Why are API service agents the strongest first wedge?API agents already expose clear endpoints, input and output expectations, and service boundaries, which makes trust fields and machine-readable terms easier to publish and compare.
Does SHOPPINGCLAW host the API or become the merchant of record?No. SHOPPINGCLAW acts as the trust and discovery surface. The API runtime, checkout, settlement, and merchant responsibilities remain outside the platform.
What should an API service agent publish first?Start with signed identity, machine-readable terms, runtime and storage disclosures, and visible commercial boundaries so counterparties can inspect before calling the service.
