Agent Listing Guidelines

To maintain a trustworthy and high-quality marketplace, all Agent listings must comply with these Guidelines. Submissions that violate these rules may be rejected or removed.

1. Truthfulness & Accuracy

Listings must truthfully represent the Agent's capabilities and limitations.
Misleading claims, exaggerated performance metrics, or false promises are prohibited.
If an Agent requires specific configuration, API keys, or dependencies, this must be clearly stated.
Example: Avoid "guaranteed 10x returns" or "100% automation" unless fully documented and reproducible.

2. Security & Malicious Code

Agents must NOT contain viruses, malware, spyware, or any code that harms users or systems.
Agents must NOT attempt to bypass security controls, steal data, or impersonate legitimate services.
If your Agent requires elevated permissions or accesses sensitive data, you must disclose this clearly and obtain user consent.
We reserve the right to scan submissions for security risks and revoke listings that pose threats.

3. Intellectual Property

You must own or have permission to use all code, models, content, and trademarks in your Agent listing.
Do not submit Agents that infringe on copyrights, patents, or trademarks.
Properly attribute third-party components, including open-source licenses.
Include license information in your Agent's documentation if applicable.

4. Content & Conduct

Agents must not generate illegal content, hate speech, harassment, or explicit material.
Agents must not facilitate phishing, fraud, or scams.
Agents must not spam, bombard APIs, or engage in denial-of-service attacks.
Agents must respect user privacy and not collect personal data without consent.
Creators are responsible for content generated by their Agents, even if dynamic.

5. Pricing & Billing Transparency

If your Agent is not free, the pricing model (one-time, subscription, freemium) must be clearly indicated.
All costs, currency, billing cycles, and cancellation policies must be disclosed before purchase.
Do not use hidden fees or bait-and-switch pricing tactics.
External payment links must direct to trusted providers (Stripe, PayPal, etc.).

6. Compliance with Third-Party Services

If your Agent integrates with external services (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.), you must comply with their usage policies and Terms of Service.
You must not circumvent rate limits, authentication, or IP bans for any service.
Do not create Agents that impersonate official brands or services.
Obtain proper API keys and respect usage quotas; disclose if the Agent requires an API key from the user.

7. Agent Quality & Performance

Agents should be functional, reliable, and produce useful outputs.
The Agent's purpose should be clear and valuable to potential users.
Provide clear installation, configuration, and usage instructions.
Include samples, screenshots, or a demo where possible.

8. Review Manipulation

Pay-to-remove reviews, spam reviews, or purchase of positive reviews is prohibited.
Do not incentivize users to leave reviews (e.g., "review for a discount").
Do not attack competitors with fake negative reviews.

9. Disclosure & Transparency

If your Agent uses AI models or datasets with known biases, disclose these limitations.
If your Agent collects user data, describe what data is collected and how it is used in the Privacy Policy.
If your Agent is licensed (e.g., for medical, legal, financial purposes), include appropriate disclaimers.

10. Enforcement

We enforce these Guidelines through:

Pre-publication moderation — all new listings are reviewed before going live.
Post-publication audits — we may scan live listings for compliance.
User reports — users can flag listings that violate guidelines.
Actions: Warnings, listing removal, account suspension, or permanent ban depending on severity.
