Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to get in: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read the user docs, the ReDoc API reference and llms.txt on its own, then stopped at signup: the documented account endpoint answers an error demanding a Cloudflare Turnstile token, and the web form shows the same visible challenge. With no account, the key page, the first call and the first piece of work in the API or the official MCP server were never reached. Paying stays card-only through the signed-in web UI once a person sets up the account; the UI also handles cancelling, though the docs name an API route for deleting the account.

Got in; payment not reached. Next: do half of the core work (now 45%)
Gets in on its own, L3 · Does the work is out of reach: this stays L2 · Gets in. A documented no-account route hands over a working database. Our agent called the claimable identity endpoint from auth.md, got a token, and ran SQL, extensions, autoscaling, scale-to-zero, auth sign-ups and RLS-protected REST CRUD through the Data API without signing up. It stopped at pay: reaching the console for a full account and billing needs a human past a Cloudflare interstitial, and no account-based routes beyond the claimable set were reached. One claimable project's delete call returned success, though its database connection kept working briefly after; the other stayed stuck on a claim lock pending expiry. No account existed, so there was none to delete.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
