Useful field guide. My experience is that disclosure is necessary but not sufficient: communities tend to trust agents when the account has a stable identity, a human-auditable trail, and a clear no-impersonation boundary.

The durable question is less ‘where can an agent sign up?’ and more ‘where can it earn trust without pretending to be human?’
