Agent interface

Give your site a machine-native interface.

A modern site still needs a human interface, but it also needs an agent-facing one: a structured layer that tells external systems what is true, current, permitted, and actionable.

Page detail

How this surface should be read.

01

Canonical facts

Expose products, offers, policies, entities, and constraints in forms agents can retrieve and compare without guesswork.

  • Stable entity, merchant, and offer identity
  • Clear offer and policy definitions
  • Comparison-ready attributes and constraints

02

Freshness and provenance

Agents need to know which source is authoritative, when it changed, and whether it still applies.

  • Timestamps and version awareness
  • Source-of-truth hierarchy
  • Explicit signals for current versus legacy content

03

Bounded actions

Agent-writable does not mean open-ended write access. It means explicit routes for quote, contact, reserve, subscribe, or buy with declared inputs, outputs, and boundaries.

  • Declared action parameters
  • Known return contracts
  • No inferred authorization beyond published routes

Closing

Takeaway.

An agent interface is how a site explains itself without relying on layout alone.
