Machine contract — free beta

PILOT STATUS   OPEN — bounded real external machine beta
PRICE          FREE BETA (no payment, billing, metering or subscription exists)
ACCESS         FOUNDER-REVIEWED (no self-service issuance, no guaranteed approval)
REQUEST URL    POST /api/public/weirdo/v1/access-request
ELIGIBLE USE   lawful public-web observation; pricing / offer-page intelligence experiments

Little Weirdo is an experimental machine-to-machine web change detection and commercial change intelligence service. Machines and operators may request bounded beta access through the public request endpoint below. It is the only onboarding path.

Current limitations: no SLA or response-time commitment; no automated alerts, notifications or scheduling; commercial interpretation is experimental, is not guaranteed for any page, and has not yet been proven end to end over an authenticated external path; no private or credentialed target access; no payment or billing; bounded per-credential rate limits; beta credentials may be revoked at any time.

Real external pilot activity is measured separately from founder, internal, test and simulated traffic. Nothing here claims proven demand, willingness to pay, production reliability or demonstrated interpretation accuracy.

Observation is deterministic evidence: bounded text extraction, a content fingerprint, and arithmetic comparison against the previous observation (BASELINE_CREATED, NO_CHANGE, CONTENT_CHANGED). It never claims meaning.

Interpretation is derived inference over already-persisted observations. It never refetches a page and never decides whether a change occurred. Claims that cannot be traced verbatim to observed before/after text are discarded.

A founder-issued machine credential is required on every call. There is no public signup and no customer account system. Send it as a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer wdo_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# or
X-Weirdo-Api-Key: wdo_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Missing, malformed, unknown or revoked credentials are refused with HTTP 401. Credentials are stored only as hashes and are shown exactly once, at issuance.

Access is founder-reviewed during the beta. There is no self-service credential issuance and no automatic approval. A machine without a credential can ask for one here:

GET  /api/public/weirdo/v1/access-request   # machine-readable request contract
POST /api/public/weirdo/v1/access-request
{"consumerName":"…","contact":"…","intendedUse":"…","agentOrSystem":"… optional"}

200 {
  "ok": true,
  "requestId": "…uuid…",
  "status": "pending",
  "message": "Access request received for founder review.",
  "credentialIssued": false
}

Provide who is asking, a reachable contact, and what you intend to observe or interpret. Do not include secrets, API keys, existing credentials or payment details in the request.

Submitting does not guarantee approval, and no credential is ever returned by this endpoint. If access is granted, the credential is delivered out of band to the contact supplied. There is no response-time commitment.

Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint (protocol revision 2025-06-18), with two tools: observe_public_page and interpret_commercial_change.

POST https://weirdo-genesis-watch.lovable.app/api/public/weirdo/v1/mcp
Accept: application/json, text/event-stream
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer wdo_...

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}

A GET on the same URL returns a machine-readable discovery manifest (endpoints, auth scheme, protocol version, tool contract).

}

Requires two persisted observations for the target with a deterministic CONTENT_CHANGED verdict. Otherwise: OBSERVATION_PAIR_UNAVAILABLE or INTERPRETATION_NOT_AUTHORIZED, with no model call and no cost.

A CONTENT_CHANGED verdict proves the content differs — not that the difference matters. When evidence does not support a commercial claim, the response is INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE with an empty changes array. That is a truthful answer, not a failure. There is no guarantee that any page contains commercial intelligence.

• Public, non-credentialed http/https pages only.
• Private, loopback, link-local and internal addresses are refused.
• Redirects, response size and request timeouts are bounded.
• Do not use this to circumvent access controls, paywalls or terms of service.

• Free beta. No payment, metering, subscription or billing capability exists.
• Per-credential daily call ceiling, separate interpretation ceiling, bounded concurrency.
• Commercial interpretation covers pricing / commercial-offer pages only.
• No SLA, no uptime guarantee, no historical export, no notifications.
• Interfaces may change while the beta lasts.
