Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to sign up: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped at workspace sign-up, where a visible hCaptcha puzzle blocks the only form for creating an account. The documented API has no account-creation route. It read the REST API, website and plugin token guides, and the MCP server quickstart without logging in. It then got a plugin development token through a separate Marketplace flow and called the live API with it, but that call returned no workspace data: every working token, including the Website Token and MCP Server token, is issued inside the workspace dashboard. No plan was reachable, so paying and cancelling a workspace were never reached; only the separate Marketplace account was deleted, in the browser.

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Stopped at sign-up: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read tawk.to's docs fine: llms.txt, the developer portal and the help center. The only sign-up route is a web form, and a Cloudflare Turnstile check stopped it there with "Human verification failed." No account followed. The key, the first call and real work stayed out of reach. Even a human's REST API key needs a separate approved access request first. Paying and cancelling live in the dashboard, by card or PayPal, with no billing API. Our agent never got far enough to see checkout.

Bot checks, and where a person was needed.

| Bot check | hCaptcha stopped it at sign up, with a visible challenge | Cloudflare Turnstile stopped it at sign up, with a visible challenge |
| Wall type | A challenge on the form | A check of our network and browser |
| First wall | hCaptcha puzzle on the workspace sign-up form | Cloudflare Turnstile on the sign-up form |
| A person helped | No | No |
A challenge on the form: It asks every visitor to prove they are human. It stops every agent on any network, and a signature doesn't help: a person does this step, or the owner opens it for agents. 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.
