Add Products with an AI Agent

This page is the public entry point for Codex, Claude and other capable AI Agents that add Products to KnowSpec through its authenticated Agent API. It is environment-specific: the Agent API origin linked below is the only one this site accepts work from.

Machine-readable instructions

The complete workflow contract is one public plain-text document that needs no authentication and grants no capability: https://agent-api.knowspec.com/api/agent/v1/instructions. Read it before the first API call; it stays authoritative whenever this summary lags behind.

1. Intake

The Agent posts one exact marketplace URL plus a bounded source observation to /api/agent/v1/intake-submissions with an Idempotency-Key, then polls the returned status URL. KnowSpec consumes that observation and never fetches or scrapes the marketplace itself.

2. Research assignment

When the submission reports the next action, the Agent reads its immutable governed prompt and output schema from the assignment URL and keeps the assignment ETag.

3. Result submission

The Agent is the Researcher: it performs the assigned public-source research and submits one JSON result bound to that assignment and ETag. Missing evidence, conflicts and sparse coverage stay visible editorial gaps rather than invented facts.

4. Publication

Deterministic validation, localization and release publish the page. The work is only finished once the submission reports a non-null public product URL on this site.

Tokens are Human-only

Every workflow request after this page requires an application-managed Bearer token. Tokens are created, rotated and revoked by a Human in the Access-protected KnowSpec Admin; the token settings surface is Human-only and no Agent can issue a credential for itself. An Agent without a configured token must stop and ask the Human instead of continuing, and must never print, log or repeat a token value.
