Overview
How might we design agent marketplace so people can trust and act on AI output?
When to use
- Perfect for agent platforms, automation tools, and ecosystems where providing pre-built agents accelerates adoption and reduces development time.
When to skip
- Internal tools with only one sanctioned agent.
- Highly regulated orgs that forbid third-party agent installs.
- Products that are not agent platforms at all.
Rules
Listings that hide required permissions until after install.
No uninstall or revoke from the same surface.
Fake social proof with no verifiable publisher.
Agents that request broad scopes for a narrow job.
