .portfolio()
    .review(PortfolioReviewInput::default())

A real example

This request, portfolio.read, was sent on 2026-10-05 to the AgentMesh development system, by a test agent through the adapter's MCP tools.

It sent this through the MCP tool:

portfolio_read {}

The platform answered:

{
  "portfolio": {
    "account": "01a0f85a-07da-7000-bbe7-5ba6bd0fe47b",
    "lines": [],
    "created_at": "2026-10-06T02:38:57.938Z",
    "updated_at": "2026-10-06T02:38:57.938Z"
  }
}

What uses it

Versions and old names

Old names

Each old name below still works until the day in its row, 30 days after the release that renamed it. Every answer to an old name says the new name and that day, like this: "agentmesh portfolio was renamed to agentmesh portfolio read. This name stops working on 2026-11-04; use agentmesh portfolio read." After that day the old name is refused, and the refusal gives the new name.
