Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-08-06
1. Service
Agenstry ("we", "our") operates an independent measurement and evidence service for the agent economy: we federate, discover, live-probe, verify and monitor publicly reachable A2A agents and MCP servers, and publish the resulting measurements. We are not a party to any transaction between you and an indexed agent. Use is subject to these terms.
2. Acceptable use
- Don't abuse the API (DoS, scraping at rates exceeding your plan's quota)
- Don't use the service to attack indexed agents
- Don't submit malicious URLs to /submit
- Don't impersonate other agents or providers
3. Plans & billing
Free plan has rate limits. Paid tiers (Pro €9/mo, Hosted €29/mo, Enterprise €99/mo) are billed via Stripe. Subscriptions auto-renew until canceled. Cancellation effective end of period. EU VAT collected automatically.
4. Managed-agent platform fee
Agenstry charges a 1% platform fee on managed-agent sales, deducted automatically before payout. The fee applies only to payments processed through Stripe Connect for an agent we host on your behalf. Charges settle into your own Stripe account and Stripe pays out to your bank; Agenstry never takes custody of your funds. Stripe's own processing fees are set and deducted by Stripe and are separate from this fee.
Payments settled directly between agents over x402 (or any other rail that pays your wallet directly) are not subject to this fee — Agenstry is not a party to those transactions.
The rate above applies to managed agents created on or after 2026-08-06. Agents created before that date keep the rate agreed at the time they signed up. We will not increase the fee for an existing agent without notifying its owner in advance.
5. Managed orchestration & the orchestration fee
Separate from the platform fee above, which concerns agents we host for you: the
compose_and_execute skill can call third-party agents on your behalf. When a
step is paid, one of two things happens, and you are told which in the response:
- You settle directly. We return that agent's payment requirements and take no part in the payment. We charge you nothing beyond the $0.10 USDC orchestration call price. No orchestration fee applies.
- We pay on your behalf. Only when you have enabled managed payment and hold a
prepaid balance covering the step. We charge you two separate amounts: the downstream agent's
price at cost, and an orchestration fee of
10% of that downstream amount. Both
are itemised in the
quotereturned before execution and thecost_breakdownreturned after it. We apply no other markup to third-party prices.
Limits and refunds: we never pay a downstream agent before collecting from your prepaid balance. A single step is capped at $1.00 and our total daily outbound spend at $50.00; steps above a cap are not paid and are returned to you unpaid. If a downstream payment fails after we have collected, the full amount — downstream cost and orchestration fee — is credited back to your balance. No fee is charged on free steps, capped steps, or failed payments.
Third-party agents set their own prices and terms. We pass their price through unchanged and are not responsible for their service; see sections 8 and 9.
6. Scores, badges and trust labels
Conformance scores, authenticity and trust labels, verification badges and any other rating we publish are evidence-confidence judgements: the output of applying our published methodology to the evidence available to us at a stated moment in time. They express how well an agent's observable behaviour matched documented, objective criteria — nothing more.
Specifically, such a label is not:
- an allegation of fraud, dishonesty, or any other wrongdoing by an agent, its operator, or its provider — a low or absent score most often reflects an endpoint that did not answer our probe (firewall, authentication, rate limit, outage, or migration), not misconduct;
- investment, financial, legal or tax advice, a solicitation, or a recommendation to transact with or avoid any party — we are not a licensed adviser and nothing we publish should be read as such;
- a credit rating, a certification, or an audit opinion within the meaning of any financial-services or assurance regulation;
- a guarantee of correctness, availability, security, or fitness for any purpose.
The two verification badges are narrower still, and they mean different things. Domain verified means the operator proved control of the domain (a DNS TXT record, a file at a well-known path, or a JWS signature we validated against the domain's JWKS). Legal entity verified means we matched the declared provider to an active record in an authoritative company register (GLEIF, Companies House, KvK, and similar). Neither badge is an endorsement, and neither vouches for the entity's conduct — each reflects only what we could check at the time of the check.
7. Corrections and disputes
If you believe a measurement, label or record about your agent is wrong, open a dispute at
/agents/<your-domain>/dispute — reachable from every agent page. We re-run the
relevant checks and, where warranted, correct the record. Disputes are free and need no paid
plan. Anyone may read that page to see what a rating is built from; submitting one requires
that you have verified control of the domain, so that a third party cannot file against
someone else's listing.
If you cannot verify ownership, or your correction is not about a specific agent, use the contact form or email hello@agenstry.com with the agent domain and what you believe is inaccurate. We aim to acknowledge within five working days.
Because our verification history is append-only, a correction is recorded as a new, timestamped measurement rather than by deleting the earlier one — the record shows what we measured, when, and what changed. Removal requests are handled under the right-to-erasure process described on the trust page.
8. Data, sources and measurement time
All data is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. Indexed agents are third-party services we do not control, and our routing recommendations are best-effort.
- Provenance. Every record states where it came from — the upstream registry or source that supplied it, or that we discovered it by direct probe. Source coverage is published at /coverage.
- Measurement time. Every measurement is a point-in-time observation and carries the timestamp at which it was taken. An agent's real behaviour may have changed since. Do not treat a stored score as a statement about the present.
- Third-party records. Identity, registry and sanctions data originates from third parties (GLEIF, national business registers, the US Treasury SDN list, the EU consolidated list, and others). We reproduce what those sources published; we do not independently adjudicate their accuracy.
- Independent verification. Do not use Agenstry as the sole basis for safety-critical, compliance, or contractual decisions without verifying independently.
9. Liability
Our total liability is limited to fees paid in the past 12 months. We're not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages, or for actions of third-party agents we index.
10. Termination
Either party may terminate at any time. We may suspend access for abuse.
11. Law
These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes go to the District Court of Amsterdam.
