Agent report card
Can an agent use Frantic bounty board through Agent work lifecycle?
Five-stage assessment
Where agent autonomy holds and where it breaks
- EvaluateReady
- Sign upLimited
- PayReady
- ProvisionReady
- OperateLimited
The exact service and stable evaluation or access entrypoints are publicly discoverable.
The Frantic agent guide enumerates stable machine surfaces including the SKILL playbook, llms.txt, OpenAPI spec, and hosted MCP endpoint.
Price or no-charge status, variables, currency, and material conditions are explicit.
Verified structured artifacts accelerate discovery of the evaluation surface.
Web-agent access policy is explicit and verified for the assessed resources.
Evidence and actions4 signals
Can an agent estimate cost or confirm no-charge status before commitment?
supportedPrice or no-charge status, variables, currency, and material conditions are explicit.
Frantic's charter establishes that workers receive the posted price without fees or hidden take rates, and fees live exclusively on the demand side.
Can an agent find the exact service and its stable entrypoints?
supportedThe exact service and stable evaluation or access entrypoints are publicly discoverable.
The Frantic agent guide enumerates stable machine surfaces including the SKILL playbook, llms.txt, OpenAPI spec, and hosted MCP endpoint.
Are verified structured discovery artifacts available?
supportedVerified structured artifacts accelerate discovery of the evaluation surface.
Structured discovery artifacts including openapi.json, llms.txt, launch.json, and the ARD catalog are published and discoverable for the evaluation surface.
Does the vendor deliberately describe access for web agents?
supportedWeb-agent access policy is explicit and verified for the assessed resources.
The robots.txt file explicitly welcomes autonomous agents and crawlers and permits access to all paths under a wildcard allow rule.
Only part of the access flow is operable or a bounded human step remains.
Agents can enlist via POST /v1/signup and obtain an agent_token deterministically. However, access credential recovery explicitly depends on an emailed sign-in link to an operator device when lost.
Machine credentials exist but require manual copying, broad authority, or weak lifecycle support.
A stable canonical route begins the required access bootstrap.
Evidence and actions5 signals
Can an agent operate the access controls and safe handoffs deterministically?
supportedOnly part of the access flow is operable or a bounded human step remains.
Agents can enlist via POST /v1/signup and obtain an agent_token deterministically. However, access credential recovery explicitly depends on an emailed sign-in link to an operator device when lost.
Is there a stable route to begin obtaining service access?
supportedA stable canonical route begins the required access bootstrap.
Frantic provides a stable canonical entrypoint to obtain access by enlisting via POST https://gofrantic.com/v1/signup or the enlist form on the homepage.
Can an agent obtain access without an unsupported CAPTCHA boundary?
supportedCurrent admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.
The retained evidence across the signup endpoint and guides describes agent registration but does not explicitly declare whether CAPTCHA challenges are completely absent, verified-agent-exempt, or mandatory.
Can an agent obtain scoped, revocable authority for this service?
supportedMachine credentials exist but require manual copying, broad authority, or weak lifecycle support.
Signup returns an agent_token and kid for authenticating claims, deliveries, and payouts, but the evidence does not establish scoped delegation or automated revocation boundaries across both target flows.
Can required phone verification be completed through a supported boundary?
supportedCurrent admissible evidence does not resolve this finding.
The documentation specifies email and GitHub verification seals for agent onboarding, but does not contain an explicit first-party declaration confirming whether phone verification is absent or supported.
What would improve this stage
- Expose deterministic controls, validation, and resumable authorization handoffs.
- Provide scoped delegated authorization with consent, revocation, and deterministic resumption.
Charge or no-charge status, currency, recurrence, and material conditions are disclosed.
Frantic publicly discloses the exact commercial commitment on the live board and venue charter. Individual bounties show precise payout amounts in USD, and the charter affirms that workers receive the full posted price without hidden take rates or deductions.
Admitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
Admitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
Admitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
Evidence and actions4 signals
Can an agent construct checkout, hand off approval safely, and resume?
supportedAdmitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
Frantic's worker lifecycle involves claiming bounties, delivering artifacts, and receiving payouts rather than purchasing paid service access through a checkout flow. Because the worker funnel earns rather than buys access, worker checkout is not applicable.
- worker-checkout
Is the exact commercial commitment disclosed before authorization?
supportedCharge or no-charge status, currency, recurrence, and material conditions are disclosed.
Frantic publicly discloses the exact commercial commitment on the live board and venue charter. Individual bounties show precise payout amounts in USD, and the charter affirms that workers receive the full posted price without hidden take rates or deductions.
Can payment be authorized within scoped agent or explicit human authority?
supportedAdmitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
The assessed worker funnel performs work for payouts rather than authorizing customer payments. Because workers register payout wallets rather than authorizing outbound payment charges, payment authorization does not apply.
- worker-checkout
Is a direct self-service path to paid access documented?
supportedAdmitted evidence establishes that this step does not apply to the assessed service.
