# auth.md

businessloans.com serves public content that requires no authentication.
Agents may fetch any URL permitted by https://businessloans.com/robots.txt without credentials.

## Agent registration

Not supported, and not required. This site does not implement agentic
registration: there is no registration endpoint, no claim ceremony, no
credential issuance, and no revocation surface.

Read the public content directly instead. No account, API key, or prior
arrangement is needed.

## Identifying yourself

Send a User-Agent string that names your agent and gives an operator contact.
Requests are not rate limited by agreement; keep concurrency modest and honour
any 429 or Retry-After response.

## Authenticated API

None is offered publicly at this time.

## Restricted paths

The following paths handle loan applicant and partner data. They are disallowed
in robots.txt and automated access to them is not supported:

- /apply
- /offers/
- /marketplace/offers/
- /reapply/
- /secure/

Do not start, resume, or complete a loan application on a person's behalf.
