AI agents and your listing
How AI agents read Quotrr: free anonymized price reads, scoped expiring tokens for anything done for a person, every query logged, and you can opt out.
AI agents are starting to do real errands for people, including finding and booking trades. Quotrr is built so an agent can read your listing in a way that is useful to a homeowner and safe for you. This article explains the agent surface, the consent model, and how to opt out if you want no part of it.
The agent surface
Quotrr publishes two machine-readable entry points that agents look for:
- /llms.txt tells an agent what Quotrr is and where to look, the same way a sitemap orients a search crawler.
- /.well-known/agents.json describes what an agent is allowed to do, under what terms. It is the rulebook an honest agent reads before it acts.
Together they make the rules explicit instead of leaving an agent to guess. An agent that respects them stays inside the lines below.
Anonymized price reads are free
An agent can read anonymized pricing without a token and without cost. If a homeowner's assistant asks what a job like theirs runs in your area, an agent can pull that without identifying anyone or booking anything. Free, anonymous reads keep Quotrr useful to the people asking the questions, and they cost you nothing.
Anything done for a person needs a scoped, expiring, signed token
The line is sharp. Reading anonymized prices is open. Doing something for a specific person, requesting a quote in their name, booking a job, acting on their behalf, requires a scoped, expiring, signed token.
- Scoped means the token is good for one defined action, not a blank check.
- Expiring means it stops working after its window, so a leaked token does not stay dangerous.
- Signed means it is verifiable, so you know the request is the real one it claims to be and not a forgery.
That is the consent model. Nothing happens on a person's behalf without a token that says it was allowed.
Every agent query is logged
Every agent query against your listing is logged. You can see what asked, what it asked for, and when. The point is that automated traffic is not invisible. If an agent is reading your prices or acting on a token, there is a record, and you can look at it.
You can opt out
If you want no part of the agent surface, you can opt out, and agents will not transact with your listing. Opting out is a setting, not a negotiation. The default is built to be safe, and the off switch is there if you would rather not participate at all.
Why this exists
Agents are going to read business listings whether or not a business is ready. Quotrr's stance is to make the terms explicit, keep the free reads anonymous, gate every real action behind consent, log the traffic, and give you an off switch. The same proof that wins a homeowner, your Verified Outcomes and your public profile, is what an agent reads on a homeowner's behalf.
