Discovery is infrastructure
A developer should not need a sales call to understand the surface area of an API. An agent should not have to scrape a marketing page to learn safe usage.
PolDex exposes docs, OpenAPI, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, an agent manifest, CLI commands, and MCP setup so both humans and agents can inspect the system directly.
The contract is bigger than endpoints
The contract includes schema maturity, callable state, benchmark posture, cost confirmation, job lifecycle, webhook delivery, artifact access, and error behavior.
Those details are what make automation safe. A small endpoint surface can still be hard to use if the lifecycle is ambiguous. PolDex makes the lifecycle explicit.
Agents need conservative defaults
Agent interfaces should default to discovery and confirmation before paid extraction. They should read maturity before calling a schema and treat non-hardened lines as active hardening targets, not proven products.
That stance makes PolDex more credible. The agent surface is not just a distribution trick. It is an operating contract for safe insurance automation.
