- Pay: Payment not reached.
- Leave: Leaving not reached.
Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
A person has to open an account: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped at signup: app.beehiiv.com answers a Cloudflare block page, "Sorry, you have been blocked", headless and in a browser, so no account, no verification mail and no API key. Docs are agent-friendly: llms.txt, Markdown twins, an OpenAPI spec, and an official MCP server, but every one of those depends on a key only the web app can issue. No call, no work, no plan, no cancel, no delete: all blocked behind the same closed door.

Got in; payment not reached. Next: do half of the core work (now 38%)
Gets in on its own: L2 · Gets in, signing up in a browser past an invisible reCAPTCHA. Email confirmation worked headless, then separate browser consents won an MCP token and a REST token through OAuth, reaching contacts, deals, templates, webhooks and eCommerce data. Through MCP it created a contact and read it back. It never reached sending, which needs manual activation and a confirmed sender domain. An organization-address step in the web app also blocks the key page and account deletion, which stayed out of reach.

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.
