Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
L1 · Needs a person describes Kit for an agent today. Developer docs are agent-friendly: llms.txt, Markdown pages, OpenAPI, a read-only docs MCP our agent reached on its own. Sign-up is where it stopped: app.kit.com/users/signup showed a Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' challenge that never cleared, so no account, no key, and no call to the API past an unauthenticated 401. A person has to sign up, verify, and make the key in the web app before an agent can do any core email work through the API or the paid Kit MCP. No plan was started, so paying and cancelling were never reached.

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person today: an agent cannot sign up on its own, so the drive stays at L1. Our agent stopped at the sign-up form itself: a reCAPTCHA script loads but shows no visible challenge, yet the last of its steps requires a phone number, and our agent has none, so it never created an account. It never reached a key, a call or any work: no MCP connection, no API request, nothing built. Paying, cancelling and deleting were all out of reach too, since upgrading and billing live behind that same sign-up a person must complete.

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.
