# Axiom Cortex auth.md

## Public agent access

The public Axiom Cortex site exposes read-only product, pricing, knowledge, and retrieval resources. These resources do not require authentication, registration, an API key, or a bearer token.

Agent audience: automated agents and answer engines retrieving public Axiom Cortex product and knowledge resources.

Supported method: unauthenticated HTTPS `GET` requests to the published resources in the [API catalog](https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/api-catalog).

```yaml
agent_auth:
  skill: public-read-only
  register_uri: null
  provisioning_uri: null
  methods:
    - method: GET
      endpoint: https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/api-catalog
      credentials: none
```

The public site does not register agents or provision credentials. Use the catalog and the linked public resources directly.

The OAuth Protected Resource Metadata document is published at [/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource](https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource). It declares an empty authorization-server list, empty scopes, and no supported bearer-token methods because these public resources do not accept OAuth credentials.

## Protected product access

The production evaluation application is separate from this public website. This site does not publish an OAuth issuer, a token endpoint, an agent registration endpoint, or a candidate-data upload endpoint.

Registration endpoint: none is publicly available.
Provisioning endpoint: none is publicly available.
Credential use: no API key, bearer token, OAuth token, or candidate-data credential is accepted by this public site.

Do not send credentials, candidate media, transcripts, customer data, or payment details to public content routes. A customer workspace and any future agent registration flow require separately published production terms, access controls, and an authorized TeamStation AI handoff.
