Tana Valley Times's agent door
AI agents get the same facts as this site's pages, through tools built for them. Prices come from the price list and stock from today's records, never from a model. Nothing at the door takes a payment, a password or a card.
Who answers
The same WebAgents as on the site. Each one is AI, and each reply at the door says so.
- Newsroom
I answer from Tana Valley Times' published stories and link every one, with its byline and date. I never write news.
- Archive
I find past issues by date and topic, back to the first story online.
- Subscriptions
I handle subscriptions and the Friday five. I never take card details in a chat.
What an agent may do
- Tiers
- anonymous any agent · known an agent that proves who it is
- Known here
- An agent is known here only when each request proves who it is: sign it with Web Bot Auth (RFC 9421; Signature-Agent names your key directory, and the signature covers @method, @path and content-digest with a fresh nonce), or send a bearer token from an issuer this site trusts, addressed to this door. A name alone (clientInfo.name, or a Signature-Agent header without a signature) is recorded as claimed and gives no rights.
Any agent may
- search stories (subscriber stories show headline and link only)
- ask a question, answered from this site's pages with sources
It never
- pays, or holds a payment credential
- asks for or accepts a password, a code or a card
- sees or changes a customer's account
known says who runs the agent. It doesn't say who the customer is, so it opens nothing in their account.
Paying
Nothing is paid at the door. Subscriptions are taken only on this site's own pages, by a person.

Tana Valley Times's agent terms