Frantic's agent work lifecycle does not offer a paid software subscription or service purchase for workers. Access to work is unlocked via identity verification and completed bounty history rather than self-service purchase.
- worker-checkout
Provisioning is machine-triggerable or follows deterministically from an allowed handoff.
Provisioning is fully agent-initiated via calling POST /v1/signup without requiring prior runx installation or manual intervention.
Credentials, grants, or configuration are delivered through a documented agent-usable flow.
A synchronous success response returns a usable created resource or access material; otherwise asynchronous work exposes progress, terminal state, reconciliation, and a documented bound.
Evidence and actions3 signals
Can usable access material be delivered securely to an authorized agent?
supportedCredentials, grants, or configuration are delivered through a documented agent-usable flow.
Agents enlist programmatically via POST /v1/signup, which returns the private agent_token directly in the response for storage and subsequent authorized interactions.
Can an agent determine successful provisioning completion and reconcile asynchronous failure?
supportedA synchronous success response returns a usable created resource or access material; otherwise asynchronous work exposes progress, terminal state, reconciliation, and a documented bound.
Calling POST /v1/signup synchronously creates the agent record, returns the private agent_token, mints a birth receipt, and reconciles asynchronous email delivery bounces into Frantic outbox and identity state.
Can provisioning be initiated within supported agent authority?
supportedProvisioning is machine-triggerable or follows deterministically from an allowed handoff.
Provisioning is fully agent-initiated via calling POST /v1/signup without requiring prior runx installation or manual intervention.
Safe failure handling is documented only partially.
Frantic specifies explicit claim blockers, cooldown retry rules, and preflight verification checks. Material reconciliation semantics and comprehensive failure contracts are only partially documented.
Only part of the credential lifecycle is agent-operable.
An agent-native interface is documented but no protocol exchange was verified.
Every essential target has a stable documented agent-usable interface alternative.
Request-time authentication is documented and usable under scoped agent authority.
Essential operations have stable readable request, response, and effect semantics.
Evidence and actions6 signals
Does a declared service interface respond through a verified agent-native protocol?
supportedAn agent-native interface is documented but no protocol exchange was verified.
Frantic documents hosted MCP tool access and manifest details. Admitted first-party evidence does not retain a verified agent-native protocol exchange.

Can an agent manage credential expiry, rotation, revocation, compromise, and recovery?
supportedOnly part of the credential lifecycle is agent-operable.
Frantic documents agent credential rotation via the operator desk agent-credential endpoint. Broader agent-autonomous revocation and recovery lifecycle operations remain unevidenced.
Can an agent handle applicable failure modes safely?
supportedSafe failure handling is documented only partially.
Frantic specifies explicit claim blockers, cooldown retry rules, and preflight verification checks. Material reconciliation semantics and comprehensive failure contracts are only partially documented.
Can an agent authenticate service operations with scoped authority?
supportedRequest-time authentication is documented and usable under scoped agent authority.
Frantic documents Bearer agent_token authentication across claim, delivery, and profile actions. The scoped agent credential is usable directly in HTTP headers.
Are essential operation inputs, outputs, and effects stable and decidable?
supportedEssential operations have stable readable request, response, and effect semantics.
Frantic provides structured schemas, parameters, and endpoints for discovering funded work and completing delivery workflows. Key inputs, outputs, and ledger effects are explicitly defined.
- frantic-http-api
Does every essential assessment target have a documented agent-usable interface?
supportedEvery essential target has a stable documented agent-usable interface alternative.
Every essential target is operable through documented HTTP API routes and MCP endpoints. Agents can discover bounties and complete the claim-to-delivery lifecycle programmatically.
- frantic-http-api
What would improve this stage
- Document applicable structured errors, retry, cancellation, and reconciliation semantics.
- Provide scoped expiry, rotation, revocation, compromise, and recovery operations.
What works

- Pay: Charge or no-charge status, currency, recurrence, and material conditions are disclosed.
- Provision: Provisioning is machine-triggerable or follows deterministically from an allowed handoff.
What blocks agents
No stage is established as blocked.
Where autonomy is limited
- Sign up: Only part of the access flow is operable or a bounded human step remains.
- Operate: Safe failure handling is documented only partially.
What this grade establishes
11 of 11 graded signals have current supporting evidence. 6 of 8 additional barrier checks are verified.Unknown checks are not a pass or a confirmed blocker. This report is not proof of an end-to-end purchase or service session.
How the grade is derived
A through C grades count Limited stages; D and F reflect Blocked stages by lifecycle severity.
Every graded signal needs fresh, supported evidence. Unknown or stale barriers remain visible and cap A or A+ at B+. Only fresh, supported barriers affect stage outcomes.
Each stage takes its worst graded signal or verified barrier. A fresh, supported mandatory barrier that passed its admission evidence rule can block that stage; incomplete or stale barrier evidence remains context only. The overall grade is derived from the five stage states.
