## What it does

The server links AI tools to a directory of verified profiles and identifiers. In free mode, the agent queries names and inspects revision logs without passing an API token. All traffic runs over HTTP POST. The protocol is completely stateless.

Modifying records requires an API token or an OAuth sign-in. To prevent accidental edits, changing tools execute as a dry run first. Supplying an expired or revoked token triggers a `401` error. It will not silently fall back to public reading.
