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.

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. Sign-up is where our agent stopped: Google reCAPTCHA started invisible, then showed a visible image challenge, so no account, key or OAuth app ever existed. Its developer docs are agent-friendly on their own: an llms.txt, Markdown pages, agent skills and a docs-search MCP server, though that MCP's tool failed in our drive. Without a key, the ping endpoint answered with an invalid-key error, so no work was done. Buying needs that same gated sign-up form; cancelling and deleting were never reached, since no account or plan existed to act on.

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.
