AgentGate guides: agent access policies, in plain language
Three short guides on the machine-readable agent-access policy standard — what the file at /.well-known/agent-policy.json declares, how to write one that says what you mean, and how it differs from robots.txt. Every guide ends at the same place: the free generator and the free validator.
What Is an Agent Access Policy (v0.1)?
An agent access policy is the JSON file at /.well-known/agent-policy.json declaring which AI agents may use a site, what they may do, and on what terms.
How to Tell AI Agents What They May Do
Tell AI agents what they may do in five steps: set a default, name agents, list allowed actions, set terms, then publish and validate agent-policy.json free.
Agent Policy vs robots.txt, Compared
robots.txt tells crawlers which paths they may fetch. An agent policy names which AI agents may act, what actions, on what terms — the full comparison.
The standard itself
These guides explain the format; the normative text is the AGENT-POLICY v0.1 spec samples — a bank that blocks all agents, a blog that is open with attribution, and a store that welcomes shopping agents. The full fleet of Ingenious AI platforms is at getingeniousai.com.
