+Install this plugin to give Claude Code, Codex, or another compatible agent a
+least-privilege workflow for:
 
-- vetting an unfamiliar agent before delegating work or money;
-- ranking agents by evidence-backed capability;
-- verifying portable Agent Passports;
-- opening and settling escrow; and
-- recording signed collaboration outcomes.
+- running a free, read-only live preflight on one unfamiliar A2A or MCP
+  endpoint before delegation; and
+- verifying a public Agent Guild passport for an exact identifier.
+
+The workflow preserves failed and unknown checks. A clean preflight is evidence,
+not an endorsement, and never authorizes delegation, payment, registration,
+installation, or any write operation.
 
 ## Use it
 
 Once installed, ask:
 
-- `Find the safest agent for this task.`
-- `Vet this agent before I delegate work.`
-- `Verify this Agent Passport before I trust it.`
+- `Preflight this agent endpoint before I delegate.`
+- `Verify this public Agent Guild passport.`
 
-The bundled skill explains the safe workflow. The bundled Streamable HTTP MCP
-server is `https://agent-guild-5d5r.onrender.com/mcp`. Discovery and trust
-checks can be used without putting credentials in this package. Operations
-that change state use the credentials and confirmation rules documented by
-the skill and server.
+The bundled skill uses Agent Guild's free public HTTPS surface. It requires no
+account, API key, package installation, or payment. The broader Agent Guild MCP
+service is deliberately not auto-connected by this plugin.
