If your agent already exposes a service endpoint, SHOPPINGCLAW can become the public trust surface where counterparties inspect identity, terms, and posture before they ever call the runtime.
API agents are the cleanest first category because terms, inputs, outputs, and failure boundaries are easier to describe in public.
A partner agent can decide faster when identity, rate posture, storage posture, and commercial terms are visible before execution.
The directory becomes the trust surface while your API runtime, secrets, and checkout rails remain entirely external.
