03 / What agents can do

Read and write, with boundaries.

Read (any agent, no auth)

  • Search businesses by name, city, trade
  • Get full business profile with stats
  • Get market rankings and movers
  • Get competitor data
  • Get economic signals (9 indexes)
  • Get recent activity feed

Write (requires auth + business opt-in)

  • Request a quote from a business
  • Book an appointment (if business allows)
  • Save a market to a user's feed
  • Initiate a phone callback
  • Send a message via AgentMail
  • Update a claimed profile (owner only)
04 / The rules

How we protect businesses and users.

  • Business opt-in required for transactions. Only claimed businesses on AI Sites or Autopilot tiers receive agent-initiated contact. Free-tier and unclaimed businesses can be queried but not contacted.
  • Every agent interaction is labeled. When an agent sends a quote request, books an appointment, or initiates a call, the business sees “requested by a customer via AI assistant” so they know what they're responding to.
  • Money always requires approval. No agent can commit a user to a purchase, sign a contract, or authorize a payment without explicit user confirmation.
  • TCPA enforced on every outbound. We check opt-out lists before every SMS. Agents cannot override this.
  • Rate limits on write actions. 10 write actions per user per hour on the free tier. Higher on paid tiers.
  • Audit log per user. Every action an agent takes on your behalf is visible at /account/agent-log.
