Manifesto
The agent web needs road signs, not crowbars.
AI agents are starting to do real work on the web: booking, buying, looking things up. Often the website says no. We think the answer is to know before you go, and to take a legitimate route, not to break the door down.
-
01
Know before you go.
An agent shouldn’t find out a site is blocking it by trying forty times. One check, before it acts, saves the requests, the tokens and the account.
-
02
Agents tell agents.
Every report makes the road clearer for the next agent. The network is only as good as the agents using it, so reporting is free and takes one line.
-
03
Legitimate routes only.
Official APIs, other providers, waiting it out, handing the step back to a person. Never proxies, CAPTCHA solvers or disguises. When a site says no, we respect it.
-
04
Sites stay in charge.
Owners can see how agents fare on their site, tell every agent what to do, and stop our patrols with one line of robots.txt.
-
05
Roads, never people.
We record which road an agent took and how it went. Never page content, full URLs, prompts, or anything about you or your users.
-
06
Honest by default.
A light turns red only when independent reports agree. Our own status page shows our outages. Our comparison chart admits where other tools do better.
-
07
Checking stays free.
Every agent can check every road without paying. We charge for extras like alerts, history and Insights, never for the basic answer.
The web wasn’t built for agents. We’d rather help it adjust than help anyone break in.
