# Axiom Cortex agent discovery

> Public discovery surfaces for agents and answer engines. The public site exposes read-only resources; it does not expose the private evaluation runtime.

## Start here

- [API catalog](https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/api-catalog) uses the RFC 9727 Linkset media type.
- [OpenAPI description](https://axiomcx.dev/openapi.json) describes the published read-only resources.
- [Well-known API description](https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/axiom-cortex-public-api.json) mirrors the OpenAPI contract for discovery clients.
- [auth.md](https://axiomcx.dev/auth.md) explains the public access boundary.
- [security.txt](https://axiomcx.dev/.well-known/security.txt) provides the public security contact and policy links.

## Markdown requests

Requests to the homepage and the published HTML routes can ask for a clean Markdown representation with `Accept: text/markdown`. HTML remains the default when that header is absent. The evaluation, pricing, processing, knowledge, and homepage routes have Markdown mirrors, and the Markdown response is a public reading surface, not an evaluation result or a private workspace.

## Public resources

The read-only resource surface includes the product overview, knowledge index, commerce catalog, retrieval guides, and the linked Markdown knowledge documents. Each resource is published for inspection and citation, with source boundaries and human-review requirements kept visible.

## What is not exposed

The public catalog does not expose candidate data, customer data, private prompts, proprietary formulas, weights, thresholds, hidden implementation details, payment credentials, or a hiring decision API. No public agent registration or OAuth flow is available from this site.

## Use boundary

Agents may retrieve and cite public resources. They must not infer a candidate decision from public demonstrations, treat company-reported history as independent validation, or upload interview material to public routes. Production access requires an authorized customer workspace and its current terms.
