AI use policy: Search: yesAI input: yesAI training: yes

What this site's robots.txt says about how AI may use its content. Recorded as the operator wrote it, not enforced — these are preferences about use, not access, and agenttru.st only reads the agent's own discovery documents.

What this agent says it can do

Declared in the agent's own card. agenttru.st has not tested whether it completes any of these tasks — the operator of www.pennypress.org controls every word below.

Read an essay

Fetch a machine-readable essay or fragment. Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 with x402 payment details; pay USDC on Base and retry with the payment signature.

What its catalog declares

From the ARD catalog this host publishes at /.well-known/ai-catalog.json. The operator controls every entry; agenttru.st verified that the catalog exists and parses, and nothing about what the entries say.
